Fern Villa Guest House

2nd November 2020:

Another very enjoyable stay at Fern Villa. As a regular guest I can assure other travellers that you'll have a very good nights sleep here. David and Catherine are very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is excellent and the house and rooms are spotlessly clean. It is currently very reassuring to see how careful they have been to make the house COVID secure. Highly recommended!

Would Recommend: Yes

A wonderful welcome awaits you on your arrival. Fantastic hospitality shown by the hosts. Nothing is to much trouble for Catherine and David. The rooms are warm and comfortable, and the breakfast is superb. We always plan our breaks around availability at Fern Villa. One visit is never enough.

The scenery around Ballachulish and Glencoe is wonderful with plenty of walks and activities.Whether your into watersports, climbing or just come and enjoy the local cuisine you'll take home some great memories of your visit.

Wonderful stay. Catherine and David were very friendly and helpful . They were very reassuring and we felt very safe with the measures they had implemented for staying under Covid 19 measures. The rooms and dining room were clinically clean, hand sanitizer was on every floor and in the entrance porch. The Bed was very comfy, enabling us to have good sleeps and to feel refreshed in the morning. The system for having breakfast ensured no close contact with others and everything had been well thought out. Talking of breakfast, it was superb, with locally sourced fresh ingredients, a great choice and David’s porridge is a must. To sum up, we have no hesitation in highly recommending this B and B and will definitely be back if and when we can.

Glencoe, the whole area is a spectacular feast for the eyes, with loch side , Glen and mountain walks for all abilities. Nearest Town is Ft William, about 12 miles away, with Britain’s highest Mountain, Ben Nevis and the spectacular west highland train journey to Mallaig, by steam in the summer and autumn months, crossing the famous Glen Finnan viaduct, as in Harry Potter. 36 miles down the coast is Oban, the gateway to the Isles, with ferry services to Mull and the inner Hebrides and day boat trips.

I have been staying at Fern Villa since 2013 and I can't find any reasons not to. Clean and fresh, maybe the best breakfast I have ever had anywhere in UK, reasonably priced, the rooms have been updated as well in this time. Friendly and knowledgeable hosts, always happy to help, always a pleasure to come back.

The Quarry and the woods behind Fern Villa for a short walk, cruises on Loch Leven, Kinlochleven for ice climbing and Laroch for a fine meal and Clachaig Inn for live music (when it will be allowed again) and a nice dram of whisky (plenty of choices for everyone). And this is just the beginning...

Would Recommend: Yes

13th September 2020:

Obviously difficult times but we couldn’t have asked for more, thank you

The Holly Tree at Kentallen is a must for seafood. The Clachaig Boot Bar is basic but the food is really good and best value for money.

David was very friendly and helpful. Gave us some good local knowledge. Very accommodating, used the facilities at the B&B in the evening to eat our takeaway meal's as visited during codvid and did not use any restaurants. Breakfast was excellent.

Shops, chippy and pub close by. Ideal for touring this part of Scotland.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fern Villa. Room 2 was spacious with excellent quality furniture in the room and a really comfortable bed. Facilities was a 3 as the tv is too small and there was no safe or fridge in the room. The view over the park to the mountains beyond was lovely to see every day. Breakfasts were superb, perfectly cooked and David and Catherine were so attentive and always able to look after us. A Great value B&B

We returned once again to stay @ Fern Villa, our first choice for a holiday on the first week Scotland opened Guest Houses for business again. Covid Government guidelines were followed as soon as we went inside and at all times throughout our stay. Lots of hand Sanitisers around and Footwear boxes in place. We felt safe as houses right from the word go. We were left to our own devices in our room and no one other than us two entered the room throughout our stay. Any requests during our stay, ie kettle, milk etc were provided following social distancing at all times. As always the breakfast was delicious. It was served in two sittings with social distancing and serving rules in place. I am Gluten Intolerant and my dietary needs were able to be followed without any worries whatsoever. We were able to use the lounge as offered and our four night stay was very calm, stress free, relaxed and safe. We were assured that all the rooms and in fact the whole house had been sanitised before hand and that this would be ongoing at all times. We enjoyed our break very much and would highly recommend it to anyone.

