I would certainly recommend Farr Cottage Lodge. If you demand subservient maids and dull waiters to provide soulless duties 24/7, in a fully equipped but zero personality hotel, then Farr Cottage Lodge is not for you. As some of the reviewers no doubt discovered, this place is packed full of personality, and that includes the owners and staff! Contrary to... More

9 of us stayed here for one night a week ago. It's very basic. Rooms are small and cramped with few electrical sockets for charging items. One shower was broken which left 2 working and with a bit of juggling around we managed. The bedding was clean as was the hostel in general, fine for one night but certainly don't... More

Don't get me wrong this place is not that bad,as hostels go its pretty average and the double ensuite room that we had was clean and equipped with the basics that you would expect,the bathroom was tiny but functional and as we only stayed there 1 night I cannot comment on the rest of the property as we did not...

This hostel is actually not in Fort William, but about 3,5 miles from it, in Corpach. Which is ok, if take notice of that while booking. I didn´t. But it didn´t matter, I just got additional walk but I had a very enjoyable stay there. The staff is ok, if not very friendly then professional at least. The room was... More

I certainly would not recommend this hostel. I came to the hostel with a group of friends for a walking weekend. 2 people were unable to make the trip, 6 days notice of this was given but we were still fully charged for their stay while the hostel re-sold one of the beds. There was no one on reception in... More

Farr Cottage itself was OK. Very worn but clean and warm. However, the welcome we received from the owner / manager was non existent. He was rude and narkey. His assistant (possibly his daughter) was also rude and unhelpful. We would never return to Farr Cottage and would advise everyone to give it a wide birth. 4 Peak Challenge Gang,... More

Where do I start?? Kirsty and her Father who run this Hostel, have to be two of the most ignorant, rude and downright nasty hosts I have ever come across. On arrival to this dated and fairly run down hostel, we were told outright things we were not allowed to do. When we asked questions the said owners pretty much... More

The location is lovely, the rooms were clean but very small, but enough to put your head down after a very very long day.... More

After a long walk up Ben Nevis, our team of 11 arrived at Farr Cottage to a chilly reception and what I can only describe as a lecture about the rules of the house. From then on, we were treated with disdain and the level of service was atrocious. We were scowled at, talked down to, ignored and insulted. The... More
