What a pleasant surprise and such a unique experience. Staying on the boat was the coolest accommodations of our Scotland.

It was a unique experience. Steps away from the train with stunning views and the daily breakfast was amazing we really enjoyed the young man Coll who was our host during our stay.

Very impressive experience

Staying on the ship was a very special experience, the facilities were better than expected, cosy and clean, I especially liked the fireplace which kept me warm. The captain was young and capable, warm and happy and very hardworking, served a great breakfast and was just all-round great.

Superb.

The unique experience of staying in the boat cannot be matched by anywhere else in Fort William. Also the hosts were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for me. The view from my room (Glen coe room) was stunning every morning. Also the breakfast was delicious. The boat was also very cosy and warm. Oh and the onboard dog was super friendly. I will 100% be staying onboard again.
