Things to See and Do
Highland Soap Company
Located across Scotland, from the Highlands to St Andrew’s retail stores of the Highland Soap Company offer a shopping experience like no other – a true delight for the senses.
Their main visitor centre is located directly across from Inverlochy Villas and is well worth a visit - not to mention their excellent Larder Café restaurant, open every day.
Highland Cinema
A state of the art independent cinema and café bar in Fort William. Great movies, music, food and drink!
Ben Nevis
Being the closest Bed and Breakfast to the climber’s path on Ben Nevis, 100m from us, this is an ideal base camp for climbers both in summer and winter. We offer free flask fills for hikes up Ben Nevis, pictured right.
Glen Nevis
From the Gaelic Gleann Nibheis, this is a beautiful and popular glen in Fort William. If you enjoy a long walk along the riverside, walks through the forest, longer walks out to the stunning Steall Falls, then this is a must visit destination.

Inverlochy Castle
Just a short walk away from Inverlochy Villas are the ruins of Old Inverlochy Castle as pictured here. Reach the castle by a lovely walk from here down the river bank where you can watch the rabbits and chinchillas play or the anglers catching salmon in the River Lochy.
Visits to the nearby award-winning local distillery can be arranged.
Aonach Mor / The Nevis Range
If you prefer a cable car ride to the summit of Aonach Mor rather than climbing a mountain, the Nevis range is 4 miles away. There is also a Walk/ Cycle path 100 metres from our front door.
Jacobite Steam Train
The famous Jacobite Steam Train, passes by in front of the house about 200 metres away, on its beautiful journey following the Road to the Isles.
A day out to Mallaig along the Road to the Isles, passing through Glenfinnan, Lochailort, Morar, Arisaig and onto Mallaig is well worth the trip, either by car or rail.
