Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Alltonside Guest House provides clean and cosy rooms, with some offering stunning views. Guests appreciate the convenience of on-site parking and the provision of tea and coffee in the rooms, along with instant porridge. While the guest house enjoys a lakeside location, it's worth noting that the centre of Fort William is either a 20-minute walk or a short taxi ride away, which some guests have found a little inconvenient without a car.

mediocre STAY

small bathroom humidity stench

the host WAS friendly.

The bathroom WAS very small , and the provided toiletries were almost empty. there WAS an overpowering humidity stench upon entering the room. The root CAUSE was located on the ceiling corner. i HAD to keep the window open for a long time.
