We enjoyed our stay, and the rooms are very nice and located in the Inn with a bar below it which is convenient for refreshing drinks after the journey. Would highly recommend staying at the Factors Inn.
Loved this place! Bed was comfortable, staff when checking in was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and nice, would definitely stay here again!
When I booked to stay here I didn't know what I was actually booking since I only needed a room for one night and this was the only option close to the Fort William train station that was left. WOW! I was blown away by it!!! The rooms were amazing! The dinning area and dinner was wonderful. I've already decided that when it comes time for my honeymoon this will be place I want it at.
The room was huge. It is an older room so the floors creak, which I did hear my neighbors walking around. There was a bar and restaurant downstairs which I decided not to eat at. Looked like it wasn’t very busy, so I drove into fort William which was about 15 minutes away and had more options for food. You have to check in at the castle down the road, staff was friendly. Bathroom had some gunk on the sink when I came in. It wiped right up. Overall great place and would stay again.
Quiet area with easy access to town by car. Room was a good size and in quite good condition. Instructions to find the room were vague as it was in a different building to where we had to register -a short drive in fact.
Absolutely beautiful cottage located about a 10 minute drive from the main area of Ft. Williams. The inn is also on the premise of a beautiful manor with gorgeous gardens and pathways that we walked. There is a bar and restaurant on site but we venture out to one of the local restaurants that had a live local band playing. The cottage has such charm. I would highly recommend staying here if you want to have a quiet, peaceful getaway from the main downtown area.
Lovely, elegant alternative to staying in the castle. The pub on the first floor was perfect- food and drink excellent and wait staff catered to our every need!
Rooms were very nice and comfortable. Check in at the castle was easy and quick. However, the real highlight of The Factors is to have dinner downstairs. One of the best meals we had in our entire time in Scotland. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Our room was well decorated and spacious. It was very quiet at the Inn. We felt like we were the only people staying at the Inn. Factors Inn is very close to Fort William where we had dinner and did some souvenir shopping.
Initial problem with check in very happily resolved. We stayed in room 6 and were extremely happy with the spacious room and facilities, very, very comfortable and relaxing. Especially as we had our dog - bed and feed bowls provided. Eating in the Factors Inn below was an added treat, and we eould cerrsinly recommend. You should be aware of where to pick key up, and no breakfast where you stay, and rooms upstairs, but dont be put off as it is quite a gem in its own right.

Factors is a two star operation
Ok, shower was terrible, little gnats in bathroom, sofa cushions in sitting area need to be replaced. Interlochy Castle tries to run it remotely, and basically it does not work. Tha staff at the castle and those we dealt at Factors for dinner were top notch.
It was what we were expecting which was good. It was simple and clean/tidy. Decor was dated but we did expect this being rated a 3 star anyway. Nice extra of 2 dogs bowls and mat in the room ready for our small dog. Just a shame that dogs aren't allowed in the main hotel to have breakfast so we chose to not have breakfast there, otherwise we would have.
Enjoyed our stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Close to downtown Fort William. The Glen Nevis Restaurant close to our hotel was a great dining experience.
Would stay there again
Super cute space - loved that it was on the castle grounds (fun to explore and go on a nice long walk). Room was huge. Only downside was the room was quite damp (wet items didn't dry in 3 days with the heat on) and there was no fridge - which is tricky since you're sort of out in the middle of no where with not a lot of food options around, and a lot of hiking where you want snacks.
