Reviews

We stayed here overnight on our hike on the Great Glen Way. The Room and Bathroom was clean and the breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed Neil's company and learn a lot about history. Neil can collect you from Spean Bridge if you're not travelling by car as the farmhouse is a bit out of town.

I‘d a wonderful stay. It was a really warm welcome and I enjoyed it there a lot. Thanks for everything.

It was a real pleasure hosting and meeting, you , Ingaabsolutely delightful. Such a lovely Lady, I wish you the very best in all that you do. Peace and Happiness.Neil

The perfect stop for our journey from north to south. The B&B is beautifully situated with a view of the mountains, and very quiet, yet convenient for transport. Neil gave us a very friendly welcome, there were sweets on the beds and there were even several adapters for our plugs. Everything was very clean and smelled pleasantly fresh. The breakfast was freshly prepared and plentiful. We enjoyed the lovely company of Neil and the other guests here. As a farewell, we each received a pen from Achnabobane Farmhouse. Thank you for the pleasant stay!

Great place in a fantastic location and really good value. The only down side was I tried to climb Ben Nevis the next day!!

Warm welcome, comfortable room and bed, great breakfast.

Clean, neat, well managed, all resources available, like brochures etc. Good and hot morning breakfast, menu available a night before to choose from.Had to share toilet with another flatmate- she was alone and toilet and bathrooms were clean- so no worries.Away from Fort Williams about 6-7 miles, but as I was driving had no issues. If you are not driving you might want to get back soon- as public transportation might be an issue at night.Overall I would say a good experience- had a long and fun chat with Nick about Women's cricket and Climate change !

Great little B&B short drive from Fort William. Reasonable facilities, great views over the Ben.Easily accessible from the main rd.Nice that it caters for single travellers.

Wonderful stay, comfortable beds and good hot water for the shower.Niel is a wonderful host and a lot of fun to visit, he also fixes an amazing breakfast!

Charmante farmhouse, Neill est très sympathique, et en plus il aime Françoise Hardy ! 😂. Bonne continuation à vous 2.

Thank You Isabelle. It was an absolute pleasure to have you stay with us. Francoise Hardy has been a firm favourite of mine since the I first heard her on Radio Luxemburg, in the 1960s bonne chance à une charmante dame

The place has a wonderful view on the mountains and the breakfast was excellent

Great location for tourists traveling through.Comfortable room with a great Scottish breakfast.

Casa de campo ideal para descansar. El anfitrión prepara un desayuno bastante abundante y bueno, y es muy agradable. Está todo impecable de limpio, y aunque el baño es compartido, está limpio y cuidado cada vez que entraba.Lo único que el colchón y el somier de la habitación donde me alojé recomiendo cambiarlo, ya que algunos muelles se notaban al tumbarse.Todo lo demás excelente!!

Neil the host was very attentive and organised. room was excellent and breakfast set us up for the day. will defo stay again

I had a wonderful time at Achnabobane Farmhouse.A lovely property, in a perfect location.Neil was the perfect host, and makes a fantastic breakfast!If I'm ever in that part of Scotland again, I will be staying here again.Highly recommended!

My husband and I (from Canada) travelling with our adult son who lives in Denmark. Lovely accommodation in beautiful setting. Friendly and welcoming host. Excellent breakfast.

We had a wonderful 2 nt stay, well looked after by our knowledgeable and informative host Neil. Great cooked breakfast 🍳

Très bon séjour chez Neil. Très bon et copieux petit déjeuner.

A special location and a friendly and welcoming host.Breakfast at the top!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Neil has been an excellent host.

We enjoyed our three night stay very much. Nice view from our room on the Ben Nevis. Nice walks and near Fort William. Cosy room, rich breakfast and nice chats with Neil.

We had a lovely stay at Achnabobane Farmhouse. Neil shared expert local knowledge and cooked a delicious breakfast. We definitely recommend! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Although we arrived late Neil left clear instructions on how to access our rooms.The rooms were spacious and comfortable and very clean.Breakfast was lovely and served promptly.A very knowledgeable host who gave us “food for thought” alongside our full english

Neil was a friendly and efficient host. My room was clean and comfortable with fine views over the hills. A generous breakfast was served promptly in the light and airy dining room. Recommended.

Very nice. Our second time at Achnabobane did not disappoint us. Nice room, very clean with a great view of the Ben Nevis. Very tasty home cooked breakfast. Host Neil makes it all complete, friendly, knows a lot about the area and its history. We had a lovely three day stay!

Wir fühlten uns hervorragend untergebracht, das Frühstück war hervorragend und frisch zubereitet und mit perfekten Tips für die Weiterfahrt wurden wir auch versorgt. Die Gemeinschaftsdusche und - Toilette war sauber... Alles in allem ein perfekter Aufenthalt,Danke

Stayed here for 3 nights on motorbikes, Neil went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible,would highly reccomend to anyone who is looking to stay around Fort William

Neil made us feel very welcome and was full of information.Outstanding breakfast--comfortable and cozy room.Would highly recommend this B&B.If ever back in Scotland, we'll stay again...only accommodation I would return after this 3-week trip.

