TripAdvisor Review

"Full marks to Mr & Mrs Clark at the Gowan Brae, for going far beyond the call of duty, in order to make our stay, (my 10 year old daughter Florence and I), in Fort William, as rewarding as possible. This couple clearly have great empathy with their guests, along with pride in their home town and their establishment. Everything was clean and well maintained, with thoughtful touches, such as a selection of toiletries, bottle opener & glasses available. A good breakfast and warm welcome. If only more B&B's were like this!"


An extensive breakfast menu including vegetarian options is on offer and particular attention is paid to the quality and presentation of food served in our antique themed dining room.

Popular on the Breakfast Menu in  is our own recipe of Smoked Fish Cake served with Poached Egg and Grilled Tomato and Breakfast Cranachan served with a wee dram.
