Parade House
Fort William

Parade House, dating from the end of the Jacobite Rebellions, nestles in a unique, secluded location overlooking the gardens of the towns historic Parade. Fort William’s bustling town centre with a variety of shops, restaurants and bars is literally on our doorstep. Private parking is available and just a short walk away are national transport connections. Staying in the comfort of ‘The Guest Room’ visitors will find themselves at the heart of all that the Scottish Highlands has to offer.

‘The Guest Room’ is located on the upper floor of Parade House, accessed through its own entrance door via an external staircase to the rear of the property.  The entrance door opens directly into our guests self contained area.  On entering, the hallway provides access to a well appointed shower room and also the spacious, thoughtfully furnished bedroom.  In addition to the king sized bed, drawers and wardrobe there is an area furnished for relaxing.  Although ‘The Guest Room’ is let on a room only basis there would be a welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, shortbread…. We have also provided a fridge, kettle, coffee machine and variety of glasses, crockery and cutlery so that our guests are able to picnic in comfort on the abundance of fresh produce available in the immediate vicinity. The room is light and welcoming, and we hope our love of the Arts is evident throughout, from the art work on the walls to the repurposed furniture.

Located in Fort William we are surrounded by impressive terrain and in turn have on our door step all that the outdoors has to offer. From skiing and downhill biking at Nevis Range and the mountain climbs, forest walks and bike tracks surrounding us to sailing, canoeing and kayaking on nearby lochs and rivers. For the less energetic we have in town our own Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, McCallum Art House, the Highland Cinema, the West Highland Museum, world famous for its Jacobite exhibits, a library, Ben Nevis Distillery and a wide variety of cafes and shops. Also, a short drive away, there are beautiful beaches, a gin school, an award winning contemporary Scottish art gallery and many historical monuments worth visiting. After returning from a days sightseeing or adventure seeking maybe walk onto the High Street and relax at one of the bars or restaurants, many promoting locally sourced produce, and whilst eating perhaps indulge in sampling a locally distilled gin, whiskey or local craft beer.

Parade house is just a 5 minute walk from Fort William Bus Terminal and Train Station. The West Coast rail line from Glasgow to Fort William is considered one of the most scenic journeys in the country. Whilst the Caledonian Sleeper provides a rail route from London Euston direct to our door, a popular way to reach the heart of the Highlands from the UK’s capital. If arriving in Fort William without a car there is a regular local bus service, with direct bus routes to Oban, Mallaig, Inverness, Skye as well as Glasgow and Edinburgh via their airports. But to get the most out of visiting Fort William and the surrounding area having an independent mode of transport is beneficial. There is local car and bike hire available.