The slats on the bed kept comming of had to fix them several times. Lovley stay otherwise

Thank you Neil for making our stay so amazing. All the comforts of home and so much more. Breakfast, conversation, and tips on travel went above and beyond our expectations.For those choosing to stay here...be sure to watch out for an email with tips on saving money.

Wonderful as usual

Dear Neil,Thanks for providing a great place to stay during my travels. I enjoyed meeting you and wish you all the best.James

Response

Enjoyed the Craic, James. It was a pleasure to Host you. Many thanks., hope to see you again

Neil was informative and friendly and makes a good breakie,great location

I had a very nice stay. Lovely chats during breakfast and great advice on what places to visit in the neighborhood.

A very nice location overlooking the valley and mountain range of Ben Nevis.Neil the owner was very helpful and informative, and served a good quality breakfast at a very reasonable price.Thank you for making me welcome and helping me with any inquiries I had.Thank you,Paul.

Response

You are very welcome, Paul.I hope all turns out well for you.As an aside, a very heavy duty chain and padlock has now been installed on the gate and the plot prices have been reduced dramatically.

The only drawback is the remoteness of the farmhouse which would not be a problem if you have transport but is an issue if, like me, you are a walker. Fortunately for me Mr Ockenden was kind enough to pick me up from where I finished my walk and drive me back the next day.Room was good, as was breakfast, one of the nicer places I stopped at that week.

Lovely accomadation. Everything we needed. Ideal for the dogs. Lovely breakfast. Friendly helpful host.

In addition to the beautiful location this was possiblythe best breakfast you could find in The Highlands.

Easy access and a homely greeting and atmosphere throughout my stay

Stayed for the night before climbing Ben Nevis. Neil was very welcoming and the room was cosy and clean. Breakfast in the morning was very nice and would definitely stay here again!

ComfortableGood valueLovely views

Comfortable bed and an enjoyable veggie breakfast.Lovely and quietFriendly gentleman who suggested a good local restaurant in Splean Bridge which was excellent.

Excellent accueil.Excellent petit déjeuner.Une très grande gentillesse

It was an added bonus that the breakfast room doubled as a Guest Lounge

Het was helaas maar voor een nacht, maar de ontvangst van Neal was zeer vriendelijk en hij kan prachtig vertellen! Heel erg bedankt!

Our host Neil welcomed us warmly and we were given all necessary information right away. The house and our room were very clean and comfortable. Neil served the breakfast himself and was always open for a chat and was very helpful in giving information where to go to and which walks are worth doing. A wonderful and quiet surrounding, a welcoming host who even knew where in Germany we came from. Thank you very much, Neil! It was a lovely stay.

Neill received us very friendly. The English breakfast was really great!!!Room was god, would have liked to be instructed on how I can open the window.Everything was very clean and functional. We’d love to stay here again

We were walking the great glen way, and this was a welcomed break. The host went above and beyond, picked us up and dropped us back of on the great glen way. Fabulous breakfast plentiful and alot of choice. Can't thank the host enough, great start to our holiday

We have a good stay in the guesthouse. Neil was attent and we could ask information of the neighbourhood.The breakfast was OK.

Perfect location for hill climbing, and we were lucky with good weather!Plenty of choice of places to eat supper locally. Great host.

Lovely place to stay nice breakfast and a very nice host

Group of 6 stayed here on 2/7/22 after climbing Ben Nevis. Exactly what we needed, warm, clean comfortable rooms, hot showers and a delicious cooked breakfast in the morning.Neil the host is an absolute gentleman, he runs a smooth and professional operation.

Response

Aw, Shucks! You are very welcome, any time.

Authentic Scottish farmhouse.Very welcoming , friendly , knowledgeable host.Good breakfast.Beautiful scenic views

Neil, the owner is a very welcoming host. As he does everything alone, he is quite busy during the day. Breakfast is around 08.00 am. You can choose which kind of traditional scotish breakfast you want. Additionally there are offered fruits, cereals, coffee or tea, toast, butter, jam and selfmade marmelade.

Friendly. Very helpful and interesting host.Everything I needed. Shared bathroom - not a problem. Lovely cooked breakfast.

A pleasant and comfortable stay

We had the family room which was a kingsize and a single room interconnecting with en-suite shower. Very comfortable beds. Tv in both rooms. Neil is very informative and he cooked the best breakfast I’ve ever had I think !We would go back if in the area.

The room was clean and pretty, with a view on the mountains. The breakfast was great. Thanks to our host, we had a great time at Achnabobane farmhouse. I highly recommend!

A comfortable and very hospitable place great location, Neil was very welcoming and provided a delicious breakfast catering for all tastes.

I stayed here a night before heading to Fort William. Lots of hot water for baths and good parking. Breakfast was grand and the black-pudding excellent.

The whole of the home (rather than house) was spotlessly clean. The host was so very helpful and ready to assist in any way he could. All in all, a most comfortable place to stay albeit for only one night.

Good quality breakfast which we all enjoyed.

An enjoyable staff with a few unexpected 'quirks '. Never been asked to take off our outside shoes before proceeding beyond the porch. Host was a pupil of Basil Fawlty and with a similar degree of professionalism. Good conversation with fellow guests and the host over breakfast. Exactly 'what it says on the tin. An enjoyable overnight stay. Recommended

Room was nice with a pretty view over Ben Nevis. Accomodating host that helårs solve issues. Good breakfast

Lovely host, room and bathroom really clean. Delicious breakfast.

