Thank you very very much for the lovely chats, good advice for walking, the amazing places you recommended to us within the vicinity and your attentiveness to ensure our well-being whenever we were around.

Also provided places to go for dinner so we could make reservations in advance. The room is very comfortable and we had a living room to hang out in and chat with the other guests. Both breakfasts were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for anything better to get us out the door. Thank you and we will definitely come back if we get to this beautiful area again.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm Scottish hospitality that set the tone for the entire stay.The accommodations were cozy and comfortable, with all the modern amenities one could ask for, yet still maintaining a charming, rustic feel that perfectly complemented the surrounding natural beauty. Waking up to the sight of mist-covered lochs and rolling hills outside my window was a highlight of each day.Dani & Cameron were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Their recommendations for local activities and dining options were spot-on, and they were always ready with a friendly smile and a willingness to assist.

I’d definitely target the place for a longer visit in the future.The room was beautiful and the view spectacular. The bathroom, though small, was extra clean with plenty of toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and other needs. The living area was set up in a way to immediately welcome you to treat it as home, and Cameron and Danny made sure you felt that way. Cozy tv corner, self-service bar, and a view of a well kept backyard.
Colin8/28/2023 - BookingPerfect 😀 - Distant Hills is a lovely property, in a good location, with excellent hosts. Not too far from Fort William, the B&B could be a great base for local walks (which they also do) or drives to the stunning local lochs or hills. Our hosts were so welcoming and friendly, we could have sat chatting with them for hours. The place was spotless and breakfast very good. We also took advantage of the hot tub & bar. Our only disappointment was not staying for longer.

We stayed in 6 B&B's during our trip and this was the highlight. The residents lounge overlooking the pristine garden is a beautiful place to relax along with a beer from the honesty bar.

La camera ha il bagno in camera "scomposto" (locale wc, locale doccia, lavandino in camera) come previsto in molti posti al di fuori dell'Italia, nonostante ciò tutto funzionale e pulito. La colazione è ottima ed è possibile scegliere il menù la sera prima. Gli host Dani e Cameron sono molto cordiali e attenti, disponibili per ogni necessità (abbiamo avuto un piccolo inconveniente personale e sono stati subito disposti ad aiutarci).

Dani & Cameron's total commitment to their guests' continues to shine through. We will return and certainly have NO hesitation in recommending Distant Hills to ALL fellow travellers/adventure seekers/holiday makers. Once again - a huge THANK YOU to you both - Dani & Cameron.

