Staying with Cameron and Dani at Distant Hills Guest House was a complete pleasure. Very friendly hosts who made us very welcome and went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy. Our room was very well appointed and comfortable with ample tea and coffee making supplies. We also had the use of a large guest lounge with an honesty bar at very reasonable prices. The weather was good so we were able to enjoy the numerous seating areas in the immaculate garden. Made-to-order breakfast was superb and Cameron’s pancakes are to die for! Will we be back? Absolutely!

Fantastic friendly welcome by Dani and Cameron. Room exceeded expectations and was spotlessly clean. We felt so welcome and at home. Breakfast was outstanding. Great choice and was presented beautifully. The cooked breakfast was incredibly tasty as were the pancakes with yoghurt and fruit. Dani was very attentive and it was evident that a lot of care and thought had gone in to how the breakfast table was laid out down to the butter which was wrapped in brown paper to look like sweets. Great stay, would wholeheartedly recommend and great value for money.
- Hannah Bates5/06/2022 - Google
Dani and Cam are such great hosts. They took the time to get to know their guests and make us feel so welcome. The rooms were very comfy and for us the hot tub was an added luxury that we made the most of! We were given information of the local and wider area that made planning our trip so much easier and we saw and experienced some incredible sights and activities. We feel very lucky to have stayed with Dani and Cam and will be returning as soon as we can.

Excellent hosts, room and food.
The room was cosy best nights sleep i had had for 3 days. The view from the garden is amazing. We felt very welcome. Comparing it to the other accommodation on our trip this comes out joint top with another locally owned small hotel in Tarland. - Jurate11/03/2021 - Booking
Amazing stay in Scottish Highlands Thank you, Dani and Cameron, for the exceptional welcoming stay at your guest house. From the minute you opened the doors, we can immediately feel like at home. Brilliant hosts, very cosy atmosphere, incredible selection of drinks in Honesty bar :), amazing breakfast and lovely room. So far the best stay ever!
- STUART BELL11/02/2021 - Google
I could take an hour to tell you all the positives and 3 seconds for the negatives. To keep it simple there is only one comment worth writing " home from home wouldn't go anywhere else.” so from Kaz and myself thanks again for helping make our time away enjoyable.

We heard that Distant Hills were running guided moderate and hard walking weeks through their Facebook page and decided to book on the October hard week. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel more like family than guests; Cameron and Dani proved fantastic hosts. The walks were expertly planned and delivered by Dave and Gary, taking into account the conditions and groups ability. Overall the experience was superb and we will definitely be booking another holiday to Distant Hills in the future.

Just spent the most wonderful 6 nights here doing the harder walking group holiday. Dani and Cameron are the most perfect hosts. Incredibly warm and welcoming with a real passion for people and the outdoors and effortlessly engaged the whole group. Every little detail had been taken care of. The house is perfect, the honesty bar a treat, the drying room a welcome necessity and the breakfasts delicious. The walking guides were knowledgeable and great company. It was lovely to have Dani join us on each of our walks. Dinner in Russell's just down the road was absolutely delicious each and every night. Felt more at home here than in any other place I've stayed. Didn't want to leave!

Wow, wow, wow! What a great place to stay and be looked after. From the location, which is stunning, to the B&B which is clean, modern, welcoming and homely to the hosts Cam and Danni who are genuinely the most friendly and professional people you can meet to the amazing breakfast options!We visited Distant Hills for their Hard Walking Holiday, a 6 night stay with four days of guided walking in the spectacular Scottish Highlands with an amazing guide, Dave! Add to that their hearty Breakfasts, packed lunch, home made cake when you get back, and a three course evening meal and genuinely I didn't want to come home!What made this trip extra special were the people we shared the walking trip with, friendly, funny with a great sense of being part of a like minded group and all expertly held together by Danni and Cam who managed it with ease.If you like B&Bs, you like walking, you like relaxing then Distant Hills is for you.I'll definitely be going back 🙂

A fantastic walking holiday in the beautiful Scottish highlands. The guest house was beautiful and very clean. It was a real home from home and the hosts were excellent and great fun to spend the week with. I could not fault the venue, the staff or the food.
I would totally recommend the walking holiday if you love challenging climbs with exceptional views. I’ll definitely be doing it again - Mags Neison10/19/2021 - Google