Our host did everything to make our stay a welcoming one.He picked us up and dropped us off.He gave us a substantial breakfast and our stay was very pleasant.

It was perfect. Really lovely room, everything clean. An Neil is a really nice host. He gave us so many and good Informations for our onward journey.Breakfast was also really good.

Great night's sleep in a comfortable room.Perfect breakfast.Neil was very friendly.Would recommend.

Neil made me very welcome and the accomodation is excellent for the price.The lack of En-suie is compensated as there is a wash hand basin in each room.The breakfast was excellent of both occasions of my stay.I hope to return.

Thankyou so much for the lovely stay.Bed was very comfty slept like a log. Room was very clean.Fry up was lovely especially the sausage..Thankyou so much for the lift to the start of my days walk

Great stay and welcome host.Top breakfast too

As per usual, the room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable and everything was quiet. The breakfast was top notch and Neil was his usual chatty self. Full marks, see you next autumn!

This is an excellent B&B, a convenient stop off for journeys North.Neil is a very friendly host and the facilities are good.Cooked breakfast excellent.It was a pity that no single room was available as a twin room for one person (without en-suite) was slightly pricey.Enjoyed my stay and meeting Neil.

Nice quiet location,spotlessly clean,good food,very helpful and friendly hosts.

Neil the host was a very attentive host and the breakfast was excellent! I would stay again or recommend to a friend.

Lovely place, in lovely area.

We only stayed one night on route to travelling further up north on holiday. The two adjoining rooms we had we very nice and comfortable and clean. The breakfast was delicious, and Neil our host was a mindful of information and help and we had much in common to talk about. We would most certainly stay again on our next travels to the area.

Great location, perfect stop over for us, well looked after, breakfast good.Good host with even better banter - you should be proud of yourself Neil - hope your still on the mend too…

Well kept property.Clean well equipt.Breakfast ober overwhelming-so much food!

Welcoming host, clean, warm, with wandering hens giving the place a farmhouse feel.

Thank you for your warm welcoming. Quite place, away from city. Tasty breakfast and warm house. Would definitely come again!!

We stayed for 2 nights in this lovely house with it's stunning views, Neil the owner cooked a fantastic breakfast despite his injuries obtained in an motor bike accident, Rooms were lovely and clean, all in all a great stay

We were walking the GGW and our host Neil, very kindly collected us from Spean Bridge and dropped us back on the trail the following morning. Our room was a good size double with a bedroom sink. The bathroom was closeby. A bath was very welcome for aching legs!Neil cooked a lovely breakfast and made us feel welcome. He runs a tight ship and is very well organised!...Thanks Neil!!

Our 5 nights in Spean Bridge were as peaceful as we could have hoped for. It's surrounded by beautiful Scottish countryside dominated by the large hills and peaks. If you get lucky with the weather as we were, it's a walkers paradise. Neil knows his location and has a vast wealth of knowledge on the area so if you are at a lose end, I'm sure he will find something of interest you can do or see. The Old Station Restaurant and Pub is still a train station, serve a mean pint of IPA and a great selection of food fare. We would love to pass thru there again in the not too distant future.

Comfortable good facilities Neil is a good host good breakfast

This is the forth time I have lodged here. Everything was clean, comfortable and in general just a pleasant place too stop. Neil was his usual chatty self dispute his recent injuries! 5 stars!

Very good price. Perfectly clean, good service from the owner, nice breakfast. Peaceful and attractive surroundings.

Neil was the ultimate host,the place was clean and comfortable.Breakfast was amazing.

We were fortunate to find Neil’s place as it was the right distance from our other stops on Great Glen Way to make it all possible. We enjoyed the whole experience and are very grateful for assistance we received from Achnabobane

warm welcome, very comfortable rooms, lovely breakfast, easy access to explore area

Wonderful place! Full of history Homely feel. Neil is really helpful humble chap. If ever in Scotland this is the place to stay with proximity to all the great attractions Scotland has to offer. Great time!!! Thank You Neil from us all.

Great location with the view, very tidy, Neil was very helpful and his breakfasts was delicious, we highly recommend Achnabobane.

Great location, good food and I was made to feel at home at this lovely farmhouse. Neil was a fine host. I will definitely be back!

Location is excellent. It's so peaceful and quite but still very close to popular tourist attractions (Ben Nevis, Glencoe, Fort William, Viaduct etc). View was beautiful from my room. You can also get a wonderful mountine landscape if you are sitting in the garden. Breakfast was fresly made by the host who is a very lovely man. There are couple of rules to follow but Neil runs the business by his own so it's understandable and he's doing great job.House is tidy, room is clean, bathroom/toilet is neat, bed is very comfortable, there is a quite big safe car park. If you need anything from a supermarket there is an Aldi, M&S not too far from the farmhouse. By the way it's also very easy to find the place. You can't miss it, direction signs on the road which will help you if your sat nav fails. I really enjoyed my time here. I hope I'll be back. There is so many nice places to see around. I would highly recommend this place to those who don't want too many people around, prefer quite cosy nights and appreciate peaceful atmosphere.

