What guests think
At The Factor's Inn & Factor's Cottage, guests praise spacious rooms and scenic grounds, but report mixed check-in at the castle, some dated maintenance, and dining that ranges from excellent pub meals to options that feel limited, pricey, or unavailable.
The setting feels quiet and rural, a short drive from Fort William, though some rooms pick up noise from the pub or nearby road. Cleanliness is generally solid, but a few guests noted damp rooms, troublesome showers, or wear and tear, and several missed having an in-room fridge. Expect large, characterful accommodations on beautiful grounds with trade-offs around service logistics and consistency.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely room - very spacious and easy parking. Only downsides were that the room was a bit musty smelling, one of the blinds wouldn’t close properly, and check-in was up at the castle which is a reasonable distance away over poorly maintained roads.

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.

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.

We were there 2 nights. Rooms are above the bar/pub so we could hear the music and noises from the kitchen. No hot water on the first day and no apologies or offer of compensation from the hotel. Located right on a busy highway going into Fort William. Definitely need a vehicle if planning to stay here as it is located a few miles from town. Rooms comfortable but bathrooms need updating. Not sure I would stay there again.

Check in at separate location was awkward and confusing. Staff rushed us out the door. Their only suggestion for dinner was the pub below our rooms. The pub was dead and had a strange smell. We found our own spot for dinner. The rooms while large are above the pub. We couldn’t sleep until those noise stopped around 11:30. The road near beside the location is also busy and load.

Service
Staff are often friendly and helpful, yet the off-site check-in at the castle is a recurring source of confusion or delays, and getting assistance can be difficult at times.

La chambre est située dans une maison attenante au château. Elle est très confortable. Notre hôte nous a permis d’arriver vers 21h30. Seul irritant: le coût du petit-déjeuner, 38£ par personne. Nous avons plutôt opté pour un restaurant situé dans un camping et offrant des services de buanderie très faciles à utiliser. De plus, on nous a demandé un dépôt de 38£, ce qui était imprévu. Son utilité reste un mystère.

The room was nice. My problem was the check in process. Our room was not ready on time. Once it was ready, the receptionist was going to drive down to the cottage in a golf cart but decided not to. Her directions were not very good and we had difficulty finding our room. There are 2cottages and they do not have the room numbers on the outside. Our key did not work well in the cottage where our room was, so we thought we were in the wrong spot. My husband finally got the door open and we found our room.

Check in was horrible. First, you have to go back and check in at the Castle. There are NO perks. They show food and restaurant in the website and there is NONE. You can go to breakfast back at the Castle for 38pounds each. We asked about dinner for the 2 nights we would be there and they were booked solid (my fault). We wanted to sit outside and have a glass of wine and there was not a table or a chair anywhere. It was just a very disappointing experience. We stayed the next 2 nights at the Inch Hotel in Fort Augustus. It was awesome. Apparently, they are part of the same hotel group and they were very upset at our report when we were talking to them about it. We found a little place at the golf course 5 minutes away... The Caddy Shack. It was fantastic. Great bar, sweet people and good food. We went to dinner there twice and breakfast once. They told us that the restaurant at the Inn has been closed since before COVID. It seems the website could be easily updated to reflect the current situation. I will never book the Factor again.

Lovely room - very spacious and easy parking. Only downsides were that the room was a bit musty smelling, one of the blinds wouldn’t close properly, and check-in was up at the castle which is a reasonable distance away over poorly maintained roads.

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.

La chambre est située dans une maison attenante au château. Elle est très confortable. Notre hôte nous a permis d’arriver vers 21h30. Seul irritant: le coût du petit-déjeuner, 38£ par personne. Nous avons plutôt opté pour un restaurant situé dans un camping et offrant des services de buanderie très faciles à utiliser. De plus, on nous a demandé un dépôt de 38£, ce qui était imprévu. Son utilité reste un mystère.

Our room was a tad dated but very comfortable. We had dinner in the pub which we felt had a very limited menu and pricey for the quality of food

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.

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.

Check in was horrible. First, you have to go back and check in at the Castle. There are NO perks. They show food and restaurant in the website and there is NONE. You can go to breakfast back at the Castle for 38pounds each. We asked about dinner for the 2 nights we would be there and they were booked solid (my fault). We wanted to sit outside and have a glass of wine and there was not a table or a chair anywhere. It was just a very disappointing experience. We stayed the next 2 nights at the Inch Hotel in Fort Augustus. It was awesome. Apparently, they are part of the same hotel group and they were very upset at our report when we were talking to them about it. We found a little place at the golf course 5 minutes away... The Caddy Shack. It was fantastic. Great bar, sweet people and good food. We went to dinner there twice and breakfast once. They told us that the restaurant at the Inn has been closed since before COVID. It seems the website could be easily updated to reflect the current situation. I will never book the Factor again.

We stayed 3 days. Poor water pressure, even with shower on complete heat, it was only moderately warm. Had to call to request more tissue, body wash, tea.

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.

We were there 2 nights. Rooms are above the bar/pub so we could hear the music and noises from the kitchen. No hot water on the first day and no apologies or offer of compensation from the hotel. Located right on a busy highway going into Fort William. Definitely need a vehicle if planning to stay here as it is located a few miles from town. Rooms comfortable but bathrooms need updating. Not sure I would stay there again.

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.
