"This was our second stay at Torlundy House, having been there 3 years ago. We enjoyed our stay then and, during this visit, found the excellent standards have been maintained. The room and bathroom were tastefully furnished and decorated. Everything you would want was provided (and more!) - bottled water, shortbread, sweets, toiletries etc. The breakast was excellent. This year, light evening meals were available too. We dined here each evening and really enjoyed the food, served with a perfectly cooked selection of vegetables and potatoes. If anything, the portions were too big, but we did our best to finish everything! The food would put most restaurants to shame.

As this is 2020 and with the ongoing Covid pandemic, it was reassuring to see the measures that Michael and Maxean have implemented to minimise risk.
I'm not normally someone who recommends things to others, as everyone has different tastes and likes, but I would wholeheartedly recommend Torlundy House. We can't wait to return."

Tip:
"Michael is an excellent source of information on the Fort William area - walks, places to eat and visit etc."

That is fantastic. We are so pleased you enjoyed your second stay with us. Sometimes the second stay does not meet the standards of the first stay, especially when you have a few years between so it is great to know we maintained standards and added value as well. It was great that you dined with us each evening, and enjoyed the food. Everyone's appetites are different, but I think we might reduce the portion sizes a little. Our main aim is to provide honest wholesome and fresh food. Thank you also for mentioning the Covid protocols we have in place. We just want to make people feel comfortable and safe by reducing the risk as far as we can. So until another year then. Thank you again for writing about your stay.

"From start to finish it is the perfect B&B; from the digital registration form, excellent COVID-19 safety protocols, spotless accommodation, beautiful location, and wonderfully thought out, personalised breakfast through to Michael’s informative and friendly hosting. I really felt genuinely welcomed at Torlundy and had a wonderful stay. Michael even let me leave my mountain bike in the garage overnight. I subsequently stayed at a very famous venue after leaving Torlundy (at nearly twice the price) and can safely say Michael that Torlundy is much better. Marks out of 10 for Torlundy? 10 out of 10. Keep up the good work."

Many thanks for writing about your stay and I am pleased that everything about it was good for you apart from your chosen location. I am sorry I can do little about the location, but am a little surprised that you marked it so low as you were here to go mountain biking and we are as close as you can get to pursue that sport in the locations you wanted to go biking! That said we cannot pick the house up and move it, and you chose us as we were close to where you wanted to be. There is nowhere closer or better situated for what you came to the area to do so your location mark is somewhat of a mystery to us.

"Located down a lane with approx 6-8 other
properties away from the main road,quiet and peaceful but within 5-8 mins by car from Fort William. Michael and Maxeane were perfect hosts with nothing being too much trouble. Michael also provided a lot of useful local information. Our room was spotlessly clean and was maintained to a high standard as was the rest of the property. Combined with an excellent breakfast with lots of choice it made our stay very enjoyable. Towels were replaced on a daily basis, if required in addition to tea, coffee, biscuits etc. Would definitely come back."

Tip:
"A trip to Mallaig is worth a visit on the steam train (used in the Harry Potter films). The fish restaurant, on the bank of Loch Linnhe in Fort william was also excellent (though pre-booking essential). The village of Glencoe has historical background.The commando memorial at Spean Bridge about 20 mins away by car is also a must, brilliant views of the lochs and Ben Nevis."

Thant is wonderful, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and what we offer to our guests. It is great that you explored the area and saw some of what we have to offer, because that leaves you with plenty more to see when you can come back again. Thank you for writing about your stay with us and very best wishes to you.