Stayed here two weeks ago, for one night...the start of a 10 day Highlands & Islands tour, and I can honestly say this was the nicest most professional place we stayed at in the while 10 days. Dani and Cameron run a well oiled ship here, great info on arrival, helpful about where to eat, everywhere very clean...there was nothing to fault. Highly recommended and a very reasonable price. We would have no hesitation staying at Distant Hills again.
- Penny Carroll10/19/2021 - Google
Absolutely superb place to stay. I stayed initially for a week's walking holiday (which I'd highly recommend) and then a further two nights. Dani and Cameron are the best of hosts with nothing being too much trouble. Rooms are attractive, well equipped and clean. There is a comfy lounge and the luxury of a well stocked honesty bar. Breakfasts are fantastic (with special mention to Cameron's bacon cookery and Dani's excellent 'front of house' skills). It really felt like a home from home and without doubt, I'll be back again!

Wonderful place to stay. Dani & Cameron are great host's and Cameron is an excellent cook. Worth staying the night just for breakfast. Clean with great lounge to socialize and close to restaurants. Looking forward to staying again. Deborah & Neil - Kentucky USA

Great stay at Distant Hills B&B in Spean Bridge on our recent trip to Scotland. The house and property are very well maintained with an amazing view looking out towards Ben Nevis. The location was a perfect stop over point on our drive from Edinburgh to Skye but with so many hiking and outdoor recreation opportunities we will definitely be staying longer on our next visit. We had a delicious cooked breakfast and there are several excellent restaurants nearby for dinner, including one in the village within easy walking distance. Dani and Cameron are lovely and gracious hosts who made us feel completely at home and comfortable and we look forward to seeing them again.
- Nikesh Gudka10/09/2021 - Google
Dani and Cam were excellent hosts. We’ve never stayed at a guesthouse prior to this but the standard of the reviews meant it was hard to ignore. We were only guests for 2 nights but we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks to the both of you, hopefully we’ll stay with you again one day.
- Matthew Pert10/09/2021 - Google
Very nice B&B. The house is lovely and the rooms were very comfy and well equipped. Cameron and Dani seemed like really nice people and gave you a very warm welcome, making you feel right at home. Breakfast was excellent and Dani was very attentive and couldn't do enough for you. Wish we could have stayed longer, but thank you for the lovely stay all the same.
- Mark Hunter10/09/2021 - Google
A fabulous find that I would thoroughly recommend.The first impression was that the guest house is immaculate. There was plenty of space to park at the front of the B & B.We were made to feel very welcome by the owners Danni & Cameron from the moment we arrived.The B & B is in walking distance to a few excellent dining options. We tried the Pine Hills resort on the first night which was 10/10. An excellent experience.The B & B is a short drive away from Ben Nevis, Nevis Ski Range, Glencoe, Kinlochleven Falls, Fortwilliam, Glenfinnian Viaduct etc. It is ideally situated for lots of outdoor activities.The breakfast was first class and the honesty bar was a great touch.The owners are clearly passionate about what they do which shows through in all of the subtle touches throughout the property. They have lots of experience of the local areas and give lots of advice on things to do.A 10/10 stay. Would 100% return.

I have to give a special mention to Cam’s delicious pancakes. To find out just how delicious they are you will need to stay there!Distant Hills is in a fantastic location in the Highlands ideal for exploring or you could join one of their guided walking packages.

Vegan friendly The couple that run the guest house were more that welcoming. I was in Spean for a wedding, and my brother arrived later on, the owners were very helpful with restuarant recommendations, local takeaways, and even provided me with menus.
Being vegan it is always difficult when travelling to somewhere you’ve never been, and end up having to spend ages searching online beforehand. However in advance Dani replied to our request, and we had several options in the morning from cereal to fruit, oat milk for our coffee, and a hot cooked breakfast…only thing I would say is add potato scones or hash browns and the breakfast would be complete.
All in all the facilities wear perfect, a 2 minute drive to a local shop and cafe if needed (also vegan friendly), the rooms were nice and cosy.
Due to me mentioning on arrival I was here for a wedding, Dani offered an iron for the next day and her husband provided this and set it up for us in the dining room.
There was so many small details that I thought went a long way, a nice person touch.