Michael S6/30/2023 - TripAdvisorFantastisk søde og hjælpsomme værter - og et dejligt værelse Fantastisk søde og ekstremt hjælpsomme værter, dejlige værelser og virkeligt god morgenmad. Vi fik også en madpakke med til dagens etape på vandrestien Great Glen Road samt et lift op til hvor ruten starter. Vi var i gode hænder fra ankomst til afgang, og her bor vi meget gerne en anden gang.
Gab Wer6/26/2023 - GoogleThank you,Dani and Cameron, for the warm welcome! You are so friendly and interested to make the stay of your guests extraordinary. The breakfast is so delicious with best ingredients. The area is absolutely calm, the parking spacious and train station, supermarket, pharmacy can be reached by foot. Highly recommended!
Anita6/20/2023 - BookingA perfect BnB, just exceptional 😀 - Everything! the owners go out of their way to make your stay perfect. There is a lovely common room with a bar for guests. The property is beautifully decorated. The property has more amenities than most hotels. 😞 - everything is perfect
Andrew6/19/2023 - BookingExceptional 😀 - The entire house was clean and tastefully decorated. we were very comfortable. The host and hostess were very friendly and nice. 😞 - Watch out for midges when you go to get in your car in the early morning. They can get in the car and bother you for a long time.
Dominique6/19/2023 - BookingWürde jederzeit wiederkommen und dann auch länger bleiben! 😀 - Direkt vom ersten Moment beim treffen mit den Gastgebern fühlt man sich hier Pudelwohl. So Herzensgute Menschen und trotzdem in keinster weise Aufdringlich. Ausstattung und Komfort waren nicht zu beanstanden gefolgt von einem sehr leckeren Frühstück. 😞 - Die Zimmer bzw Betten waren in Wirklichkeit etwas kleiner als auf den Bildern zu sehen.
Oliver6/18/2023 - BookingPerfektes B&B mit super freundlichen Gastgebern und toller Einrichtung mit viel Komfort. 😀 - Sehr engagierte Gastgeber, die ihr Haus mit viel Liebe und Begeisterung führen. Cooler Hot Tub, perfektes Frühstück, tolle Einrichtung. Hilfreiche Informationen zur Umgebung. Super Mini Bar im Aufenthaltsraum mit lokalen Biersorten. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Nick H6/15/2023 - TripAdvisorAn overnight oasis on my walk along the East Highland Way This is an amazing location in every way. A spectacular setting and a beautifully laid out room that made me feel most comfortable. The hosts were amazing, making every aspect of my stay special, and a Guest House that I will most certainly be returning to.
Christiane6/09/2023 - BookingSehr angenehme Unterkunft 😀 - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber mit guten Tipps für Ausflüge - gehen auf alle Gäste individuell ein ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Tolles Frühstück. Schöner Garten. Lage ideal für Ausflüge. 😞 - Der Ort Spean Bridge ist leider sehr schmucklos. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig. Es roch extrem nach Reinigungsmitteln.
lwgrillo6/07/2023 - TripAdvisorWarm, welcoming and comfortable, great breakfast and a hot tub! Dani and Cam have created a lovely B & B at Distant Hills. Dani and Cam were very warm and welcoming, and the inn is modern and clean, with some great amenities. We particularly enjoyed the guest lounge, garden, and hot tub. They offered drinks and snacks in the lounge (on the honor system) and breakfast was generous and delicious. We had Cam’s granny’s pancakes, and they were yummy. The rooms are compact, but you have everything you need, and they are immaculately clean, and the bed was comfy. They even provided washcloths which I appreciated. (Not many hotels and inns in Scotland had washcloths!) We came by bus from Ft. William and walked about 10 minutes to get there. In the morning, Dani recommended a short walk before we had to catch the train onward. It was delightful stay.
Liz M6/04/2023 - TripAdvisorBeautiful Guest House We had a three night stay in this beautiful guest house and it really was a wonderful experience. The hosts Dani & Camerson were very professional and on top of everything but also extremely friendly and welcoming and soon made us feel at home. Nothing was too much trouble. Before our arrival they provided us with lots of information of the area and of popular places to eat which meant we could book our restaurants beforehand. The Old Station was delicious and just a 10 minute walk from the accommodation. Our bedroom, as was the whole setting, was immaculate and very comfortable. There was also a nice comfortable lounge area to relax in with a well stocked bar, which you could help yourself and just note down what you've had. The garden is lovely and spacious and well maintained with an added bonus of a lovely hot tub. The breakfasts were delicious with plenty of choice. The area is beautiful too. We did not want to leave!
Adriana Tomie6/02/2023 - GoogleI spent 6 nights at Distant Hills with 3 girlfriends and had a great time. Beds comfy, breakfast delicious and nutricious. And the hot tub was a treat. The hosts were the best, very accommodating to our needs and went above and beyond providing us with hiking and transport info. Highly recommend staying at Distant Hills.
Simon6/02/2023 - BookingFantastic hosts and property. 😀 - The moment we turned up and were greeted by Cameron we were hooked on Distant Hills. He took us through to their amazing garden, where we checked in, having a lengthy chat about the surrounding area and numerous activities on their doorstep. The room was very clean, with a lovely big comfy bed and all the amenities you need. The garden really is beautiful, with a hot tub if you fancy it, and a number of seating areas too. There is also a lounge with honesty bar, which we used and is definitely an added bonus. Breakfast was fantastic, whilst Cameron was cooking in the kitchen, Dani was an amazing host, who was full of knowledge about the places we were going to visit. Cameron and Dani really do take pride in what they do and work fantastic as a team! We will definitely stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful bed and breakfast to anyone. 😞 - Leaving 🙂

