Lime Tree Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Fort William

The Lime Tree Hotel offers 14 rooms including superior doubles with Loch Linnhe views and self-catering apartments with two bedrooms. Several rooms have been recently renovated with new soundproof windows, USB charging ports, and modern bathrooms that include both a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower. Pet-friendly ground-floor rooms provide direct access to grassed areas for dogs, and family apartments include a wood burning stove in the living room.

The Silly Goose restaurant operates within the hotel and has received multiple guest ratings of 10/10 for its food. Meals are cooked in an open kitchen where guests can see their food being prepared, and the menu changes seasonally using locally sourced ingredients. Dinner and breakfast are both served in the restaurant, with breakfast offering freshly cooked hot dishes alongside a continental selection.

The hotel operates an on-site art gallery that hosts noteworthy exhibitions throughout the year. Two comfortable lounges are available for guests, one with an open log fire and views across Loch Linnhe. Guests can also relax on the sun terrace or use the picnic area in the garden for after-dinner drinks.

The hotel sits at the southern end of Fort William High Street, a five-minute walk from the town center and Fort William Rail Station. Ben Nevis is less than 2 miles away and reachable in just over 20 minutes by car, while Glenfinnan Viaduct is a 25-minute drive. The Nevis Range mountain bike track, site of world championship events, is also within easy driving distance.

The hotel offers pet-friendly rooms on the ground floor with direct access to outdoor grass areas for dogs. Family accommodations include spacious two-bedroom apartments and the Manse Apartment with a wood burning stove and space for up to three children. Board games and puzzles are available for younger guests to use in the lounges.