Fantastic and rare find and the warmest of welcomes in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. Everything about my experience at Distant Hills was excellent - from the warm welcome and introduction, to the cleanliness and comfort of the room and the great breakfast choices. Cameron and Dani are a great team and went out of their way to make their guests feel "at home". I can't recommend it highly enough.
There is nothing about the house and the hosts I would recommend changing. Spean Bridge itself does not have much in it but the location and access to the beautiful west coast and Highlands around it is fantastic. - Margaret Harman9/29/2021 - Google

We had a lovely short stay at Distance Hills, we felt very looked after! Dani & Cam were great hosts, full of local knowledge and insights. The honesty bar has a good selection of local drinks and gives you an opportunity to socialise with other guests. Breakfast was yum with good quality veggie sausages, it was also presented beautifully. Not exactly on the Great Glen Way but do contact the hosts for an alternative route to Spean Bridge which means you can avoid the busy main road!

Thank you so much Cam and Dani for an outstanding stay, you made Emily and I feel very welcome indeed. The breakfasts were first class and definitely kept us going on all of our adventures.We hired the two ebikes for two days and they were such a great way to see the surrounding area. So many beautiful trails around, we felt we had the mountains to ourselves and that's in peak season! The bikes are hard tail mountain bikes and are very easy to use. They have Bosch motors which give an awesome boost to any hill climbing and the batteries have enough capacity to last all day.Definitely get yourselves booked in for a few days at Distant Hills - you won't regret it!!

What a find!! We only stayed at Distant Hills for one night as an overnight stop on our way to Skye - but we were already planning our next visit before we’d completed this one!!
Why?
The place is fabulous, Cameron and Dani are excellent hosts, the food is delicious and the location is ideal.
Distant Hills is easy to find. It’s ideally placed for either an overnight stop-off or as a base for exploring the many places, walks and activities the area has to offer.
No details have been missed -the en-suite rooms are beautiful, with everything you could need all beautifully presented and of fabulous quality.
Cam’s Scottish breakfast was a triumph and he and Dani couldn’t do enough for their guests but weren’t in any way intrusive. They have fantastic local knowledge and are generous with it, giving advice and suggestions and also offering guided walks.
We’ll definitely be back!! - Charles Mclelland9/04/2021 - Google
Not enough stars here to rate this property. Warmly received by Cameron & Dani on our arrival as they welcomed us into there immaculate guest house.

Brilliant accommodation in the most beautiful area, with lovely, accommodating and helpful hosts! Would 100% recommend staying here - our stay was so much better than we anticipated. Cameron and Dani are brilliant hosts, lovely, welcoming and giving us some amazing local tips for walks that we would never have done otherwise (thanks!). Our room was lovely and clean and there are big, comfortable communal spaces including a surprise enormous garden which we sat in both nights. It's also even licensed so you can have a beer in the garden after a long drive! Breakfasts were also great - smoked salmon scrambled eggs one day and a full Scottish the next. We loved staying here and if we are in the area again would absolutely come back.

A fantastic Guesthouse and location. We spent a wonderful few days in this lovely guesthouse. Breakfast was stunning, Black Pudding & Haggis, who knew! Certainly not me but it worked really well!!
The area is beautiful and so the location looks after itself but the big difference for us was that Cameron & Dani were the perfect hosts, they couldn't do enough for us and their knowledge of the local area led us to hidden Gems we would never have found on our own. We will certainly be going again and recommending them to our family & friends.

Our stay was 2 nights from 10-12 Aug. We cannot give high enough praise to Cameron and Dani. After a warm welcome and explanation of the COVID 19 guidelines, we were very happy with the comfortable room. There were nice touches such as tea coffee and tea cakes, quality soaps and moisturisers, and crisp clean towels.Breakfast was fabulous with plenty choices and was nicely presented. The use of the communal lounge was very comfortable and was a great place to sit, relax and talk to other guests. The availability of drinks was great in the evening too.I would 100% recommend Distant Hills if you wish to have a relaxing few days or hike Ben Nevis. You will find it difficult to find a better place to stay!We will be back!