This area, Ballachulish, is well known for its scenery, walking and ice climbing etc and is a good base for touring and sightseeing. It is also a photographers paradise whether for landscape or for wildlife and many interesting places are within easy reach. There is a local supermarket and a takeaway where masks MUST be worn! or you simply won't get in.

Lovely period house beautifully restored. Loved sitting in the lounge with the open fire after coming in from eating in the evening. Our bedroom was spotlessly clean and well appointed and the bed very comfortable. Having the use of a drying room for our hill gear was a real bonus. The breakfast mens had a wide range of good quality food to choose from and it was all very well cookd and presented. I would highly recommend the Bircher Muesli. My only suggestion would be to provide a range of tea as I find the breakfast teas too weak for my taste. David was a perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back!

The Clachaig Inn, Ballachuilish Hotel and Onich Hotel all serve good food with vegetarian and vegan options. Booking is recommnended for the hotels. The Ice Factor at Kinlochleven is a great facility for indoor ice climbing, sport climbing and bouldering and has a good cafe. For any other information, the local tourist information centre is just down the road near the Coop in Ballachuilish.

This was the most welcoming of B&Bs in the most beautiful of locations. Wonderful hosts providing lots of information. The breakfast was the best in all of our Scotland trip, 3 choices of menus. Extremely nice. Only reason I said facilities were good is that we had a small room which he said was fine. We filled it with luggage and still managed fine. Sleeping was wonderful! Beautiful part of the world.

Had a wonderful meal recommended by the host just a short walk from their home. Selection was great and preparation was superb.

Fern Villa - Ballachulish (8/10) Located in the centre if the tiny village of Ballachulish, which is on the loch side, and just 200m from a great restaurant and 400m from a large Co-op to buy all of your food, drink and other necessities. Free parking right opposite the B&B. This is a well used and established property and the owners David & Katherine are very knowledgeable and kind and couldn't be more helpful with tips and information on where to go and how to get there. Rooms (7/10) Size : Small but perfectly adequate if you are not spending much time in them. In fact almost everything had been thought of. There's a small wardrobe and a coffee table with tea & coffee. Collapsible suitcase stands are a thoughtful touch and the TV is tiny but fine for listening to the news etc. Note there is no fridge or safe box. Everything seemed spotlessly clean. Bed (7/10): The twin beds of a reasonable size and the mattresses were firm-soft and we slept very well on them. AC / Heating (7/10): No AC but the heated radiators worked well (and heated towel rack) and clothes dried quickly on them as well as heating the room well. The window opened for fresh air. Bathroom (7/10) : looks like new grouting and it's very clean. The shower is over the bath but both pressure and water temperature were enough for a good shower though not outstanding. Water is constantly heated on delivery so will never run out! Towels are soft and more than sufficient in size and quantity. There is an impressive selection of just about everything you may need in the bathroom, with 7 types of liquid soaps / creams and even cotton buds and balls. Nice! Location (8/10) : On a beautiful loch just 1-2 kms from the town of Glencoe and a quick & easy drive to either Fort William or Oban. See description of the property above. Breakfast 9/10 : Excellent. They're are 7 Cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurt and a great selection of cooked breakfasts delivered on piping hot plates (yay)! The locally cured bacon was superb as were the free range eggs. As always I don't drink hotel coffee shop can't comment on it

The pub 100m away has a Michelin starred chef but almost pub prices. We ate there both nights of our stay and every one of the 4 mains and desserts we tried were absolutely excellent. David & Katherine know the one

19th September 2019:

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at Fern Villa. The room was comfortable, the staff were very helpful, and the breakfasts were delicious. We were able to get local tips (eating, sights, walks, etc.) at the house from books, the hosts, and other guests. Communication with our hosts, before and during our stay, was great. It was really nice to have a private bathroom connected to our room. The location was perfect for our plans: we wanted a nice place to stay that was close to some of the hikes around Glencoe. If we make it back to the Scottish highlands, we would definitely stay here again!

