St Andrews House was built in the 1880’s by renowned Scottish architect Alexander Ross in Fort William, the outdoor capital of the UK. Originally a rectory and choir school for the nearby St Andrews Church, it is one of Fort William’s oldest listed buildings.
The house with its unique Gothic architecture is a testament to fine craftsmanship with ecclesiastical carvings in stone turrets, stained glass windows, along with rich Canadian pitch pine beams and panelling. Its granite walls were built with stone brought from Abriachan Quarry near Inverness and transported by the Caledonian Canal.
Set within spacious, landscaped gardens and just a short walk from Fort William’s town centre, St Andrews House has been thoughtfully restored and converted into two luxurious homestays. The house enjoys sweeping views over Loch Linnhe, offering a stunning natural backdrop throughout your stay.
Each wing features luxurious expansive living and dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, and large en-suite bedrooms designed with modern comforts to make guests feel both welcome and at home. For added indulgence, guests have access to their own private recreational facilities that include a sauna and Jacuzzi, creating an ideal space for relaxing after a day well spent exploring the Scottish Highlands.
Whether you seek the spacious elegance of the former schoolhouse or the intimate charm of the original rectory, you'll find that a warm welcome and timeless Highland hospitality awaits you at St Andrews House.
