Probably the distance from the town centre, but it was only less than 10minute taxi ride, and you need to call a taxi company to pick you up ahead of time, but there are a lot of taxi companies that you can contact anytime. it wasn't a big issue at all. If you have a car it won't be a problem.

Our main purpose was to hike Ben Nevis, and the hotel was just right at the base of the starting point of the hike. Breakfast was really lovely, everything was set right on the table for you, all you need is to wake up and sit on your table. The lawn/garden was just few steps to the river bank, spectacular view of the mountains as well. And the cherry on top were the lovely couple who owned the hotel, very accommodating!

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. I was amazed by the natural beauty of the surroundings, the warm and welcoming hosts, and the delicious breakfast. The atmosphere was peaceful, perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. Everything was clean, cozy, and made me feel at home. I would love to come back again and again. Highly recommended.

It was like a perfect dream! Heather and Scot were so lovely and welcoming! They went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time even though I was staying just for one night! The room was so cozy and clean. Fort William is such an incredible place and staying at the Achintee Farm is an absolutely must. Hopefully I’ll be able to come back one day. Wish my stay was much longer. Also to add - Ben Nevis Inn is a great place to get dinner if you are staying at the farm. Lovely food! Thank you again for everything and wish you all the best!

This is a perfect location if you're planning to hike Ben Nevis, as the trailhead is just a few hundred meters away. The surroundings are full of nature, birdsong, and breathtaking views of the mountains. And we were warmly welcomed by a kind and thoughtful couple who made our stay very pleasant. They were always ready to help and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. If we ever return to this area, we would absolutely love to stay here again. Thank you so much for your kindness and all your help!

Scot's home and his hospitality are simply perfect. The room is spacious, warm, beatiful. The bathroom is really huge and there's everything you could need, soft towels, shampoo, shower gel, hand soap... Both the room and the bathroom are extremely clean. For breakfast there's a lot of choice, and is very good. Scot is really nice, talkative and ready to give very good advice. An interesting experience!

Thank you Scott for your great hospitality, excellent breakfast and long conversation! The room and its en suite bathroom were both spacious and very clean. After arriving at the property we discovered it was at foot of Ben Nevis and a short walk away from the Ben Nevis Visitors Centre.

Scott has been an amazing host ! Someone passionate about people, living the moment and sharing a lot (stories, jokes, advices...) Moreover, the room is like a cocoon. We slept very well ! Besides, next to the huge and beautiful mountain to hike !

We loved the warmth of Scott, the setting, the hospitality, the breakfast, the room and everything about our experience at this B & B. There is a river at the end of the property. Scot made a reservation for us for dinner. He was kind and thoughtful. The house is absolutely beautiful and our room was quite nice with a lovely view of the garden. We will definitely return soon. I highly recommend this place.

We cannot stress enough how much we enjoyed our stay at Achintee. Both the house and the hosts are amazing. Great location, lovely views, extremely generous breakfast. A wonderful stay.

Everything was just great bathroom was excellent and impressive. So much room to move about in bedroom it was like a studio flat . Views from windows were amazing. Scott was very hospitable and couldn’t do any more to make our few days any better.

The hotel where we stayed during our road trip in Scotland was undoubtedly the most beautiful place. Firstly, the hotel had a homely atmosphere, was comfortable, quiet, and clean. The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable. We spent three wonderful days with a magnificent view from our room's window. It was a place where we could say we wished we could have stayed longer. And of course, Scot was very friendly, witty, and always ready to help. We had great communication, and he gave us many great recommendations for the area. Besides the pleasure of staying at the hotel, being Scot's guest made us very happy. We thank him very much for these wonderful three days. As we look back on our trip to Scotland, Scot will always hold a special place in our memories!

This accommodation was one of the best we have ever had in Scotland. A beautiful large bedroom and a smaller room with table and chairs and a small fridge invited us to stay. We were able to relax very well and had an extremely pleasant conversation with the owner who served us a fantastic breakfast. Thank you very much for the great hospitality.

Having to say goodbye to Scot and Achintee Farm.

Meeting the host, Scot, and staying at Achintee Farm was by far one of our most favorite memories in Scotland. I cannot speak highly enough of the hospitality! Scot was the wittiest, warmest, nicest person we have had the pleasure of meeting and made us laugh in every interaction. The place itself is incredibly charming. Our bedroom window overlooked grazing sheep and the mountains and the room was cozy, clean, spacious, and overall perfect. The breakfast in the morning was delicious, we both had the eggs with salmon and toast with jam. We didn't want to leave!