Lorie6/02/2023 - GoogleThree weeks in Scotland and this was, by far, the best home away from home. Dani and Cam are the perfect hosts. We were made to feel that during our stay this was our home and to enjoy every bit of it. The backyard was an oasis after a full day of hiking. The hot tub was an added pleasure. I cannot say enough and would highly recommend this guesthouse. We met so many lovely people every night in the lounge and swapped stories of our days in the Highlands. Breakfast was superb and don't leave without trying Cam's famous pancakes! The wee burn at the edge of the property was perfect and rounded out the peaceful setting for me. 5+ stars for Distant Hills.
Amanda Brindley5/31/2023 - GoogleDani and Cameron were amazingly welcoming! This was a wonderful spot for exploring Fort William and taking the Jacobite Express. The room was small, but efficiently designed and they provided charging adapters along with tea and coffee. The honesty bar was a great highlight as was the hot tub! Breakfast was delicious and I can't say enough good things about the owners! The only downside is that we only stayed here for one night.
Marion Smith5/31/2023 - GoogleQuite simply, it's the best B&B I've ever stayed in !Dani & Cameron are so welcoming & friendly when you arrive, then you are shown round the lovely sitting room area with a lovely, tasteful honesty bar, then your room - they are all so well decorated, well thought out and immaculately clean. Their garden is also a tranquil place to relax in plus it has a lovely hot tub to relax in even more !Their breakfasts are absolutely brilliant, with perfect presentation - especially the fabulous butter portions - and the friendly chat with Dani & Cam are the best start to your day !Their hospitality is really second to none, they make you feel like a friend !They can also help you plan walking and cycling trips in the area, including packed lunches.Their email information about Distant Hills location, check in times etc are so helpful and informative about local restaurants & activities etc, it made my trips much easier to plan.What's not to love about Distant Hills, I would book in now before it's too late !
Paul Williamson5/31/2023 - GoogleThank you Cameron & Dani for a wonderful stay at Distant Hills. A warm welcome, well thought out rooms with lovely little touches we appreciated. Beautiful lounge area, delicious generous breakfast. Honestly a perfect B&B. Will return.Thank you both, Regards Paul & Rod.
Martin Y5/30/2023 - TripAdvisorawesome Holiday We booked a stay for one week after my wife saw the four in a bed programme on Television. We have to agree with all the other reviews this has to be the best guest house we have stayed in by far. Danni and Cameron were most welcoming from the time of booking until we arrived and throughout our stay. We were informed of the best eating places and best places to go travel/walk and easiest scenic routes to get there.The booking in process was exactly as we had been told and the welcome when we arrived made us feel at home. It’s not very often you have a welcome and chat in the sunshine in a wonderful back garden.The views from the Guest House were exceptional especially Ben Nevis which we had to do We were made to feel at home from the minute we arrived, everything about Distant Hills and the hosts are perfect.We will be coming back again sometime next year Maybe to climb Ben Nevis again
Barbara5/28/2023 - BookingSehr gute Unterkunft 😀 - Das Frühstück - es gab nicht nur das typisch schottische Frühstück, sondern auch Pancakes! Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Lisa Akerele5/24/2023 - GoogleSimply the most welcoming, immaculate and quiet place to meet, relax and recover from a long day waking and exploring, nothing has been overlooked. The hot tub and honesty bar as extras not to mention both Dani and Cam’s knowledge of the area. Can’t wait to return. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.
Douglas F5/23/2023 - TripAdvisorExcellent Guest House My wife and I stayed overnight at “Distant Hills Guest House” on our way to the Outer Hebrides; it is almost equidistant from Central Scotland to the ferry port of Uig on Skye so makes the ideal overnight location. Cameron and Danni have created a superb Guest House in every way. The location is peaceful with an extensive rear garden ideal for relaxing in after a journey. The welcome from Cameron and Dani is genuinely warm and engaging and it is clear they want to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The accommodation is first class; scrupulously clean, comfortable, warm and well appointed. The breakfast menu provides excellent choice for all and is cooked to perfection. In summary, “Distant Hills Guest House” is the “benchmark” to which other such establishments should aspire. We have no hesitation is recommending this Guest House and look forward to returning next year.

Sue Headington5/17/2023 - GoogleWe were made to feel very welcome nothing was too much trouble, Dani and Cameron are fabulous hosts. The hot tub was much needed after climbing Ben Nevis and the well stocked honesty bar went down really well. Delicious breakfast and lots of it. The whole experience was extremely well organised and home from home. Not that I will ever climb Ben Nevis again but would stay at Distant Hills.
Debbie Slatter5/17/2023 - GoogleA wonderful stay with amazing hosts Cameron and Danni, with a hot tub in the garden made it even special after a long trek up Benn Nevis .Delicious breakfast every morning set us up for the day.Thanks once again Cam and Danni and keep up the great work you do for the rest of the season .Deb & Rob Slatter
lukas k5/17/2023 - GoogleOnly stayed one night but this is a wonderful B&B, stylishly decorated, very clean place with a lovely garden and delicious breakfast.

Would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back here in the future .
Daniela Heinen5/17/2023 - GoogleDistant Hills Guest House is a beautiful place to holiday. Dani and Cameron are lovely and welcoming hosts. The breakfast was wonderful.