We had dinner one night at Quarries Kitchen--we got the fish n chips and thought the portions were good for the price. The local supermarket had great hours (I think they were open till about 10pm) and a good selection. Tons of walks/hikes off the A82 at and around the Three Sisters viewpoint. We walked to the old quarry and actually really enjoyed learning about it and the history of the village.

My wife and I spent a thoroughly enjoyable three days staying at Fern Villa at the end of August 2019. The welcome was warm (helped by a shared interest in photography), the room was spotless and the breakfasts were excellent. The location is quiet, which suited us perfectly, yet is within easy striking distance of Glen Coe, Loch Leven, Fort William and the Ardnamurchan peninsula. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

The local pub is superb, but - as we discovered- the attached fish and chip shop only opens at the weekend. Glen Coe is a must, and we spent a very happy day hiking in the hills. The Ardnamurchan peninsula is only a short ferry ride away too, and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting it. Allow extra time for the very slow single track roads, however.

Clean, warm, homely BnB close to Glen coe, fort William and Ben Nevis. I can not comment on transport links but would recommend hiring a car to get around. The BnB was lovely, my room was a very clean and spacious ensuite. The breakfast was delicious with the host providing a good choice of cooked breakfast options every morning. The host was a very welcoming gentleman.

I would highly recommend staying at Fern Villa Guest House. Fort William's and Ben Nevis are 20 mins away by car. I did not get a chance to eat at the local restaurant due to my hectic schedule, however this is only a short walk from the Guest House. Restaurant last orders are at 9-9:30pm.

David really enjoys his work. It i more than just a job for him. He is passionate about providing a quality experience and delicious food for his guests. He went above and beyond for us on a daily basis. He even did a little laundry project for us after a coat had been involved in a mountain tumble! He was absolutely aces and I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough!

Great base for exploring the Fort William and Glencoe area! If you are unsure of what to do, ask David and he will steer you in the best direction!

Ballachulish is a very small village close to Fort William and the breathtaking Glencoe area. David was a diligent, interesting host despite having been injured in a car accident a week earlier.

Fern Villa was perfect for a one-night stay on our way to Skye, though we met others there who were staying multiple nights and hiking, and very much enjoyed their stay, too. We ended up with the only room available for a 1-night stay, the ground floor small double. Though very small, it was well fitted with amenities, and we slept well. Our breakfast was very good, even with gf options my husband needed. Owners were very nice, friendly. Great parking across the street in a nice lot.

On the advice of Fern Villa, we called a few days early to reserve dinner at the Laroch Restaurant, a very nice place a block away. We appreciated this advance information.

Our hosts were brilliant, helpful, kind and cooked amazing breakfasts. Our bedroom was lovely and very comfortable Their knowledge of the area was so helpful and their recommendations of where to eat was invaluable.

There is so much to see when using Fern Villa as a base, it's not far from Glen Coe or from Fort William. We visited Inverarey Castle....well worth a visit. Regarding evening meals, the pub a short distance from Fern Villa serves absolutely gorgeous meals, but booking your table is essential as it is so popular.

5th July 2019:

Fern Villa is a lovely guest house. David and Catherine are excellent hosts. They are friendly and informative and very helpful. I had a very early start on my first day there and David was happy to rise early to have breakfast ready almost an hour before normal breakfast time. I really appreciated that. The bedroom was very comfy and the guest living room was well stocked with books of all types. They provide a drying room for wet hiking gear which was useful. And the breakfast was superb. I tried a lot of the options over my three days and enjoyed it all. I would very happily stay here again.

The slate quarry is worth a look. Very interesting history of a local industry that lasted 300 years. The Lochaber Inn needs to be booked for the restaurant but if there is a seat available in the bar you can have a meal there without a booking.

We absolutely loved staying at Fern Villa, it was by far our favorite of all the spots we stayed whilst in Scotland. David and Catherine were incredibly sweet and caring, and the epitome of hosts. The room was clean and thoughtfully decorated, with a gorgeous view of the village, loch, and mountains. Breakfast was the perfect way to start off each morning. David had great recommendations for hikes and sights to see, and took the time to tell us about the village and answer any questions that we had. It truly felt like staying in a home and was so enjoyable. Would return without a doubt.

