Location specifics

It is 24 km from Fort William and 70 km from Oban. Nearby landmarks include the Statue of Donald Cameron (5 km), Old End of West Highland Way (4 km), Nevis Range Mountain Experience (2 km), Neptune's Staircase (3 km), Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve (3 km), and Tor Castle (2 km).

Essential services

Room-only accommodation with no public areas is provided. Guests are required to check in at the reception at Inverlochy Castle, where directions to the Factors Cottage and Inn will be provided. WiFi is available in all areas.

“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.”

Acceptable stay, but some issues noted

confusing check-in refurbishment needed
The room was a good size, and the bed was very comfortable.
The check-in process was really confusing. I had to check in at the castle up the road. They told me I was in the cottage, but it did not have my room number. I went back to the castle, and they finally told me the room was above the pub. The place needs some love.