Rooms were exceptionally clean, the breakfasts were amazing and Cameron and Dani provided us with lots of great ideas for things to do and places to eat. I cannot recommend Distant Hills highly enough if you are visiting the Highlands. It is a cosy home away from home.

Very friendly hosts, knowledgeable about the local area, hills to climb, places to eat, etc. Good Covid protocols. Delicious breakfasts (we particularly liked the smoked salmon with egg, and the pancakes). The first evening we had the sharing platter, great with a glass or two of wine in the garden on a warm evening. The nice quiet room overlooking the garden had all the usual amenities, tea/coffee making (no problem getting extra milk), good wifi, pleased to find facecloth/flannels, which not everywhere offers. We would be happy to return and recommend to others.

Enjoyable stay. We stayed here for 1 night as we passed through the area. It was enjoyable and the couple who own it are really lovely and chatty. They made you feel comfortable and that nothing was any bother to them. The bathroom in the bedroom was really nice and the breakfast was delicious. I’m vegetarian and there was loads of options. I did feel the bed was very small for £130 a night. But we enjoyed our time here.
A very small double bed. - Sheila8/24/2021 - Booking
Spot On! It’s all been said before. Dani and Cameron were exceptional hosts. Made to feel very welcome and almost like a home from home.
Accommodation is spotless yet provides a homely and comforting atmosphere.
Breakfast was excellent- definitely recommend the pancakes. Portions are not huge but really tasty and beautifully presented. My husband actually agreed that Dani and Cameron had got it spot on!

10/10 would recommend! We stayed here in August as part of our Scotland road trip. We spent the first hour chatting to Dani and Cameron , who made us feel at home and gave us a tour of the facilities (garden, dinning room, drying area, lounge and room). There is even a private woodland walk in the back garden! The parking is spacious, plentiful and is located right outside the rooms (off road).
Cameron is a an amazing chef and the food was catered to our needs. The pancakes are fantastic!
Dani pointed us in the direction of walks/attractions, some of which we didn’t know about, and would now say are some of the best bits of the whole road trip.
I plan to do Ben Nevis shortly and won’t be looking elsewhere for accommodation.
The whole property is clean and greets you with a lovely smell upon arrival; so much so, we have since purchased the same diffusers. - Candice8/18/2021 - Booking
Wonderful stay with a lovely couple. Highly recommended! Dani and Cameron were the perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough to help us. They gave us the most warm welcome and told us all about the property, we had a lovely tapas style dinner with a bottle of wine, there was no need to go out for dinner as the tapas oars in the garden couldn’t be beaten.
Breakfast options were lovely and a bit different to your usual full English! Loved the pancakes. Most of all loved chatting to this fab couple and hearing all about their interesting adventures.

Cameron and Dani offer a fantastic holiday experience whether you are exploring the local area or passing through. There is superb attention to detail everywhere from the comfy bedding to the care shown in making sure your breakfast is perfect. We now want to go back and join them on one of their walking weeks next year.

Dani & Cameron provided a brilliant stay and fab breakfasts, perfectly presented over the weekend just gone. It takes real hard work and preparation to make it look that calm and easy!!! Clean, well-equipped room with a decent shower and comfortable bed. Our hosts went the extra mile to make everything it could possibly be, even lending my walking mate an extra layer, heating up food for a flask. They know the mountains and the hazards they can be - for the uninitiated they can be a source of wisdom. Most importantly, though, they knew every guests name and used it! A few walkable eateries but only 15 minutes drive from Fort William.

