    We were not aware that the keys needed to be picked up/dropped from/to Inverlochy castle which is half a mile from there. As we had arrived late at night it was hassle as no one was available to guide us. One of the guests staying there informed us. We were expecting this information could have been passed to us earlier. We had been waiting at the cottage.

    The place was easily accessible. Since we had a toddler an extra bed was provided. A day's stay was comfortable.

    Couldn't open bathroom window to fully cool the bathroom, however all windows worked properly for the bedroom. Also, suggest a room fan for summer months.

    Picturesque location. Friendly and accommodating staff. Quaint and clean.

    Lack of attention to detail with the cleaning, feeling like an add on to the hotel.

    The factors Inn is located at the edge of the estate, with the hotel being the main facility. Whilst it was okay, there were a couple of cleanliness issues that we found on arrival that took a while to get sorted out. Most previous comments have reported on the lack of facilities there, with the Factors Inn being the poor relation on the Hotel complex. That said the room facilities were fine and whilst they provided a bed for our dog, charging £40 for his stay was in our opinion steep, given he was a border terrier and unlikely to make a difference to any cleaning that was completed afterwards. ( This was also the most expensive charge for a dog at any of our stays).

    Towel radiator in bathroom held with electrician tape so was unable to turn this on as I was uncomfortable. No room service till the last night… all the empty space downstairs that could have been a bar or leisure room. Not seeing staff until checking out, don’t seemed to be very caring for the customers

    Location, parking, dog friendly (with high fee), bed was comfortable and the facilities were average

    Very close to the busy main road which was not expected . The door handle should be changed as my hubby hurt his hand turning it . Very musty smell probably years of smoke as an inn Could make far more of the property than they do We were booked into the downstairs of The cottage but given an upstairs room in the Inn Receptionist was very pleasant but not very well informed not good for a first impression Charged double amount for dogs than any other hotel

    Convenient stop over on the outskirts of Fort William suitable for dogs

    There was no option to cool the rooms. The windows couldn’t be open because of midges, there was no fan or air conditioning, and to sleep there was no sheet option (like everywhere in UK, there is just a doonah or nothing).

    The rooms were beautiful, and the largest rooms we have stayed in so far (after 10 days of travel).

    needs an update in terms of decor. It was a bit odd that it looks like an old inn but all downstairs is being used for storage so there are no other facilities other than in your room. Also old photos of outside, nowhere to sit or get a drink or food.

    very clean and comfortable beds.
