Wonderful B&B and Self-Catering Accommodation in Fort William
Nestled in a peaceful elevated position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Balcarres enjoys stunning views across Loch Linnhe to the Ardgour Hills. Despite its tranquil setting, we are just a 15-minute stroll along the lochside into Fort William town centre, where you’ll find a great selection of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants.
Our location is perfect for exploring everything the stunning Scottish Highlands have to offer, whether you’re here for spectacular scenery, walking and hiking, wildlife, sightseeing or adventure sports.
Travelling with your four-legged friends? Our self-catering apartments are dog-friendly. We’re sorry, but we can only accommodate dogs and no other pets.
We love sharing our knowledge of the area and are always happy to recommend our favourite walks, attractions, places to eat and things to see and do around Fort William.
We look forward to welcoming you to Balcarres and helping you make the most of your Highland adventure.
Relax and enjoy stunning views over Loch Linnhe and the Ardgour Hills. Watch the boats sail by, take in the spectacular Highland sunsets and keep your eyes open for our resident pod of porpoises – or perhaps a seal!
Balcarres offers 3 comfortable Guest Rooms – a King, a Double and a Twin – all with their own ensuite facilities.
For those looking for a little more independence, we also have 2 well-equipped self-catering apartments, each with its own private entrance.
Whether you choose Bed & Breakfast or self-catering, Balcarres provides a comfortable and welcoming base for exploring Fort William and the stunning Highlands, with the perfect place to relax and enjoy the views when you return.
Hospitality
With just 3 guest rooms, we are able to offer a friendly personal service for our guests, chatting over breakfast about your plans for the day. With our love of the area we can offer tips on where to go and where to eat
Walks we enjoy
In each of our rooms and our self catering apartments, we provide a folder of walks which we have personally undertaken, ranging from gentle 1 mile walks to the more adventurous 10.5 mile Ben Nevis, catering for all our guests.
Eating out
Whether you want to grab a quick bite or enjoy a delicious food experience, in Fort William or slightly further afield, we can offer suggestions of where to find great fish and chip takeaways, Scottish steaks or fresh seafood restaurants, ‘high tea’ or casual dining.
Setting you up for the day…
Start your day with breakfast overlooking Loch Linnhe
Enjoy a delicious breakfast in our bright and welcoming breakfast room, with stunning views across Loch Linnhe to the Ardgour Hills.
Start with our fresh fruit salad, cereals and yoghurt, followed by a freshly prepared cooked breakfast made to order. We use quality ingredients and aim to give you a hearty start to your day exploring the Highlands.
Whether you’re heading off to climb Ben Nevis, exploring the West Coast or simply enjoying a leisurely morning, breakfast at Balcarres is a great way to start the day.
Self Catering Welcome Hamper
To help you settle in and relax, we provide a complimentary welcome hamper in our self-catering apartments. It usually includes tea, coffee, sugar, milk, jams, butter, shortbread and croissants.
It means you can put the kettle on, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and have something to eat when you arrive, without having to rush straight out to the shops.
Vegetarian? Vegan? Gluten intolerant?
We are happy to cater for a range of dietary requirements, both in our Bed & Breakfast and in the welcome hamper provided in our self-catering apartments.
We can source a range of milk alternatives, gluten-free bread and vegetarian and vegan products. Just let us know about your requirements before you arrive, and we’ll do our best to make sure you have everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Incredible Views
In our elevated position overlooking Loch Linnhe, we face towards the west and the Ardgour hills. Looking up the Loch towards the north, at the start of the great glen the village of Caol can be seen
with a backdrop of hills including Beinn Bhan and Sron a Choire Ghairbh. To the south heading down Loch Linnhe, Stronchreggan and Stob Coire come into view, with Morvern behind
Unwind
With our peaceful location, comfortable rooms and guest lounge, or in our self catering apartments, Balcarres is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing holiday

Take in the views, watch the boats sailing past or just watching the birds on our feeders, you’ll have a stress free time at Balcarres