Charming, helpful and always trying to please...splendid hosts. Clean, comfortable room with beverage facilities and shower, tv etc. Could not fault the accommodation. This is not a hotel but a BandB as advertised. It has seven guest bedrooms in a modern single storey building. There is a dining room and comfortable lounge as well as a large garden and ample free parking. Owners couldn't do enough to make us welcome.
- Gary8/13/2021 - Booking
Exceptional We liked everything about our stay. The room was comfortable with nice touches such as the decor, lovely soaps and moisturisers, selection of quality tea / coffee and snack. Cleanliness and explanation of Covid-19 guidance was first class, and the breakfast was stunning, with a large selection on offer. The garden was nicely laid out and inviting, despite not staying long enough to use it much. To cap it all the hosts in Cameron and Dani could not be more helpful and friendly where nothing seemed too much trouble!
Nothing at all. It really was a home from home. We just wished we could have stayed longer! - Briskeby8/10/2021 - TripAdvisor

This was our first time staying at Distant Hills Guest House and we were really impressed with everything Dani and Cameron offer. The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfasts are yummy.

Another wonderful stay at Distant Hills. Both Dani & Cameron are among the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of staying with, perfect hosts. The room was great as was the breakfasts and Distant Hills is the perfect base for travelling north, south, east or west. Looking forward to staying there again. The platters are amazing too.

Perfect hosts for a Highland experience Dani and Cameron really are such wonderful hosts, every attention to detail from the moment we arrived, nothing too much trouble. Breakfasts and evening sharing platters were fantastic, all with locally sourced produce and the lovely private garden was the perfect spot to enjoy evening drinks and a takeaway curry after climbing Ben Nevis.
Highlights for our week - taking the Corran ferry to road bike on the roads towards the Mull ferry and Strontian / sea kayaking with Seals off Arisaig / Fly fishing on Loch Garry / or climbing the Aonachs and Ben Nevis! But, most of all sitting in the garden and enjoying a well deserved beer after a day out. - Linda Inglis7/26/2021 - Google
Very friendly and welcoming. Cameron and Dani could not have done more for us, they were approachable and extremely helpful. The room was beautiful and very clean. We were most impressed by the Covid measures in place and the friendly manner in which these were explained. This will most definitely be our go to Guest House when we come back to the area. Thank you very much for a lovely relaxing 4 night stay.

Dani & Cam were the perfect hosts. We don’t normally stay in B&B’s as we normally go self catering but this would change our thinking. So welcoming from the moment we arrived, Dani actually called me before we arrived to make me aware of a traffic accident. Dani gave us great recommendations for some stunning walks and was so helpful throughout our stay. Cam was busy in the kitchen making my perfect porridge (need to tell me your secret!) and his lovely pancakes. Rooms were very nice and had full use of the living room and beautiful garden. If we ever return to the highlands which I know we will as the area is outstanding, unbelievable views everywhere, we will definitely be staying at Distant Hills. Thanks again Dani & Cam and hopefully will see you again some day.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay, Dani and Cameron’s service is brilliant and they are clearly a couple who love what they are doing and love helping people. The house was spotless and the garden is beautiful. We arrived quite late and had a sharing platter which was so fresh and delicious, it was just perfect. Can’t recommend highly enough, we’ll definitely be back!

We cant express how lovely and clean and comfortable this guest house is. We have stayed here twice and will not hesitate to stay again. Dani and Cameron are such a lovely couple. They run the perfect guest house. Cameron makes a mean breakfast and Dani does am amazing cheeseboard which is perfect for an evening meal if you dont want to go out to eat. I love the wee touches in the room like the Tunnocks Tea Cakes 😍. They have a lot of knowledge of the area and if they are unsure about something they will do their best to find out what you need to know. If you dont believe what i have written then book a a stay there and you will see its all true 😁😘

We received a very warm welcome from Dani and Cameron even though we were late to check-in. The room is sparkling clean and equipped with all the essential. The breakfast was exceptional and in fact we are missing the breakfast since we left. Dani and Cameron have both been very helpful and check on us throughout our stay. We are also very thankful for the little surprise gift from them for our honeymoon celebration 🥰 The location is excellent for people who want to climb Ben Nevis and also to visit Fort William.