I spent one night only @ Achnabobane Farmhouse. Good place to stay with dog. We found a great walk up the road. I had great sleep, breakfast was good and tasty. I would recommend ????

I stayed for a night on my way home and had a good nights sleep and a lovely breakfast.

Single male,a few days on a cycling hol as a break from lockdown,,,,,good price,nice room,thats all im looking for,somewhere decent to sleep,,,and it woukd be excellent as a base to see local attractions.

A very nice warm welcome from Neil the B&B owner. A very nice, clean, warm and welcoming B&B, providing everything that I required for my one nights stay, many thanks. Wonderful views of the Nevis range from the B&B, which is perfectly located for climbing the Ben, North Face or CMD routes. Lovely home produce for the lovely cooked breakfast. Many thanks for the welcome and stay Neil, hopefully I will return to visit in the not to distant future. Kind regards Karl.

Great place to stay, very welcoming owner. Clean place with great breakfast

For the price facilities were adequate although as a Walker I found (after a long hard day) the walk into Spean Bridge too much and snacked in my room. Otherwise the host was very entertaining and attentive and breakfast was smashing. I left my charger in the room and he delivered it to me on my trail. Very very kind. Thank you.

Response

You are very welcome.Note to all who read Nicks very kind review, if you are walking the Great Glen Way, a phone call to me, will get you a ride from Gairlochy to our House and return the following morning. Time allowing as there is but me. If you are happy to wait a short time, then that will save your legs for sure!

Jim and I would like to thank you for having us we thoroughly enjoyed our stay the host was very friendly and the hospitality was amazing the beds were so comfy the breakfast was delicious the location was peaceful and tranquil just what we wanted and it’s pet friendly too it was like being at home and we would highly recommend it and hopefully one day we will be back thank you once again.

On arrival we were greeted and welcomed by the ownerand the bikes parked in a secure yard.the farmhouse is situated ideally with stunning views.the bedrooms were clean and well organised and the beds,were comfortable.breakfast was made fresh in the morning to what we ordered and nothing was too much trouble. We had a relaxing stay

Many thanks for making my stay comfortable and making me feel welcome.

My stay was extremely pleasant. My room was small but adequate for me. Very friendly hostand although in a remote area it made for a very quiet stay and great views from my room. Breakfast was superb. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone

Great place, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast and fantastic host. Highly recommended.

Well ran and by the nicest straight talking guy I've met.. breakfast was amazing also..Thanks againWill see you in the near future for sure.Calum

Neil was a legend of a host really made us feel at home, and a man with great knowledge. Close to Loch Ness and has a beautiful view of mountains from the bedroom

First class accommodation, we will be booking again Thank You

Third time stopping here in the last 2 months. Every time Neil has been very accommodating and does a cracking breakfast. Will definitely booking again next time I am in the area

Very comfortable stay and Nigel was a great host

The farmhouse is in a pretty but accessible location on the A82. Neil is an accommodating host and we spent a comfortable night before travelling onward.Dogs are welcome which makes a pleasant change and their needs thought through, though they need to be on the lead due to Neil’s and local livestock which is understandable.

We had a lovely 2 night stay here at Achnabobane Farmhouse. Rooms were cosy and comfortable and breakfast was lovely and freshly cooked by our host Neil who made us feel right at home.Views were stunning.Highly recommend this B&B.

Managed to get a last minute booking , owner was welcoming well worth the money .

We stayed for 5 nights at Achnabobane farmhouse whilst we spent our days exploring the beautiful area surrounding Fort William.Neil was a superb host, very friendly and welcoming.The cooked breakfast each morning was exceptional too!

Response

It was a pleasure to Host you all. Great fun. Good conversation. Model Guests!What more could one ask for?Many thanks for choosing Achnabobane Farmhouse.Kindest regardsNeil

Super B&BRoom was lovelyBed very comfortableBathroom spotlessBreakfastgreatNeil is a lovely host. Very welcomingand friendly

We had a lovely overnight stay, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and with one of the best breakfasts ever.Neil was very welcoming and an absolute mine of information! We will be back with our motorbikes, hopefully!!

Response

It was a pleasure to host you both. Would brilliant to e you up here on the bikes. The roads here are well suited for them and the views are spectacular.Till the next time,TTFNNeil

A very nice stay in the Scottish Highlands. The owner was very welcoming on arrival. Upon departure we had a good chat and he was very open and welcoming. The breakfast was very nice with most of the food coming straight off his farm. The room was very comfortable. If i am ever in the area again i will definitely look to stay there again.Thanks for a very nice stay.

Everything was spotless, the breakfasts were spot on. The room was clean and aired every day, the bed was comfortable. Neil is a cracking fella too chat with, so much so that I almost missed an appointment one morning due to chatting! I will definitely be booking again when I'm next in the area. 5 star from me!

Thanks Neil, for a great stay! Your warm hospitality was greatly appreciated.Best wishes,The 'Girls'Caroline, Britney & Gimyana

Response

It was an absolute delight to host you, Caroline, Britney & Gimyana. Enjoyed the craic and the company.Kindest regardsNeil

Clean, comfortable, great breakfast and enjoyed a chat with a character that was the host.

