Beautiful room with a view over the loch. Great bathroom with shower and claw-foot bath. This stay was a touch of luxury in so many ways. The hosts were fabulous. I was travelling with my mum and Trevor responded to questions fast and in detail, providing a ground floor room on request and info about taxis and eating places. A great place to know about and we will definitely return.

I can’t say enough good things about this lovely b and b. From our beautiful room facing the loch to the wonderful breakfasts it was our favorite stay on our trip! Convenient to and in walking distance of the main street shops made it a great location. There was so much to see and do that we could have stayed longer. Our bedroom plus sitting area was so comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast consists of cold buffet plus your choice of hot dishes. Quiet location even though it was on the main road. Host was very helpful with ideas for things to do. Highly recommend this lovely spot.

After a long travel day arriving at Glentower to a warm welcome from Graham was a highlight. An absolutely beautiful property, spacious and comfortable rooms, charming host, a view of the lough, easy walk to town. A perfect stay

Perfect location opposite the Loch & only a short walk to the high Street. From welcome to goodbye we could not fault our stay. The room was spacious, bathroom clean with a bath & hot water. WiFi worked well. Breakfast & the staff were pleasant & very efficient. car parking was also provided.

A great location, close to the town centre and within easy driving distance of many beautiful, scenic places. There was a great choice at breakfast and definitely plentiful enough to keep you going for a large part of the day. Gorgeous, local toiletries got your day off to a luxurious start.

This was the most enjoyable stay we have had in a long time. The accommodations were great as were the innkeepers. We couldn’t have been more impressed. The room was clean and comfortable. We were also introduced to The Highland Soap Company, which has the most bewitching smells. Thanks for the memories.

The room, the view and the breakfast were spectacular. Trevor and his wife were great hosts and gave us several ideas on where to go for food and attractions. Ft. Williams is a good base camp for exploring for 3-4 days.

With the last minute cancellation by our originally booked hotel we were worried that the one booked for us, the Glentower Observatory may not meet our hopes. It exceeded them, from the kind and hospitable owners to the beautiful room provided we were only too happy with our short stay of 2 days. The room is in immaculate condition, bed comfortable with full panoramic view of the Glen. The morning breakfast is broad and caters to every taste and who doesn't love a fry up? Also after a day attempting to scale Ben Nevis, there's nothing better than enjoying a beer on the porch overlooking the beautiful view and retiring to the warm suite. Thank you again for this experience, we won't forget it.

Had such a lovely stay with our family. It’s right on the front with incredible views over the loch (if you get a room at the front). Really incredible cooked breakfast and super friendly efficient staff. This was our 2nd time staying and will definitely be back.
