Corriegour Lodge Hotel, Fort William

Advantages: quiet & peaceful, beautiful scenery, close to Ben Nevis, a perfect lifestyle
Disadvantages: A long way for just a weekend

...I first visited Fort William when I was barely 4 years old. Hardly remembering anything about it, my parents took me back when I was 14 to tour the Highlands and the Hebrides. We stayed a lot longer than planned in Fort William and since then I have been back there every year either with my family or my friends. Perfect for camping, with plenty of sites not far away, and perfect for those who wish to live the Highland Hotel lifestyle in the glamourous hotels, and bed & breakfasts. Also a perfect setting for renting self-catering accommodation in the area. As you walk down High Street, you will notice that this is the second largest town of the Highlands, next to Inverness. Plenty of shops at very affordable prices, plenty of gift shops, and plenty of pubs along the street... I'd sincerely recommend either the Grand hotel at the corner... Read review

...are staying, or at your hotel or youth hostel. This then brings me on to accommodation. We have always stayed in Glen Nevis Holiday Cottages, (a couple of miles outside Fort William, right by Ben Nevis) which has recently expanded and added 6 luxury lodges. It is very expensive, especially in high season, but the quality is fabulous, the staff are really really friendly and will do all they can to help you. The lodges are spread out nicely, and each has a lovely view. Glen Nevis Holiday Cottages also have static caravans, which are cheaper and so useful if you are on a budget, and have a few fields for campers as well. Glen Nevis itself is beautful, you can go for a walk along the river and right into the Glen (where parts of Braveheart were filmed). But if this type of self-catering holiday is not for you, there are many many hotels and B... Read review

...and Bryanston Court, Marble Arch. There are a number of hotels in Scotland in locations such as Dumfries, Edinburgh, Fort William, Glasgow, Kinross, Pilochry and the hallowed home of golf at St. Andrews. Best Western hotels in Wales are to be found at places such as Bangor, Lampeter, Llandudno, Llangollen, Newport and Swansea. Many of the best known establishments of this chain are located in Southern England and I have stayed at several of them. I thoroughly enjoyed a 3 day/ 2 night holiday in Exeter, the country town of Devon, and got a good accommodation, breakfast and dinner package for just over Stg50 pounds per person, per day, at the elegantly furnished Buckerell Lodge, a small country-style hotel, about a mile or so from the city centre. Meals in the Raffles Restaurant – an award winning eatery – were most enjoyable and I... Read review