Pleasant stay with comfortable accommodation and tasty breakfast. Host is engaging and clearly enjoys conversations which extend way further than the customary 'weather'

Highly recommend

Neil is very hospitable and has many experiences and knowledge to share. He informed us of local restaurants/taxis etc which was helpful. Our rooms were spotless and we were provided with good quality tea, coffee and biscuits. Lovely cooked breakfast and a good selection for the continental option too. Having a shared bathroom was less of a problem than we imagined and both shower and toilet were again,spotless. We would definitely revisit the farmhouse!

Response

Hello Jason & Louise,Many thanks for the Review, it was a pleasure to Host you both and the Girls. I enjoyed the 'craic' and the company. So pleased that the weather stayed fine for your expedition up the Ben. Look forward to seeing you all again, soon.TTFNNeil

No issue with room and facilities. Very comfortable bed, lovely breakfast. Was just kept up till the early hours with the people staying next door talking loudly. But other than that no issues.

Very nice place, owner very accommodating and friendly. Nice breakfast with a Harry Potter magic toaster! ????

Many tanks for your kind words, Ricky.It was a pleasure to Host you and the Lads. Enjoyed the Craic and the Lads are a credit to you and your Good Lady. As they say up here, \'Haste Ye Back\'!

Comfortable, warm place to stay, not far from Fort William, clean rooms, peaceful & quiet. Good to relax & take dogs ????

This is a very welcoming, warm and comfortable B&B and good value for money - Neil is very friendly and made a lovely breakfast. I would recommend to anyone.

Very happy with everything.Our room was spotless and very comfortable.Breakfast great.Neil was very welcoming and took time to tell us lots about the history of beautiful countryside.Would recommend.

Das Farmhouse liegt etwa 1,5 Kilometer außerhalb von Spean Bridge in traumhafter Kulisse. Natur und Hügel so weit das Auge reicht. Im Garten gibt es Hühner und gleich nebenan Kühe, Schafe und Gänse. Es war herrlich ruhig und entspannend. Das Auto konnten wir im Hof parken, der durch ein großes Tor geschlossen ist. Der Garten lädt bei gutem Wetter zum verweilen ein. Bei schlechtem Wetter gibt es auch den Aufenthaltsraum mit TV und Spielen. Neil ist ein super Gastgeber und hat uns herzlich in seinem Haus Willkommen geheißen. Er ist echt lustig und ein toller Gesprächspartner mit allerhand spannenden Geschichten und Tipps für die Umgebung. Wir hatten das Dreibettzimmer im Erdgeschoss, das aus zwei Zimmern und einem Bad bestand, die durch eine Tür verbunden waren. Jedes Zimmer hatte seinen eigenen TV und eigene Utensilien für Tee und Kaffee. Das Bad ist zwar klein, aber völlig ausreichend. Die Zimmer sind mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und waren mollig warm und total gemütlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl und heimisch gefühlt. Das Frühstück war lecker und ausreichend. Warmes Frühstück wird nach eigenen Wünschen zubereitet und dazu gibt es noch ein kleines Büffet mit Toast, Marmeladen, Joghurt, Saft, etc. Vielen Dank, Neil!

Response

It was a pleasure to host you all. Pleased that your visit was a pleasant one. Many thanks and enjoy the rest of your time in Scotland.

It was a lovely stay with an amazing hospitality and unforgettable breakfast history lessons! Thank you Neil!

Great budget option very clean & comfortable - breakfast was good through a little rigid on the 8-8.15 timing though this suited me.

nothing to complain about, nice host, nice area, nice accomodation and lovely breakfast.

Hello,thank you so much for all. This was our second stay in your house and everything was fine again. Hope to see you soon.Kind regards from Germany,Frank

We spent two nights at that lovely farmhouse, which has, beside its great location, a nice atmosphere, comfortable warm rooms and really an awesome breakfast! Additional plus were the funny anecdotes and useful tips and hints by the really friendly host. We will surely come back if we are at that region again :)

This place was charming, cozy, and peaceful, in a beautiful setting. We loves it all. Great breakfast too. We really enjoyed visiting with the owner, and with the other guests at breakfast.

Very nice guesthouse in a quiet location with free parking and free wlan,excellent breakfest.

Vwry good breakfast

Had a wonderful stay at the farm. My room was very comfortable and facilities excellent. Loved the view from my room and the excellent breakfast. Neil was a great host and very knowledgable and informative about the area etc. Would highly recommend and will stay again if in area. Thank you.

Our stay was very comfortable andNeil is a great hostOur breakfast was fantastic, we recommendedStayingwithNeil at the farmhouse

Lovely comfortable room with a great view in the countryside (a matter of minutes from Fort William). Good cooked breakfast and pleasant host. If you plan to arrive late in the afternoon bring food with you for dinner unless you plan to drive to a restaurant later. Shared bathroom but very clean.

Great place to getaway! The breakfast is delicious! The room is cosy and clean. And nice view and surrounding!

We enjoyed a pleasant stay at Achnabobane Farmhouse for 2 days. A perfect stay for trips in the surrounding as Glen / Ben Navis.4 stars: there are only a shared shower and bathroom.

Sehr nett. Grosszügige Zimmer. Fantastischer Ausblick. Feines Frühstück.

