Lovely shots, Loch Feochan is a beautiful spot. Here is an aerial view of Loch Feochan, which I took in June 2008.

Thanks so much, Chris! I wouldn't miss the opportunity to get together with you.

Having been given the idea for this thread from Jock Scot, I started it in full anticipation of the interesting replies I thought would come in...perhaps everyone was sleeping at the wheel? I know Jock and I are not the only ones who want to hear about Forumeers' favourite hotels in Scotland.

So...a wee bump to this thread!

Actually, for this local, your recommendations are just as valuable to me! When we have visitors coming to the area, and for various reasons they are not going to stay with us, it is very helpful to have a list of recommenations to hand. We do not tour the area with hotels, resteraunts uppermost in our minds, it may sound obvious, but us locals really do not know about these things, we normally don't need too. Yes we have our favorite watering hole, but we will have little idea what its like to stay there, or, what the breakfast is like. Come on chaps, lets give it a go. I am surprised that "Ferintosh" has not yet had a mention!

I can recommend the Old Pines Hotel, which is situated between Spean Bridge and Inverour. A short walk from the Commando Monument on the main Fort William to Inverness A82 road, and from the shores of Loch Lochy. About twenty minutes drive from Fort William. Ann and I stayed there several times when she was still able to travel. All the rooms are on the ground floor and are en suite and the breakfasts and evening dinners are absolutely superb. I do not appear to have any photos of the hotel itself but here is a shot taken on the road out front of the hotel, which illustrates the view from the dining room, including Ben Nevis, still with patches of snow around the summit in July.