TracyAncliff5/11/2023 - TripAdvisorBest welcome ever! What a fantastic place! We stayed here for one night as part of our Great Glen Way walking holiday and the welcome we received when we arrived was the best welcome we have ever had at any B&B!! Dani was great explaining everything and making sure we were settled in after our long days walk. Breakfast was lovely, another great welcome (Dani called everybody my name, a very nice personal touch) and the food was delicious. My husbands gluten free diet was catered for very well and great care was taken to ensure no cross contamination.Would highly recommend this for a stay and we hope to be back.
Darrell Swain5/10/2023 - GoogleWe had the pleasure of a three night stay here just last week. It's without doubt right up there with the best accomodation we've ever stayed in, in every way. The standards throughout are exceptional. Dani & Cam are fab, work really hard, but remain the perfect hosts. I tried all the options at brekkie, & all of them were delish, especially Cam's pancakes. The hot tub is high spec & spotless, & the honesty bar & resident's lounge area is lovely. There is loads to do in the surrounding areas too. There are the obvious biking & walking options, but we also did the train from Spean Bridge to Mallaig, on the west coast (stunning), & had a fab seafood lunch there, & also did the Nevis Range cable car. There is something for everyone, we have loads we still want to do, & we will be back as soon as we can.
Annette O5/08/2023 - TripAdvisorThe perfect hosts! We stayed one night whilst hiking the Great Glen Way - by far the best accommodation of our week! Cameron and Dani were such superb hosts, and their place is just immaculate. Every detail has been thought of and presentation throughout was lovely! The hot tub was an unexpected bonus, and very welcome for weary legs! Breakfast was superb (especially Cameron’s pancakes!) as was our packed lunch and, again, they just go to so much trouble to make your stay as perfect as possible. Would not hesitate to stay again and highly recommend! (Special shout out to “Martin” who provided some morning entertainment 😂”)
Michele5/07/2023 - Bookingit felt like home away from home. camrin and Dani we so knowledgeable and eager to help. they love what they do and it s 😀 - we stayed at eight different locations on this 14 day trip. This one far exceeded and was the best compared to all others. We will be back. 😞 - the little thoughtful personal touches and extras. the garden, breakfast, decor, location, everything.
Claudia5/06/2023 - BookingExceptional 😀 - Wir wurden sehr herzlich von den Gastgebern Dany und Cameron empfangen. Das Haus und der Garten ist ein Traum. Man sieht sofort, dass in diesem Haus sehr viel Herzblut steckt. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Beim individuell zubereiteten Frühstück fühlte man sich wie im First-Class-Hotel. Der tolle gepflegte Garten hatte sogar einen Hot Tub. Schade, dass wir nur auf der Durchreise waren. Bei Dany und Cameron wären wir gerne länger zu Gast gewesen. Das Haus hätte 11 Punkte verdient! 😞 - Da gibt es rein gar nichts!
Kirstin5/03/2023 - BookingSehr schöne Unterkunft in den schottischen Highlands ♥ 😀 - Wir waren leider nur eine Nacht im Distant Hills Guest House - man könnte es hier definitiv länger aushalten! Die Gastgeber sind wirklich unfassbar herzlich und man fühlt sich direkt willkommen und wird mit allen wichtigen Infos versorgt. Die ganze Unterkunft ist schön und gemütlich gestaltet. Es gibt einen Wohnbereich, den alle Gäste nutzen können und dort ist auch eine kleine Bar mit alkoholfreien, sowie alkoholischen Getränken, an denen sich jeder bedienen kann - bezahlt wird dann am Ende des Aufenthaltes (sehr faire Preise). Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und wird morgens frisch zubereitet - ich kann die Pancakes nur empfehlen 🙂 Unser Highlight war der Hot Tube ♥ Falls ihr hier übernachtet, reserviert euch einen Tisch im Restaurant "The Whispering Pine Lodge" - ist auch eine Empfehlung der Gastgeber vom Distant Hills - wir waren begeistert!
Angela P5/02/2023 - TripAdvisorWonderful accommodation, food and scenery. Brilliant hosts ! Excellent facilities and food . We stayed B&B . Attention to detail was fantastic abd friendliness of our hosts just the icing on the cake ! They should run a school for wannabe B&B hosts to show them how it’s done !! Wonderful ! We hope to gone back
Claire O'Driscoll5/02/2023 - GoogleCameron and Dani were excellent hosts in a great location half way to Isle of Skye from Edinburgh. Quick drive from Fort William. Exceptional breakfast in the morning and a hot tub for those who dare to venture to the garden! Good bed, excellent nights sleep before local hikes. Great recommendations from them on local restaurants for dinner too, one of the best meals we’ve had on our trip to the highlands!
Steph G5/01/2023 - TripAdvisorWonderful Inn Stayed here a night as part of an Inn to Inn hiking vacation. Wonderful and gracious hosts. Great accommodations. Delicious breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay. We relaxed after dinner at the Old Station in the great room where they had plenty of drinks offerings. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for your hospitality!
Jackie4/29/2023 - BookingPerfect !!! 😀 - Great location for walking & cycling, lovely hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was cooked freshly every mooring & the licensed bar was nice for a pre dinner drink over looking the beautiful garden before going out to eat. The recommendations of the ‘whispering pines’ & ‘pine lodge’ were perfect, both with amazing views. 😞 - nothing to dislike
Charlotte4/23/2023 - BookingUn séjour idyllique ! 😀 - Nos hôtes ont été particulièrement charmants et aux petits soins avec nous. La journée étant ensoleillée, nous avons pu profiter du jaccuzi, d'un apero dans le jardin et avons fait la connaissance d'autres résidents dans le salon commun autour d'un verre avec plaisir. La chambre est extrêmement confortable. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux, distingué et copieux. Nous avons dîné au restaurant Old Station selon les conseils de nos hôtes et avons passé une charmante soirée
Ashley4/16/2023 - BookingExceptional location and welcome 😀 - Our stay couldn’t have been better. What a warm welcome from our hosts! The location is breathtaking and the room was immaculate! It is exceptionally decorated throughout the property with easy walking distance to local restaurants. The stay offers a hot tub, bar and a relaxing atmosphere. I could not recommend this property more and will most certainly be returning! 😞 - I have no dislikes at all.
Stephen Dalziel4/16/2023 - TripAdvisorModerate Walking Week 9-15 April 2023 Our 4th visit, and 2nd walking holiday, at Distant Hills just completed A superb week starting with the usual friendly welcome from Dani and Cameron. That’s not just reserved for returning guests, newbies get a warm welcome too.If you haven’t been on a walking week before but enjoy good walks, good food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere then I would highly recommend Distant Hills walking weeks. 4 days of walking, all with an experienced guide through stunning scenery. The great benefit of the guided walking is that changeable weather means walks are changed to suit conditions, sometimes on the day.Breakfasts as always were super, the honesty bar even more well stocked than last time. With views out the back to the grey Corries and the Ben, a perfect location.We are back again in August for sea kayaking, that was lost to the weather this time, and maybe the Ben. Planning to walk again next year.