Best B and B! I stayed here with my sister and my pal for one night when walking the Great Glen Way. It was such a nice B and B with a beautiful garden and super clean rooms. Dani and Cameron were so nice and super helpful. We had such a great breakfast and a packed lunch for the next day. Dani even gave us a lift back to the trail so that we didn’t have to walk it.
Writing this review from our next point of accommodation and we seriously considered taking a taxi back to stay for one more night (if it hadn’t been for the £50 fare we would definitely have been back)!
Super clean, super friendly and 100% recommend it. - Andrew7/10/2021 - Booking

Absolutely Fabulous, we were picked up by Cameron and driven the four miles to Distant Hills, having just walked the first 10 miles of the Great Glen Way, this was a relief!
Everything was explained to us during check-in and questions answered.
Very detailed forms provided for breakfast and packed lunch options.
Settled down in the garden(it was warm and sunny) to Dani's delicious platter of cheese and meats and olives and fruit and bread and crackers.
Breakfast options were excellent and all served professionally.

Fantastic Stay We stayed here for one night on our way to Skye and agree with others reviewers that it is the best guest house that we have ever stayed in. Our regret was that we had not booked in for an overnight on the way home.
From the time of booking until we arrived, we were kept informed of local places to eat, what food was available on site and what to expect when we arrived. The booking in process was exactly as we had been told and the welcome when we arrived made us feel immediately at home.
Dani and Cameron are excellent hosts who have created a very special place to stay.
The house and gardens are beautiful and everywhere is spotlessly clean. The breakfast was delicious and the presentation of the food unrivalled. They are both to be congratulated on what they have achieved. We have recommended Distant Hills to family and friends. - Caroline W7/03/2021 - TripAdvisor

Awesome Place to stay We only had an overnight stay but truly wish it was longer. Cameron and Dani are the perfect hosts. The whole place was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The bedroom was also beautifully furnished the bed was very comfortable and there was everything anyone could possibly need in the bathroom. The only place I have ever stayed where the cups were the right size for a good cup of coffee or tea, which was plentiful. The lounge where we had drinks after eating out was so relaxing and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, hot, tasty and plentiful, served by our truly lovely hosts. I cannot recommend Distant Hills highly enough and will return again. It is a most lovely experience. Thank you Dani and Cameron

Staggered breakfast seating there was no mixing in entrances and hallways. The rooms were warm and comfortable and the breakfast menu and quality of food was excellent. Dani and Cameron were both friendly, yet professional, happy to offer as much or as little local information as you required. The location is perfect for touring or just chilling in the garden looking up at Ben Nevis. I would strongly recommend booking an evening meal prior to arrival, even travelling 10-15mins into Fort William we struggled on the day, but in fairness England were Playing Scotland the weekend we stayed. I doubt we will be back to Scotland any time soon, but know where we will be staying if we do.

Perfect hosts and accomodation Danny and Cam were amazing hosts! They went the extra mile to ensure our stay was perfect - nothing too big or small. The rooms and common areas were neat and tidy and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The breakfasts offered a variety depending on what you wanted to set you up for the day. The black pudding was great! It's always good to know there is a stocked bar for the end of a tiring day (at cost).

This proved a great place to stay and we'd happily go there again. This place has been configured as a purpose-built b&b with a large and very comfortable lounge for guest use and a gorgeous garden to sit in and enjoy. There are a number of different seating areas outside so different parties could be out at once and not feel on top of each other. The twin room we were in had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the fresh fruit salad provided. Dani and Cameron were both very attentive and professional.
It's not that we didn't like it, but the only negative we could think of was our room was a little on the small side. This was however, more than compensated for by having the use of the spacious lounge and garden and really wasn't a problem. - LisaS436/24/2021 - TripAdvisor
Our week away We've been here for nearly a week, heading halfway home tomorrow but we don't really want to go. Dani and Cameron have just been fantastic - from the perfect welcome in their garden (it was sunny.... it happens!) and advice on what to do based on what we like and how far we fancied driving on any particular day. We went up Ben Nevis (and 2 days later we're still struggling to walk without looking like Thunderbirds!) but all is good as they have suggested other walks that don't involve the same pain..
An idyllic place to come and stay. My usual is dossing by a pool on a Greek island or similar and thanks to COVID, we've had to adapt and I'm so happy we did. Next year, hopefully back to the sun but definitely want to do this again (apart from the trip up Ben Nevis...). I never knew the UK had so much to offer: my mistake.