Enjoyed my one night stop over Neil a very pleasant man, Clean and tidy house, would stop again...Thanks Neil

We only sleep one night in these guesthouse. The breakfast was simple, but very good.

Very good reception

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay. Neil's fry- ups were legendary. Highly recommended.We plan to visit Loch Ness sometime soon, and hope we can book in for our first night.

Great accommodation. Not at all far from Fort William. Very quiet. Excellent sleep and very comfy beds. Breakfast was smashing would stay again. Well done to Neil considering he was doing it all himself.

Just 1 night but it was very comfortable and relaxed in a beautiful surrouding. The owner was very kind and made a delicious breakfast. Very close to Spean bridge and Fort William. Definitely a place to come back.

Response

It was a real pleasure to meet you, Vera. Many thanks for your time and writing a review. Very kind of you.

Very friendly and helpfull owner. Bed was fairly small. Breakfast was great. Owner gave us good advise for our remaining trip.

Leuke verblijfplaats, wel geen fan van tapijt. Zeker niet als er ook honden zijn toegelaten.

During our trip we stayed in many places and the Scottish welcome never disappointed us, but this farm immersed in nature really left us a nice memory!It teaches that with a few simple rules every place can be enjoyed to the fullest and in harmony!The shoes must be leaved at the entrance, the rest of the house and the rooms are really nice and very characteristic! A very clean and comfortable room with a kettle, some snacks, closet, TV and a beautiful view of the mountains of the Great Glen!The facilities are shared but the toilet and shower are in two separate rooms (very convenient) and really clean and very stocked! Also in the room there was a sink and a mirror for hygiene needed without having to go out!The owners have given us all the necessary directions, for breakfast is left a form where you can choose every preference between the typical Scottish things or the international classic!some things are buffet, everything else is cooked in front of guests by the owner who entertains sympathetically! The jams are all homemade and you can buy them (I got one at the really special whiskey); parking is clearly included and the value for money is really great!I highly recommend it to those who want to stop discovering Scotland in the deep, because it really deserves!

Stayed at this farmhouse when i finished the west highland way, lovely place and breakfast was really good, Neil the owner was a very nice host.

Sehr Gastfreundliches sauberes Haus, Gastgeber Neil bereitet jedem ein sehr leckeres üppiges Frühstück.

Response

The pleasure was all mine. Enjoyed your company and the German language lessons. Danke vielmals

Gracious owner comfortable room beautiful grounds delicious breakfast

I stayed for 1 night as I toured the area. This is a lovely, family-style B&B and was warmly greeted by Neil as I arrived, who runs the place almost single-handedly. There were a few house rules to observe to help him manage, such as a fixed breakfast time and this was not a problem. The garden was a little overgrown due to the poor weather and as it was drizzling, I only managed a short stroll around it. I can imagine sitting in it during good weather watching the scenery.I had a single room with a shared bath; the room was fine and sharing a bathroom with 7 others didn't bother me but I would guess this is not for everyone. I had a small TV in the room (fewer channels due to signal problems) but was able to watch the big one in the lounge. Breakfast was a full Scottish (you selected your items the night before) and lots of it, eggs from Neil's chickens and a home made sausage stood out for me. If I had to comment, the plates were rather small and as Neil dished and served all 8 breakfasts were dished out and served at the same time, some of the ingredients came lukewarm.All in all, an enjoyable stay and the price reflected the lack of en suite etc. Restaurants were fairly close by and it's a great area for walking.

Thank you Sir ! I am sorry for short stay.I have been on the summit Ben Nevis sucsessful at 8 o'clock.Best regards Hubert

Response

Excellent news, Hubert. Bravo! And you are always welcome here.

Excellent host who was pleasant and accommodating. House was clean and comfortable. Delicious breakfast with a wide choice on the menu. Thank you for the view from the window.

I have stayed at the Achnabobane Farmhouse many times over the last 15 years and each and every stay is as good as the last, the last always being of the highest order. I will return! I hope those of you reading this will enjoy what I have enjoyed over the years, a little place home from home. ENJOY!

We very enjoyed out Stay,rooms werd clean,breakfast was perfect and the host was very helpful and jas a lot of good stories. IT was a pleasure to be there

This is a beautiful place in a lovely setting with a friendly and helpful host. Room and bed were comfortable and breakfast was delicious.

Fantastic location. Great aspect-would recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Achnabobane Farm. The place is in a very good strategic location, but the highlights here are the incredible views from our room and the breakfast room and the great personality of the host. Neil is a great talker and will tell you story about wisky you've never heard of. AH!! and the breaksfast is awesome!

manager Neil runs the b&b alone and in his own way and that works perfectly. Everything is fine, the location is stunning with great views of ben nevis range. Very good breakfast too.

Lovely place with beautiful view !Neils his very kind and give good advices.Breakfast is so good !

The pleasure was all mine, Isabelle. Your Boys did you Proud! I am extremely pleased you had such an enjoyable stay.Such things, are what memories are made of, I am glad we could help making them. Haste Ye back as they say here. Anytime, just give me a call.

This oppose was clean, panful and secluded. I was the only person staying on the night I was there so had the shared bathroom to myself. The clocks went forward this weekend and unfortunately the host forgot so breakfast was at 9am instead of the prescribed 8am, also he did voice his political views rather enthusiastically at breakfast, which I found rather intrusive and completely unnecessary! On the whole a good peaceful place to stay.