gilllynch202011/15/2022 - TripAdvisora Highland home from home Dani and Cameron are excellent hosts, friendly and very accommodating. They have a really good knowledge of the area and told us information which was helpful and useful for planning our days out and our evening eating out.The rooms are very well equipped with all you need for a night away. The beds are comfortable, the showers powerful and the wifi is strong. There is a residents' lounge with a bar and the opportunity to chill out in the hot tub in the garden.There is a great choice at breakfast, the pancakes are a special favourite. Our vegan daughter was happily satisfied.The B and B is in a great location. We managed a day trip through spectacular scenery to Skye and have also visited Invernes , Loch Ness and Fort William from here. The surrounding mountains and hills are spectacular and there are walks suited to all ages and abilities ( Dani and Cameron were good at advising us of what was suitable for us.)well worth a visit.
Karen Watson11/06/2022 - GoogleWe stayed for 2 nights at Distant Hills.The house is beautiful, we felt very comfortable and settled from the get-go. Our booking was for a twin room, which we couldn't recall selecting, however, Dani offered to change us to a double without us asking, which we were very grateful of, it appeared to be no hassle.The room itself has everything you need, hairdryer and dressing table with chair for ladies (a must IMO), the ensuite was well equipped with plenty of towels (which happened to be the best towels we've ever had on holiday), plenty of toiletries should you need them, there are even cotton pads, buds and shower caps available.Our room looked onto the side garden which was just beautiful, lots of beautiful autumn colours and we could hear the wee waterfall trickling away when we opened the window, considering the house is on a road, there is absolutely no noise from the street heard anywhere in the house or when in the hot tub. The bed was so comfortable, and you are able to control the heating in your own room, which we liked.Breakfast - you pre-order breakfast... read moreWe stayed for 2 nights at Distant Hills.The house is beautiful, we felt very comfortable and settled from the get-go.

The bed was so comfortable, and you are able to control the heating in your own room, which we liked.Breakfast - you pre-order breakfast the day before, there is an excellent selection to choose from, we opted for a cooked breakfast the first day and could have had cereal or yoghurt and fruit also, which we didn't. The cooked breakfast set us up for the day and we didn't even need lunch as we were still content with what we had. The following day I opted for the homemade pancakes, which were the best I've ever had (Cam makes these from scratch), my partner had a cooked breakfast again. Every little detail is thought of, down to the individual mini blocks of butter wrapped in greaseproof paper (so cute).We enjoyed time in the hot tub on both nights of our stay and loved it, it's well maintained, and the setting is picturesque, beautifully lit with fairy lights and the pergola with table and chairs is perfect for hanging your towel or sitting drinks, phone etc. We had rain on the first night and couldn't even notice it once we were in as it was so warm, it was such a luxury. Hot tub towels are provided for each guest, again a nice touch.We spent time in the communal lounge area on our last night and got to meet other guests which was lovely. The honesty bar was a hit with all as it appeared to have everything that was needed. You pay for what you use on leaving.The hosts Dani and Cam couldn't do enough for us, but also gave the guests space and privacy. At breakfast they are so attentive and have tons of local knowledge and were able to give us recommendations for dinner and for walks nearby, which we appreciated.Our recommendation to fellow travellers is to dine at the Whispering Pine Lodge, we enjoyed our meal very much, as did other guests we spoke to. Also, visit the Commando Memorial which is a short drive or walk from the house, worth a visit if you enjoy history, but also for the uninterrupted views of the Nevis Range.Dani told us that Distant Hills is often used as a stopover for travellers heading to or from Skye, but I can honestly say I would go back and stay 2 or more nights again, as we managed to do lots nearby and still enjoy the house.In just one day, we managed to go to the Highland Wildlife Park, Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns, Loch Ness and other wee pit stops on the road back to the house. There are so many spots for those who love photography or just to admire the Scottish scenery.Our overall experience was perfect, and we will definitely stay again. Can't recommend it highly enough. The hosts definitely made it for us. read less

