    This is the perfect B&B!!! Lisa and Sandy have thought of everything. Located close to Fort William with a view of the loch. We had a lovely spacious room with 4 poster bed and excellent bathroom. Breakfast was superb with cereals, fruit, toast,...

Lisa & Sandy
Ravenswood House is nearly 150 years old, having been built originally in 1872 and served as a military base then a royal navy base in the First World War. Our home is the upper part of a large Victorian villa. Set completely in its own grounds the property boasts stunning elevated views over the West Highland Railway Line to Loch Linnhe, Ben Nevis and surrounding countryside. Ravenswood oozes an abundance of character and charm and boasts a wealth of original Victorian features including a striking glazed cupola and open plaster archway in the dining hallway and open fireplaces in most rooms. The property is situated in the village of Corpach on the A830 and close to the A82, only 4 miles from Fort William town centre. Buses to and from Fort William are regular and stop twenty metres from the bottom of the drive, as well as only being a 5 minute walk from Corpach train station. Featuring views of the Loch Linnhe and surrounding mountains, each spacious room features a seating area, storage and tea and coffee making facilities. As well as, free WiFi and free onsite parking. Breakfast is served in the guest dining hallway, which features a striking glazed cupola.
Your hosts are Lisa and Sandy, as well as their daughter Keira and cat Ronnie. Lisa and Sandy were both born and raised in Fort William. With Lisa returning in 2019 after spending 7 years in Australia and travelling the world. Both love the outdoors and enjoy eating out and give plenty recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Local knowledge is extensive - like having your own personal tourism information on site. Both hosts travel a lot socially and professionally and as such would like to extend to guests the type of treatment, they would like to receive themselves, in a homely atmosphere. We love to meet people from different walks of lives and cultures.
Ravenswood House is ideally located for visiting the Island of Skye, Glen Coe and Loch Ness. Close to a range of activities including climbing, walking and cycling trails (including the west highland way and great glen way), salmon fishing, horse riding , golf, kayaking and sailing. The Jacobite Steam Train doubling as the famous Hogwarts Express can be seen and heard daily as it whizzes passed directly in front of the property. The world famous Ben Nevis Distillery is a short drive away and a must see and do is Neptune's Staircase within a few minutes walk - Telford's flight of Locks on the Caledonian Canal, the footpath of which forms a major part of the Great Glen Way. Nevis Range Scotland's premier outdoor sports area is on our doorstep offering all the winter sports you could imagine and is the venue every year for World Cup class mountain biking events - reinforcing Fort William is very much the Outdoor Capital of the UK. More than enough to see and do for you? Fort William is probably best known because our Highland town is located at the foot of the highest mountain in the UK - Ben Nevis. Each year more than 500,000 people visit Fort William to climb up the mountain
