“Nestled in the historic Inverlochy Castle grounds, The Factor'S Inn & Factor'S Cottage strikes me as a restful base for exploring the Highlands. What appeals most is the privacy of the individually let rooms, some of which are in a separate cottage, which creates a sense of seclusion that many larger hotels lack. Its pet-friendly approach and proximity to both Ben Nevis and Fort William make it a practical choice for outdoor enthusiasts and their companions.”

the room was spacious. it had a nice seating area. the bed was very comfortable. the room had plenty of light with lots of windows.
the decor and fittings seemed tired. they needed refurbishment, for example, the bath plug mechanism was really stiff. wallpaper was starting to curl at the corners in places.