Diane10/16/2022 - BookingA relaxing stay in a beautiful location with wonderful hosts. 😀 - The hosts Dani and Cameron were so very friendly and accommodating which created a lovely relaxed atmosphere amongst all the guests. The room was well thought out with welcome small touches such as a multi plug adaptor on the bedside table thereby avoiding the usual inconvenience of having phones on charge in various sockets around the room! The breakfast was delicious and good quality local produce was used. 😞 - Nothing.

If you’re thinking of travelling for business, leisure or for any other reason, please ensure you go to Distant Hills guesthouse in Spean Bridge! It’s the home from home, you never knew you had! We can’t wait to come back again next year!
Grace Buckley10/07/2022 - GoogleWonderful accommodation. Dani and Cameron are fantastic friendly hosts who really enjoy getting to know their guests and improve their stay. We arrived without anything planned for our day and Dani took the time to help us plan a great itinerary for the day. Great location too, with lots of good sightseeing around. Delicious breakfast options as well.
Madison Lane10/07/2022 - GoogleI stayed at Distant Hills my very first night in the Highlands, and could not have asked for a more welcoming introduction. Dani and Cameron were kind and accommodating every step of the way - from providing pre-arrival tips and suggestions (because of their suggestion I also took an archery lesson up the road during my afternoon there!), to being greeted with smiles and anything I could possibly need the moment I walked in the door, to an above and beyond breakfast that really made me feel like I mattered to them as a human, not just a faceless paying customer. They were eager to provide - be it suggestions, comforts, or friendly conversation. I would emphatically recommend Distant Hills to anyone and everyone, hands down.
Laura Patience10/07/2022 - GoogleStayed for one night while walking the Great Glen Way. Dani and Cameron are lovely hosts, so friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, breakfast delicious and having use of the garden in the sunshine was great after a day of walking! Highly recommended!
Gordon W Bettany10/07/2022 - GoogleCameron and Dani made us welcome from the start, we had just finished a wonderful day, long in the planning, fantastic in the events and needed, comfort, warmth and a peaceful nights rest. We didn't arrive at Distant Hills until 10pm and to be honest were knackered, thankfully our hosts had been very thoughtful and the room was perfect, the comfortable bed sublime, we both had a great nights sleep and awoke to the gentle wafting smells from the kitchen. Our room was very well appointed with very thoughtful extra's, lots of detail and the bathroom excellent. After chatting with Cameron and Dani, we sat down to a gorgeous breakfast which we ate at leisure and when ready packed and hit the road. Were will definitely return and recommend Distant Hills Guest House to anyone travelling in the area.
Slam J10/05/2022 - TripAdvisorNumber one, de toute évidence Mais quel accueil incroyable ! Dani nous a rendu immédiatement le sourire après sept heures de marche ! Nulle part ailleurs nous n'avons été accueillis aussi chaleureusement. Dani connaissait déjà nos prénoms. L'endroit est magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de bon goût. Les chambres sont très propres et confortables. Le salon avec minibar "à la confiance" est très agréable. Nous n'avons pas pu profiter du jacuzzi, faute de maillots. Le breakfast à la carte est excellent. Nos hôtes ont été exceptionnels et très serviables : ils nous ont réservé un restaurant in extremis, à deux pas de là, nous ont proposé un lunch pour la randonnée du lendemain et nous ont amené au départ pour nous faire économiser les 6km Inutiles le long de la route. Cet endroit mérite sa place de numéro 1.
Colin10/04/2022 - BookingExceptional B&B 😀 - We had a wonderful stay with the best hosts ever - they are so kind and welcoming! The property is spotless inside and out - everything from the common spaces, to the room, hot tub, and breakfast area were meticulously cared for by Dani and Cameron. They offer a variety of delicious local choices for breakfast and our stay was quiet, super comfortable, relaxing and accessible for great hiking. Would highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting a luxurious B&B stay. 😞 - Nothing - it's perfect!