Our firstexperience of staying in b&b and we weren'tdisappointed. We enjoyed stayingin Neil,s cosy home which had everything we could possibly have wanted and we have to comment on his excellent cooking and social skills.

The hotel is about 15 mins from the tourist path up Ben Nevis. Absolutely stunning views from the hotel. Neil is a good bloke and if you fancy a good chat he's full of interesting facts and stories. The rooms were clean and beds comfy and we got to watch movies on the night. After an awful trek on Ben Nevis our clothes were soaked through and Neil kindly let us use his dryer. Breakfast was nice with fresh eggs available from the chickens running around the farm, stunning views of the mountains from the breakfast room. Pricey in comparison to chain hotels but I believe in supporting independent businesses.

Wonderful as as usual cosy room dog friendly lovely breakfast

Thanks to Neil for a comfortable short stay, excellent breakfast and interesting conversations.

It is out of town with the disadvantages entailed in that. But it has lots going for it. It is quiet and comfortable, good bedrooms and excellent breakfast. The host is friendly and helpful. I would certainly book again.

I had the best experience staying here. I originally booked for 1 night but extended for another. My room was very clean and the house always had a delightful and fresh aroma. The included breeakfast was delicious and the host was very helpful with everything.

Hats off to Neil for singlehandedly maintaining the warm hospitality of this farmhouse accommodation in spite of limited facilities.

Very lovely farmhouse. Great peaceful location. Lovely room. Lovely breakfast. We enjoyed it so much and definley coming back again

Simpel but good! Friendly en peronal

Achnabobane was a lovely B&B. The host was very friendly and full of tales to tell. Our room was a little on the small side but adequate for our needs. We shared a bathroom with two other visitors, if this is a problem for you you may wish to specify when booking. Breakfast was plentiful and freshly cooked.

Neil and his farmhouse were very accommodating and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely and presented beautifully. Cannot fault this stay, apart from the road works on the road to get to the farm.

Comfortable rooms in a good location, just down the road from Spean Bridge where there are restaurants, cafe and a local convenience shop. Book ahead for dinner.The house is spacious with a lovely breakfast room/lounge. Neil, the host cooks up a fantastic breakfast, and has some great stories to tell. Thank you Neil.

Lovely place, beautiful views, dog friendly but at £15.00 per dog wee but much sorry Neil

Achnabobane Farmhouse is in a wonderful location.Stunnng views of the Nevis range let you know you are well and truly in The Highlands ! We stayed there as our base for the Jacobite railway but it’s also perfect as a launch point for doing Ben Nevis . An ideal place for a two night stay.The property is clean and the host is welcoming ,friendly and can supply you with loads of local informationand the breakfasts are generous with lovely homemade sausages , jams and marmalade.....it is truly an oasis in The Highlands.

Lovely building, no traffic noise, friendly owner, amazing wintergarden

The real taste of a country stay. Bonus: the scottish history lesson and the very helpful tips we became from Neil

Our stay at Achnabobane Farmhouse was excellent. The rooms were lovely, beds very comfortable, and china mugs on the drinks and snack table.Neil made us welcome and his breakfast ( with eggs from his own hens) delicious.I would highly recommend this B&ab.

we had a one night stay because we went through, but we had a lovely talk with the owner, what could have bin much longer, he made us a wonderful breakfast!

Room was clean and tidy, with a comfortable bed. Location was good for exploring Fort William, though it is much easier to get around with a car, as is not walking distance to the town. Neil was a very friendly host, with a good breakfast.

Very welcoming and good value accommodation. Host was friendly, informative and the breakfast was outstanding. Purchased some of the home made marmalade as it was lovely. Will definitely stay again the next time we are in the area.Gregor Young

Super clean and cosy. The owner is amazing and I loved the bleating sheep and chicken in the garden. My room had a stunning view and they also sell eggs and homemade jams. Could not be happier.

We had a lovely 1 night stay in Achnabobane farmhouse. Neil is such a funny and welcoming host. He picked us up from the Great Glen Way and even droveus to a great restaurant in Spean Bridge. The family room we stayed in was really comfortable and smelled very clean. It was just amazing waking up to the spectacular view from his house. Hats off to Neil, truly, for continuing everything after the loss of his wife and doing it by himself. It was a stay to remember!

Very good stay, attractive and comfortable house. We liked the view, the quiet place, the room(chamber). Thank's a lot for your welcome and for the fruits that you've give us when we're start ! It's nice attention !

Really great to meet Neil (the proprietor). Lovely family room, with separate single room and shower. Very comfortable and breakfast was excellent, with the best eggs we have ever tasted.

A comfortable farmhouse with fantastic views of Ben Nevis, Aonach Mor and the Grey Corries. There is easy access to many mountain walks, low level walks, and to Fort William. The breakfasts are very good and the rooms clean and well decorated. The owner is friendly and helpful.

GREAT EXPERIENCE. FRIENDLY PLACE AND PEOPLE

Ali really pampers his guests. All the home comforts delivered with professionalism. Most comfortable bed in Scotland out of all my travels.

nice room. friendly people

Friendly and helpful host who knew loads of nearby sights and local history.Excellent breakfast. Beautiful mountain view and lovelyfarmhouse with farm animals.