It's not that we didn't like it, but the only negative we could think of was our room was a little on the small side. This was however, more than compensated for by having the use of the spacious lounge and garden and really wasn't a problem. - Beatrice6/24/2021 - Booking
This proved a great place to stay and we'd happily go there again. This place has been configured as a purpose-built b&b with a large and very comfortable lounge for guest use and a gorgeous garden to sit in and enjoy.

Lovely hosts and convenient location Cameron & Dani were great as hosts! They were very friendly and warm, and gave us great tips on scenic hikes and things to do in the area. They were also very thorough and clear with regards to their COVID policy when we arrived, which is a definitely a plus during these times. Conveniently located near the main roads so it was easy to get to, but also quiet at night. Good dining options nearby as well.
Nothing, we enjoyed our stay! - Natalie Sparrow6/22/2021 - Google
Very knowledgeable and accommodating Hosts who made us feel like family staying in their home. The only fault I can find in our stay was we only booked one night! Thank you to Dani and Cameron for a great stay we look forward to returning in the future.

Visiting the Ben Nevis area..this is the place Dani and Cameron are great and enthusiastic hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. Location is great - very easy access to both town and a whole array of interesting walks. Rooms are comfortable and the garden very attractive. This is a great place to stay.
Everything at this property was great - Nick Griffiths6/21/2021 - Google
Immaculate and spotless twin room, which we booked on our cycle tour. Very comfy beds too.Well provisioned with in-room tea & coffee, and bathroom shower gel/shampoo, which was superb when travelling light.A friendly and professional greeting from Cameron when we arrived after 9 hours cycling and a top notch breakfast before we left with Dani. I had the scotch pancakes, yogurt and fruit. My colleague the vegetarian belly buster! Nothing was too much trouble.A great stay, we would definitely stay again. I'd happily de-tour to Distant Hills if i was anywhere near Spean Bridge.Thanks again Nick and RobPS we did make it to Inverness on 2 gears 🙂

Our three night stay was excellent. From the warm welcome and generous hospitality from Dani and Cam, to the immaculate rooms and very tasty breakfasts ( yes the scrambled eggs and salmon and ‘Cam’s Gran’s Recipe’ pancakes are truly as photogenic as they are on the website) we were able to relax and unwind in such a beautiful setting. It’s been a tough time for a’ folk and if you are fortunate enough to be able to travel to Spean Bridge, I can readily recommend Distant Hills.

Great stay with very informative and accommodating Hosts! Great location for what we wanted (Climb Ben Nevis). The hosts Dani and Cameron made us feel very at home and couldn't do enough to help with everything from recommendations for dinner to advice for our trip to Nevis. The breakfast was great and set us up for the day. Our stay was very enjoyable, and one I hope my partner and I will look to revisit in the future.
We only booked one night! - BuckTheSystem6/19/2021 - TripAdvisor
Perfect Hosts We were looking for a place to stay whist starting the Great Glen Way.
Planning on 2 nights at Distant Hills meant we could enjoy the very comfortable and super clean room we were given. Dani and Cam have hosted in the Alps and in Colorado. They really are 'Super-hosts', being so welcoming, engaging and kind.
The bedroom, bedding and towels were immaculate. We slept so well as the bed was SO comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with multiple choices and options and we enjoyed the generous packed lunches we ordered. There was ample off-road parking and the guest house is within walking distance of places to eat.
We would most certainly stay again if back in this area and HIGHLY recommend Distant Hills to anyone considering a holiday in the Fort William/ Nevis Range environs. - Becky Lamond6/16/2021 - Google

A Truly Excellent B&B Distant Hills is a great place to stay within easy reach of Ben Nevis and other places of interest. Cameron and Dani are wonderful hosts—delicious breakfasts are carefully prepared each morning and they are a wealth of inspiration for places to visit nearby. Our room was immaculately clean with views of the beautiful garden. We stayed for four nights but could have happily stayed for longer!