yvonandreanne9/22/2022 - TripAdvisorUne expérience fantastique En treck pour 8 jours, notre arrêt au Distant Hills pour un soir fut le meilleur hébergement de tout notre treck ! Un des meilleur B&B à vie. L'accueuil est exceptionnel, on se sent chez soi dès l'arrivée. La chambre est très belle et très bien équipée. La cour arriere (avec spa disponible) et le salon commun sont vraiment agréables, beaux endroits de détente. Offre des alcools à prix très corrects. Le meilleurs petit-déjeuners de notre voyage. Décidément, les propriétaires, Danny et Cameron sont des hôtes vraiement sympathiques à visiter. Andréanne et Yvon from Canada (thanks for the real maple sirop 😉
Rita G9/18/2022 - TripAdvisorSimply brilliant Fantastic place, brilliant welcome from Cameron and Dani, and the breakfast was simply superb! I would recommend Distant Hills to anyone, you will not be disappointed. The only bad thing is that we were only there for one night, should have stayed longer!
Uzor Kiraly9/18/2022 - TripAdvisorFantastic and cute We just finished the breakfast. Scramble egg with salmon… Amazing! Lovely accommodation. Everything nice, comfortable, clean. Owners Dani and Can are very nice. They pay attentions on details. Guest house has good location. I just can recommend to couples or family….
McD_HU9/18/2022 - TripAdvisorTHE place to stay in Spean Bridge What can I say. Cam and Dani have the most amazing place in Spean Bridge, we rented out the whole place and were made very welcome from the very beginning. We’d read about the breakfast and they didn’t disappoint, 5 stars in every respect. Just wish we could have stayed longer. When we are back in the area there is no question we will be back at Distant Hills!
Alberto Domingo9/07/2022 - GoogleEstupendo bed and breakfast cerca de Ben Nevis. Hemos estado muy a gusto. La habitación y el baño un poco pequeños, pero agradables y confortables. El desayuno muy abundante y bueno. Cameron y Dani fueron unos estupendos anfitriones, siempre dispuestos a dar un consejo con una sonrisa! Volveremos!
Caron Hanna9/07/2022 - GoogleWe were on a driving holiday around the NC500. Spean Bridge is a great location, so many local tourist attractions. Dani and Cameron were great hosts in the Distant Hills Guest House. Lovely rooms, with very good facilities. A really tasty breakfast as well. We especially liked the guest lounge, very relaxing. It was a good way to get chatting to other guests. We will definitely be back to Distant Hills.
Mike Wiltshire9/07/2022 - GoogleThis was a personal leisure visit. The hosts Danni and Cameron are excellent - the rooms are perfect, beds are loverly but mate your brekkies are out of this world, What a fantastic stay - we only stay up the road in Inverness but will be back 🙂 Goto the Stronlossit Inn for dinner in Roy Bridge - also very good and casual

Ann Morton9/07/2022 - GoogleMy sister in law and I stayed for one night in a twin room. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The little extras like the nice toiletries and the tunnocks tea cakes were very much appreciated. The hosts are lovely and very friendly. Breakfast was great with lots to choose from. The breakfast haggis was very nice. Definitely recommend Distant Hills if you are looking for accommodation at Spean Bridge.
Rhisa Muse8/07/2022 - Google5/5 I would highly recommend this lovely spot if you are headed through Spean Bridge. The hosts, Danni and Cameron, went above and beyond for us. Our train was canceled which required we stay an extra few hours. They chatted with us and let us use relax in their beautiful backyard as we waited for our train.The rooms were great, but there is also a bonus living room area for the guests with access to a small bar and snacks (for purchase)…super useful as Spean Bridge is a very tiny town. Lastly, they have a hot tub which is great after a long hike.Oh & breakfast was delicious. Best one we had in Scotland!

