“This hotel, a converted church manse dating back to 1850, is now a boutique experience in Fort William. I found the location ideal for exploring the town centre and the surrounding Highlands, particularly the views toward Loch Linnhe and Ben Nevis, which are gorgeous. The open kitchen concept in the dining area is a nice touch, giving a transparency to the award-winning dining experience.”