When you come from the inner City chaos of Greater Manchester, can there be any better place then this? Sure there are the noises of the farmland in the morning, and sharing a bathroom and toilet might be a bit of a drag, but then you look out of the window and see the Ben Nevis range and you forget minor inconveniences like that. Plus there is no traffic noise, the bane of so many establishments I've stayed at. I did find the room a bit stuffy which affected my sleep, but that is just me. Food was plentiful and well cooked. Just a great place in a great place!

This is a Great wee bnb that Neil is running ,very helpful host, second to none with his local knowledge, breakfast are delicious especially the haggis, views are beautiful would definitely recommend this bnb

We had a very nice stay at Achnabobane Farmhouse, which is situated in a lovely and spectacular landscape. From there we explored the fantastic Glencoe area and went for a wonderful walk to the hidden valley. Neil made us feel very welcome and prepared a delicious breakfast for his guests. Thanks very much, Neil. We enjoyed it a lot, also the nice bottle of German wine you gave us one evening.😊

The pleasure was all mine, Claudia & Hans. Lovely to have met you both and very much enjoyed your company. Umm, the wine was excellent! All the best parties end up in the kitchen!!

We were extremely happy with our stay. The house and gardens were beautiful and the views were out of this world. The breakfast was very nice, even the sausages were homemade by Neil’s fair hands. I would definitely recommend this place. It was easy to find and in easy reach of local attractions

I've stayed only one night at the Achnabobane Farmhouse and loved it. The place is very nice and quiet, the bed was very confy and the breakfast very nice. I was travelling with a motorbike and the owner is also a biker so it was nice talking about our passion.You can easily get dinner at Spean Bridge or Fort William in the evening but you'll have to drive.

Great place to stay. Everything you’d want.

My room was very comfortable and the views from the bedroom window were stunning.Neil was a good host and very informative and a good conversationalist albeit a bit of cheeky chap thrown in for good measure.Lovely breakfast.I enjoyed my stay.

I spent two nights at Achnabobane Farmhouse. The view from my bedroom window of Ben Nevis and surrounding area was breath-taking. An ideal location for visiting other stunning scenery and facilities. When in the area, Achnabobane will be my first choice B&B.GREAT breakfast!!!! Superb host. The room was clean and well looked after and that can be applied to all the house. As they say in my county of birth, PROPER JOB!

Nice place to spend our holiday in Scotland...

Neil has given us many tips. thanks for that. unfortunately the Jacobite train didn’t pass at the. Glennfinnanbridge because it was sunday! We haven’t seen him...Clean room, lovely breakfast. shared bathroomNeil runs the B&B on his own: respect! Elisabethswee dram is a beautiful remeberance

I stayed here whilst on a walking weekend. This B&B is very comfotable, warm and spotless. I had to leave very early both days so I missed cooked breakfast however Neil was very accommodating and let me help myself to cereals and toast etc. so I didn't go hungry. There is a very useful booklet in the bedrooms which explains everything you need to know about the B&B-including a touching tribute to Neil's late wife Elizabeth. On my first day, I got soaked and fell into a river. Luckily Neil helped to dry my clothes! My room was very comfortable, perfect size for one person and had TV, sink, kettle and selection of teas and biscuits with the stunning views of Ben Nevis and the Grey Corries & the garden. Thank you Neil for your hospitality

What a Fantastic Place!!The room, the views, the food and especially conversation with Neil was all brilliant!Patti and I both appreciate all of the hospitality and will HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Achnabobane Farmhouse to all of our friends and family!Best regards and THANK YOU for everything.Gary and Patti Obermeyer

Response

Hi Patti & Gary, You will make me blush, Sir! It was an absolute pleasure talking to you both during you visit here. It is rare opportunity to discuss with anyone, the tactics employed by Gen. Lee and Grant. I learnt a lot from you Gary and I thank you for that. Col. Gadsden remains an interesting topic of conversation and will be 'trooped' out each and every July. If ever you both decide to return to these shores, please be assured of a very warm welcome here. - Neil & Elizabeth

We stayed in this guest house on our great Glen way walk.Neil was very helpful in picking us up at Spean bridge, which helped us a great deal as we had our dog with us and it would have been difficult to walk with her along the stretch of the busy a82 between Spean Bridge and the guest house.He also dropped us the next day for the start of the walk.Tha guest house is in a stunning location with amazing views.The rooms were really clean and comfortable.Would definately recommend staying here.

Hello Charlotte (Sharon) & Richard, glad to hear you made the Great Glen Way all the way to Inverness and home. Sam was and is, a credit to you. It would be a pleasure to see you all again, as they say up here 'Haste ye back'!!

What a lovely place to stay and would highly reccommend it to everyone. So welcoming to both us and our dogs. Everything you could possibly ask for and so much more. Immaculate accommodation, great breakfast and great host.Definately will return. Just fab. Thanks Neil :)

Hi Kirsty - thank you for those kind words. It was a pleasure to have you all here. The dogs were a delight and would be very happy to you and them again. Hope the Cale challenge went smoothly. Until the next time - Haste Ye Back!!