Nicola Norris8/07/2022 - GoogleSaw this on Four in a Bed & wanted to see if it was as good as it appeared to be on the programme. Result- if anything it was better, Dani & Cameron are the perfect hosts, nothing is too much trouble & they are a font of knowledge about the area and so willing to share this. Our room was immaculate, everything in there you could need, the breakfasts were perfectly cooked & there was plenty of food, the honesty bar is well stocked & although it rained for most of our trip we managed to use the hot tub which was the icing on the cake. I went to celebrate (belatedly) my 60th birthday and I couldn't have found a better place to do it. Thank you to you both.
Alec Fraser8/07/2022 - GoogleStayed for just one night. Very comfortable and an excellent breakfast. Our room had all the facilities we would desire. The best one night stop in our tour round western mainland of Scotland. Cameron and Dani are very positive and helpful. Would recommend for one night or one week. They also provide hot tub and bicycle hire and guided walks
Jen Murray8/07/2022 - GoogleWe had a lovely comfortable stay at Distant Hills. Cameron and Dani were perfect hosts, so kind and obliging. We only had a very short stay this time but hopefully we will come back for a longer stay next time.
Denise Walker8/07/2022 - GoogleCameron and Dani are very special people, and they made our holiday!Thank you for the real sense of warmth (the hug) that you and your guest house exudes, the exceptional service, fantastic breakfasts, and being fantastic tourist guides. You are exceptional.
Alexander Walker8/07/2022 - GoogleThis was our first trip to Scotland and Distant Hills is a great location to explore lots of areas, on the doorstep or short/long car rides away.Distant Hills itself is also great. Cameron and Dani are two of the nicest people you are likely to ever meet. They make you feel very welcome as soon as you walk in the door. They have lots of suggestions for what to do during your stay as their local knowledge is brilliant. Their enthusiasm is contiguous without being over the top or false. If you want to walk on flat ground, climb mountains, or sit in a cafe they can guide you to good places.The rooms are well designed and decorated nicely with very comfortable beds. The communal guest lounge with comfy sofas and honesty bar is also really comfortable and then there's the lovely garden to sit in as well as the hot tub.We stayed for three nights and had a different breakfast each morning and all were delicious with fresh local products.Really good value for money.Thank you Cameron and Dani, hospitality at hit's best
Kim Barden8/07/2022 - GoogleDistant Hills is tidy and sparkling clean with beautiful decor. We ordered takeaway and took advantage of dining in their charming gardens. We enjoyed the wine, beer, and cider (from the honesty bar) with our meal. For our breakfast, there was a variety of options. We enjoyed the pancakes, smoked salmon & eggs, and the full Scottish breakfast. Dani and Cameron were wonderful hosts!

At your service all the way! Love you guys 😊Natasja&Rob from Holland
Becca Krensler7/07/2022 - GoogleWe had the most fantastic stay at Distant Hills. We were immediately greeted with warmth and hospitality. I left a not to let the hosts know that my husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon and we each received a glass of Prosecco upon arrival and Cameron helped us book reservations at a local restaurant since we hadn’t had a chance to call. Breakfast was also delicious! It was overall just a very sweet and relaxing place to spend our first night in Scotland. Thank you!!

David Bowen7/07/2022 - GoogleAn absolutely fantastic guest house! There is plenty of parking available for guests and the whole property is spotless. The bedrooms have all the necessary amenities and there is a lovely lounge area with an honesty bar. This includes ales from a local brewery, some spirits, wines, mixers, soft drinks and some snacks. There are also several seating areas in the well kept garden and a hot tub. The breakfasts are first class using high quality local ingredients. The location is also very good with lots of nearby places to visit. The hosts, Cameron and Dani, are superb. They go out of their way to make you feel at home and will do anything they can to help you. Very highly recommended, I will definitely be returning.
Barbara Bowen7/07/2022 - GoogleDistant Hills is a very well maintained Guest House set in spacious grounds. It is an ideal place to stay if you are looking for quiet, peaceful surroundings within walking distance to the village, restaurants and amenities. Various visitor attractions are accessible by car such as Fort William, Loch Linnhe and Ben Nevis, along with many more! Dani and Cameron were perfect hosts, very helpful and informative, always happy to help and advise! Rooms are spotless, well equipped and have everything you need! Loved the good quality Scottish toiletries! There is a separate lounge and a well stocked honesty bar. Good choice of breakfast with all ingredients locally sourced. Cameron's full Scottish breakfast, excellent! We look forward to coming back and can see why they won 'Four in a Bed', well deserved!
Tim Wade6/07/2022 - GoogleWow, 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 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 🙂
Mark Hunter6/07/2022 - GoogleA 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.
Nikesh Gudka6/07/2022 - GoogleDani 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.
Charles Mclelland6/07/2022 - GoogleNot enough stars here to rate this property. Warmly received by Cameron & Dani on our arrival as they welcomed us into there immaculate guest house. All facilities & services were excellent, room was spotless, gardens manicured to perfection & breakfast was amazing.

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!
Bobby Scott6/07/2022 - GoogleThis is one of the very best guest houses we have stayed in over our many years of travelling. Dani and Cameron were wonderful hosts and it was a pleasure to spend time with them. The rooms were immaculate, breakfast was superb, the service we received was first class and during our stay we felt we were friends rather than guests. As we enjoy our walk along the Great Glen Way the stay at Distant Hills will certainly be a memorable highlight of our trip. I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough and if you are able to get a room there jump at the opportunity!
Arlene Taylor Crossland6/07/2022 - GoogleDistant Hills what a little gem of a place.We chose this place based on such complimentary reviews and we weren't disappointed.

Garden kept beautiful too with a little help from Martin who did a sterling job keeping the lawn trimmed😄.
Gregory Price6/07/2022 - GoogleGreat 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.
Ann Redstone6/07/2022 - GoogleWe 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.
Deborah Boschert-Davidson6/07/2022 - GoogleWonderful place to stay. Dani & Cameron are great host's and Cameron is an excellent cook. Worth staying the night just for breakfast.
