Our guest house offers comfortable rooms in a modern contemporary way. We make an ideal base from which to explore the Western Highlands. One night is not enough to enjoy the area and we recommend you have your own transport to get the most from your stay with us as public transport is limited and the settlement of Torlundy has no local facilities, everything is in or near Fort William some 2 to 3 miles away.
We want to assure guests that we are taking significant extra steps to reduce risk in relation to COVID-19 and have been accredited with the "Good to Go" standard recognised throughout the UK with regards to our procedures.
We offer a variety of accommodation including king bedded double and twin rooms, and aim to provide relaxed surroundings, comfortably furnished to a high standard. All our rooms are ensuite and have their own TV and tea and coffee making facilities along with access to High Speed WiFi
Torlundy House is also our home and we are proud to offer a service that is different from hotels, however this does mean that our check in and check out times may be a little different.Our normal check in time is from 4pm to 7pm (16.00hrs to 19.00hrs). Due to the extra protocols being carried out in respect of Housekeeping to ensure we mitigate the risk of COVID as much as we can, we are unable to offer early or late Check in. We also request that guests checking out and guests stopping over leave the house by 10am (10.00hrs) and do not return before 4pm (16.00hrs) to allow us to complete our cleaning protocols whilst practicing safe distancing. This is for your safety as well as ours and we thank guests for their co-operation.
As there is so much to do and see in the area we recommend a stay of 2 or more nights, and from May to September inclusive we normally operate a minimum 2 night stay policy as required by the majority of our guests, as single night availabilty occurs it will show when you check to see if we have a room available. If you don't see what you want when you want it you can always telephone us or send us an email.
We have a comfortable guest lounge for you to relax in and reflect on your days activity as well as planning your next day, to which end we provide a wealth of information and advice to help you get the most from your stay.
A Full Scottish Breakfast is included in our room tariff, using where possible local or Scottish produce and we have been awarded "Taste our Best" status, served in our dining room with fantastic views of Ben Nevis, to set you up for your day of exploring.
Currently we operate a night before order system for breakfasts to reduce as much waste as possible as at this time we cannot retain any food not consumed to eliminate it as a source of coronavirus transmission. This also allows us to offer the freshest cooked breakfast we can, cooked to your order and your selected time.
The menu includes: Cereals, porridge, fresh fruits, juices, yoghurt, bread, toast, preserves, tea and coffee as standard items then you can select from the following for your cooked breakfast: Bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, tomato, baked beans and eggs.
We also offer some daily extra items such as pastries.
Where possible pre-packed / wrapped items are offered.
Please tell us when you book if you have any special dietary needs (gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, lactose free) in order that we can obtain a few extra items for you.
The area offers a wealth of things to do whatever the weather including walking, climbing, fishing, cycling, mountain biking, touring by car, horse riding. Adrenalin filled activities are available in the area (ask us for details if this is your thing). Winter sports of skiing and ice climbing are also available. In fact there are more things to do and see than you "shake a stick at". For those wanting to surmount the UK's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, you can set off to tackle the North Face Route right from our front door, or take a short drive to the traditional "tourist route".
At the end of your day Fort William offers a good selection of places to eat out with menus ranging from typically Scottish to oriental. Seafood and salmon are of course local specialities, and to this end we have a list of local eatieries and menus to suit all tastes and pockets available with some places offering our guests a discount.
