Moorings Hotel

Celebrated as one of the most popular hotels in Fort William, the Moorings Hotel is a hidden gem, located just five minutes drive from Fort William town centre but a million miles away from every day hustle and bustle. Situated on the banks of the Caledonian Canal at the famous Neptune’s staircase locks. It is the perfect location for a short stroll along the canal-side or enjoying a more strenuous walk along the Great Glen Way.

The hotel offers the best and most spectacular views of Britain’s highest Mountain, Ben Nevis, with stunning views from the superior and executive rooms over the Caledonian Canal and Neptune Staircase to the Nevis mountain range.

The Moorings always strives to give guests that little bit extra – from the warmest of Scottish welcomes to the most memorable dining experience, using the best of local produce wherever possible, with salmon, venison, seafood and game on seasonally changing menus. Many regular guests return year after year to enjoy the delicious food prepared by our brigade of chefs.

Naturally, your guest bedroom will be everything you would expect and more from an AA and Scottish Tourist Board Four Star Hotel. Our 32 Bedroom Hotel has a collection of Standard, Superior and newly built Executive Bedrooms, with three of the Executive Bedrooms benefiting from private balconies which overlook the Caledonian Canal. Each of our 32 rooms are tastefully furnished and individually designed to capture the sense of the Scottish Highlands. All our rooms have private en-suite bathrooms, hospitality trays, hairdryers, free wi-fi, satellite TV and a selection of quality toiletries. The hotel does not have a lift.

Breakfast in the Moorings Hotel is included in the room rate and is not to be missed. Breakfast includes a European style continental Buffet including fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, pastries, cheeses and cold meats followed by a full Scottish Breakfast cooked fresh from our kitchen. A great start to a day out in the fresh Highland air.

All residents of the Moorings Hotel have free access to wi-fi, free entry to our fitness Suite, as well as a complimentary round of golf at Fort William Golf Course.

Just as we like to give you a warm welcome, we also endeavour to make your Canine companion feel especially welcomed here. To make sure we start in the right way, we supply the following on arrival - our canine welcome letter with suggestions of nearby sniffing and walking spots, dog bed, bowl, nice biscuity treats.

Please be aware that you must book in advance and let us know you are bringing your dog so that we can make sure all the arrangements are in place for you and your pooch. We reserve certain Standard Bedrooms for guests bringing their dogs, therefore availability must be checked in advance. There is a charge of £15.00 per dog per booking.