Ask David for walks/hikes around the area. The Ballachulish Peninsula is amazing, especially with the view of the islands in the loch. We enjoyed the walk through the quarry and into the woods. The Chippery was hit, as we were there when it was open!

The owners were very accommodating and helpful. They really want to make your stay enjoyable. We stayed in 2 rooms. The front room was great - good view. The back room was a little smaller but had everything you needed. We would stay there again.

It's considered part of the Glencoe area. Easy access to all the hiking destinations. The hike to Hidden Valley (3 Sisters area) was rugged but very doable.

Catherine and David are superb hosts! They are very welcoming and willing to inform you about the area. The house is very very well kept and spotlessly clean with excellent facilities. The breakfasts are always A++ with good choices and David is a champion at a "porridge contest". Don't miss it!

The village has only one restaurant, The Laroch, which is excellent with very reasonable prices. There is also the Visitor Center which has a nice café and gift shop but limited hours. Other than that there is a small Co-Op grocery but no other food outlet accessible without a car. Be sure to visit the slate quarry in the village. There are beautiful walking paths in nearby Glencoe which we imensly enjoyed (Don't miss the "kissing spot" on the trail!)

Catherine & Dave are great hosts who provide a super experience at a very competitive price. Our room was small..but the other rooms are larger but were already booked!. The breakfast was superb!. Free parking across the road was a bonus and the house is in a quiet spot in the village. A guest lounge is also provided. Fully recommended...we shall be back! They also provided 'wall to wall' sunshine!!

Brilliant stopping-off point on our way to the North West Highlands.

Wonderfully friendly and welcoming hosts, the room we had was cosy and comfortable and breakfast was exceptional! David and Catherine were helpful with tips on where to go and things to see which was greatly appreciated, and they went above and beyond by helping us dry out our tent from the previous night’s camping. Highly recommend staying here!

Try out Quarrier’s Fish & Chip shop about 150 metres down the road for amazing fish, chips and curry sauce! Plan ahead to see if you can catch a Shinty match on the green opposite the guest house.

Fern Villa Guest House was beautiful and well equipped, a great place to explore the surrounding areas or stopover during a road trip around the Scottish countryside. Breakfast was delicious too!

The walk down to the loch is quite lovely and well worth the relaxing, short stroll.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Catherine and David! They are both a fount of knowledge about the area....trails, sites, and restaurants. The guest house which is beautiful and well maintained, is a short drive to the scenic wonder of Glen Coe. It is also a short walk to a Chip Shop, and the fancier Laroch Restaurant. Don't miss the short trail you can find that goes from the back of the neighborhood, through old growth trees and long abandoned homesteads. It ends with an epic view of Loch Leven. Ask David. He knows.

Crafts and Things for lunch or shopping. They have touristy things for sale, and if you look to the right there is a section with some really nice woolen goods. Chip Shop for a quick meal (get the fish and chips, not the pizza). The Laroch for sit-down, higher end dining. The Braised Beef was fantastic, so tender with a rich gravy. Hiking/Walking in The Glen can be tough and at times a bit treacherous...bring some well-made hiking shoes.

Fern Villa is a very friendly, homely guesthouse. David and Catherine are great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. We stayed in a recently refurbished room, that was of a high standard and extremely comfortable. A lovely open fire greeted us in the lounge that was very welcome after a day of walking in early March.

We had a great meal at The Laroch restaurant, handily located in Ballachulish village.

The best place to stay in Glencoe. Our stay was perfect as usual, the comfy beds, the marvelous breakfast, David and Catherine's warm welcome. We didn't want to go back home!

The best restaurants (at a very reasonable price) around : Clachaig Inn (Glencoe) Bothy Bar (Kinlochleven) What to do: climb up the Pap. The best views are up there. The Lochan trails are very nice as well as is the Glen Etive trail (way easier than the Pap).

Would Recommend: Yes
