About this property

Luxurious Highland retreat in central Fort William

My stylish, ground-floor apartment with an off-street parking space is located in a secluded side street with no through traffic, only 5 minutes’ walk from Fort William High Street. It is in an elevated position above the south-west end of the High Street, overlooking Loch Linnhe and the hills beyond.

It’s ideal as a base for everything from romantic getaways to outdoor exploits. It is immaculately and luxuriously decorated throughout in a modern, understated style with a subtle Scottish theme.

Bedroom:
The bedroom sleeps 2 and is sumptuously appointed around a superking bed. The bed can also be split into two singles, just let me know which you would prefer when you book. The view from the bedroom window looks across to Loch Linnhe. There is also a 22" HD TV with Freesat receiver in case you find it challenging to leave the comfort of the bed.

Living room:
The large, elegant living room has a comfortable two-seater sofa and armchair in front of an electric fire. The sofa can be converted to a double bed and has a memory-foam mattress. There is a 40" Ultra HD TV with Freesat recorder and a Blu-Ray/DVD player. A dining table and 3 chairs are set to one side. A selection of books and local guides is provided for your visit.

Kitchen:
The fully-fitted kitchen is equipped with all the crockery and equipment you are likely to need during your stay, including kettle, Nespresso pod machine, toaster, oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher.

Bathroom:
The modern bathroom has a double-width walk-in shower with rainfall head and a heated towel rail.

Facilities:
Central heating and hot water are supplied by a combi-boiler and can be set to a temperature of your choosing.
There is a cupboard off the hallway containing a washer-dryer.
Free high-speed internet connection and WiFi is provided.

Terrace:
There is a small patio with table and chairs and views to Loch Linnhe which you are welcome to use when the weather permits. At the back of the patio is a padlocked shed which you can use for storing equipment such as bikes and skis.

Parking:
A single parking space is located to the rear of the apartment.

COVID-19:
I take your good health extremely seriously and I am following enhanced cleaning protocols in line with recommendations from reputable sources such as the Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Following are a few highlights:

I wear protective gear during cleaning to help prevent cross-contamination.

I clean and then sanitise each room against the covid-19 virus, following comprehensive checklists which I have developed specifically for my apartment.

I have carried out extensive research into the most appropriate cleaners and sanitisers. I use products certified to BS EN14476 (effective against viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 which causes the respiratory illness covid-19) and BS EN1276 (effective against bacteria).

I provide extra cleaning supplies, including the above products effective against the covid-19 virus, to allow you to clean and sanitise during your stay if you wish to.

I comply with local laws, including any additional safety or cleaning guidelines.

A Lovely Apartment in a Beautiful Setting

We couldn't have been happier or more comfortable in Andrew's apartment. It is spacious, very clean, and very tastefully decorated. The king-sized bed is very comfortable (one of the most important features to me) and we really appreciated the blackout draperies in the bedroom as the sun didn't really set until well past 11 p.m. The High Street, restaurants, and grocery stores are all a short walk from the apartment as is the train station. The ferry is a short drive south. Overall, it is a very convenient location for exploring such a beautiful part of the world. Andrew is very pleasant and responded quickly to any inquiry we sent him. He has created an online guide that covers the apartment and things to do and see in the immediate area and beyond. Checking in and out was a breeze. We couldn't recommend Andrew's apartment any more highly and would happily stay there again. Thank you, Andrew.

A second stay

Our second stay at this outstanding property excelled even our first wonderful visit. A thoughtful welcome pack, an immaculately clean accommodation and thoughtful touches by a knowledgeable host made this a trip to remember. Many thanks we will be re booking a third stay!

An outstanding property and visit

This stunning flat made us initially jealous that it wasn’t our own! Andrew is a superb host, so attentive but also cognisant of us wanting our time to explore. The flat was immaculate, even with my fiancé’s incredibly high standards (as a chef), Andrew’s kitchen outfitting was superb. The neighbours were friendly, the view to the Loch gorgeous and we rebooked for my birthday on our last night of holiday. Could not recommend more. Well done and thank you Andrew.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew

Host profile image
I consider myself incredibly lucky to live in Fort William for its amazing landscape and variety of outdoor sports like hillwalking, skiing, mountain biking, kayaking and climbing. I also enjoy nature and birdwatching which is also here in abundance. When I'm not outdoors, I love good food and wine in good company. I enjoy sharing what I know with friends and visitors.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

The Victorian apartments at Seaview Terrace were built in the 1890s. They are thought to have been built for West Highland Railway Line workers. The building is Category C-listed with Historic Environment Scotland as one of “special architectural or historic interest”, and is an unusual and striking style for the town.