We stayed for 6 nights at the Distant Hills B&B. It is in a great location for access to much of the big hitters. It is a lovely building, rooms well laid out, very clean and breakfast is fabulous and sets you up for the day. When you’re tired you can relax in the living room or their lovely garden. To be fair though what makes this a great rather than good establishment though are the hosts Dani and Cam who clearly love what they do and care about your stay, which shows in the service they offer. Would stay here again

A Wonderful Welcome You feel the welcome the minute you walk in the door of Distant Hills and it continues until you leave, with Dani and Cameron ensuring a very personalised visit. Everywhere is spotless - particularly pertinent at this time and social distancing takes place in a very positive manner. Every breakfast was delicious, as was the meat and cheese platter and packed lunch. However, the greatest strength is the kindness and thoughtfulness of Dani and Cameron ensuring a return visit.

Wonderful Guest House in the heart of the highlands. Hosts, Dani and Cam couldn't have been more accommodating! We managed a couple of stunning walks and even fitted in the Commando Trail, the local area is full of history and awe-inspiring views. The rooms were excellent, spacious and modern, better than the wonderful photos on the website! Local beers with a platter of meats and cheeses one evening at Distant Hills and a meal at The Old Station on the second. Breakfast was superb with a choice of a full Scottish, pancakes or fruits and cereals - all wonderful. We can't thank you enough!

Great guest house with excellent hosts. I was staying in Spean Bridge for work and used the Distant Hills Guest House. Dani and Cameron are excellent hosts with a good knowledge of the local area. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they cook a great breakfast. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. I have stayed in a lot of places for work during Covid and the instructions and procedures at Distant Hills were excellent, clear, concise and designed to help guests relax and enjoy their stay. Although I was staying for work-related reasons, Dani and Cameron made it feel like a holiday.

Overnight at Distant Hills We booked during lockdown in the hope that things would be getting back to "normal". Thankfully we were able to travel and enjoy a quick overnight at the Distant Hills B&B. The drive up was delightful, we werent in a hurry but we received a phone call to check from Dani to ensure we were ok. Everything was in place for Covid regulations and the grounds were peaceful and calm. Perfect!! The room was clean and had tea/coffee/biscuits and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Nw Im a fairly light sleeper but even with the room on the roadside we both slept like logs. Very clean bathroom with plenty towels and beautiful toiletries. Breakfast was filling. Staggered times and spaced out tables. Plenty to chose from and very healthy and well presented. We both went for the pancakes with fruit and greek yogurt. After a filling breakfast we headed to our hills. Would love to return for a longer time.

Welcoming and friendly. After a long journey from Mull we received the warmest of welcomes from Dani. She told us about her and Cameron’s background and how they found Distant Hills. Covid policies were clearly explained. We were then shown to our room which was comfortable and well decorated and spotlessly clean.
Breakfast was delicious, both Dani and Cameron chatted to their guests.

Great Find So glad I found this guest house.Perfect place to stay after our trip on The Jacobite train from Fort William.Room was beautifully decorated.Facing the gorgeous garden with it’s many nooks and crannies depending whether you want shade,sun or peace and quiet.
Lots of hanging space and hangers.Drawers too.
Loved the toiletries - not those silly small travel size which barely do one person never mind two!Full length mirror absolute bonus!
Shower on the slightly snug side and duvet was quite heavy - not too hot more a weight issue ?
Breakfast was delicious with full cooked available, yoghurt,fruit or Cameron’s famous pancakes.
Lovely spacious lounge and a bar available if you want to sit and relax.
Easy walking distance to Old Station Restaurant which is well worth a visit.
Cameron and Dani have and do work very hard to make your stay enjoyable- looking forward to seeing you both again.
Keep up the good work. - Patricia5/26/2021 - Booking

Hosts with the Most From the moment we rang the doorbell Danni and Cameron could not have made us more welcome. Their home is lovely and shows the commitment they have made to ensuring guests have everything they need. The breakfast was amazing with lots of choices and nothing was too much trouble, even me asking for my toast to be "well done" !!! They are knowledgeable about the area and Distant Hills is an ideal base for Fort William and for the Jacobite Express trip. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped. They have a beautiful garden and a comfortable lounge to sit in in the evening and they have a selection of wine, spirits and beers available too if you dont feel like going out. Their attention to every detail of hospitality is first class. Thank you both for a lovely stay. Heather & Doug
