Very friendly and welcoming hosts. We felt at home immediately. The bath in the whirl pool after a day of walking was very relaxing. Also, the breakfast was delicious. Thank you Dani and Cameron! For everything and especially also for picking us up and dropping us off in Gairlochy. Hope to come back!

Distant Hills Guest House : We stayed here on 1 June whilst walking the Great Glen Way. Our hosts Danni and Cam were fantastic and helpful from arrival. Nothing seemed too much to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Room was very comfortable with all amenities you needed. Breakfast was provided with a fantastic choice to pick through and cooked to perfection. Our hosts provided a shuttle back to the starting point of the walk for the second day which was a great help. Our luggage was transferred between stays by a different company it is a big thank you to Danni and Cam for finding my walking pole and attaching to our luggage so it arrived for the next legThank you David

This B&B is a little gem. From the beginning to the end of our three night stay our hosts could not have been more hospitable. Their knowledge of the surrounding area is very valuable and they are happy to share this. The hot tub is a fantastic treat at the end of a long day of walking. The honesty bar was brilliant. The rooms spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious, especially the pancakes! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. Amanda McInnes

2-night stay whilst walking Great Glen Way. Professionally run guest house with great rooms and facilities. Immaculate. Breakfast and packed lunches delicious and generous. Host Dani and Cameron were friendly, welcoming and couldn’t have been more hospitable. Thank you!

Well we just completed our first little walking break with friends and I must say the accommodation was 2nd to none. Our hosts Cam & Dani were fantastic, the actual B&B itself was amazing and the rooms immaculate, spotless and extremely comfortable bed. The living room where we all relaxed in is amazing and has a great honesty bar. The dining area brilliant and the breakfast was outstanding with great choices. Absolutely loads of adventures close to the B&B. Must say if you can book the Ben Nevis Inn for an evening meal spectacular views in a great venue.

All I would say is go, go, go!!!! An amazing place made by Dani and Cameron. Their hospitality is second to non, food great, accommodation, jacuzzi brilliant and location is second to none. One of the best B&Bs we've stayed in. Thank you both for an exceptional walking break.

Very welcoming, great location, it's like being at home in someone elses home. The rooms are not the biggest but well presented with en suite. I was staying with Dani and Cameron for one of their walking holidays. Altogether, there were 10 of us taking part. You could not wish for a better prepared itinerary with a knowledgeable guide. I enjoyed it all so much. The food was amazing, with great breakfasts, packed lunches, afternoon cake and coffee, and the evening meal. I will be going back.😘

The ‘Distant’ Hills Are Alive,, if space available! After walking 10 rainy miles from Fort William to Spean Bridge along the Caledonian Canal, we phoned our B&B hostess Dani, who happily picked us up in her Jeep to bridge the final 5 mile stretch. We loved her friendly vibe immediately. We arrived at (almost surprisingly) the best B&B of our trip, Distant Hills Guest House. Honestly, the best B&B experience I have ever experienced. Should you ever be looking for excellent and somewhat rural accommodation outside of Fort Williams, please consider checking out the guest house of Dani and Cameron! From the friendly, organized, artful and welcoming space, to their “honor bar” in the sitting room, we found the common spaces as detailed and mindful as our bedrooms. Lovely recommendations for dinner, a 15 minute walk into Spean Bridge was excellent. The hike to nearby Commando Memorial was scenic and quite evocative!

We were walking the Great Glen Way. Dani picked us up from the trail and drove us 3 mile from the trail - we were really pleased to have booked Distant Hills so far from the trail because our stay there was exceptional. Dani & Cam were the perfect hosts not only because of the free taxi service from & back to the trail but because of their every attention to detail. The accommodation is immaculate, the guests garden & hot tub ( bring swimming gear ) a delight, breakfast varied and very very tasty. We can’t speak highly of enough of Distant Hills - a perfect place to be after a hard day walking

Great little gem in the Highlands.Dani and Cameron were great hosts and have made their home into a welcome retreat. Rooms are spacious and the guest lounge is comfortable with a bar. Their lovely garden had ample seating and a hot tub. Cam cooked a fantastic breakfast which set us up for the next days walking. Highly recommended.

Wow - Lived up to our high expectations We saw Distant Hills win Four in a bed in 2022 and decided that one day we would visit. Our stay certainly lived up to our high expectations. Dani and Cameron are wonderful hosts, our room was spotless and comfortable, breakfast was lovely with lots of choice and the guest lounge, honesty bar and hot tub in the beautiful garden are fab to come back to after a days sight seeing/walking. Dani has lots of advice and tips on places to visit in the beautiful area which was appreciated and helped us make the most of our time in the area. Thank you Dani and Cameron, hopefully we will be back one day. 😊 Ange and Simon x

Highly recommend this accomodation in Spean Bridge. We were walking the Great Glen Way and they will collect you from and drop you back to Gairlochy the next day. Very friendly and capable hosts, lovely rooms and communal lounge areas (with bar) for guests. Expansive garden with hot tub for guests to use. Delicious breakfast and packet lunches available if you are hiking like we were.

5+ star B&B with very welcoming hosts Had a fantastically comfortable and very friendly one-night stay whilst passing through on the Great Glen Way. I had a spotlessly clean room which, whilst it was small, mattered little as there was a vast lounge available for guests use (indeed I spent a lovely hour chatting with a fellow guest late into the evening). And the lounge includes a well-stocked bar (with honesty box). Breakfast was good with a satisfying cooked breakfast to set you on your way. And for a small nominal fee, they supplied a good pack lunch too. Spean Bridge is located some 5km from the Great Glen Way, there is nowhere to stay at Gairlochy (the natural breakpoint when walking this trail). So the owners offer a pickup and drop-off service if you're feet can't make it! And on top of that, they also have a hot tub available for guests - if a days walk has exhausted them! The only (small) point of note is that this is located a 10-minute walk from the centre of Spean Bridge so eating out does require a bit more walking. Overall, though this is 5-star guest house / b&b accommodation and a credit to the owners - well done!

It is a talent balancing efficiency with friendship, but Dani & Cam manage this superbly well and gave me a wonderful experience. Nothing was too much trouble. I was on a walking holiday which was tailored to fit both the weather and our (lack of) ability). The stay was wonderful (lots of lovely personal touches), with a comfortable room, great breakfasts and lovely company. The only problem is telling everyone how good it all is (they deserve more than 5 stars), as there might not be space for me next time.

My happiness place FOREVER!This review has been in the making for over three years and it started with me finding this gem! In the middle of a world gone pandemic while wishing for a place that looked quiet and peaceful… I found it! I found a website with a photo of someone overlooking the most beautiful scenery and said “I want to go THERE”!My husband and I ventured across the pond in October of 2022 to find this quaint bed and breakfast nestled in a small town called Speanbridge. Immediately we were greeted by our hosts, Dani and Cameron MacKinnon. They are so welcoming and caring that you feel like family immediately! We had booked a hard walk and to be honest..the “walking” was not so easy for us flat-country folks. But out in the elements, everybody worked together to help each other. The experience we had and friendship bonds we made are a testament to those 8 other hikers, our fabulous hosts and one damn fine guide named Dave LaMond! Back at the BnB it was always warm and cozy with a delicious home backed snack waiting post-hike to refuel. A little down time, then off to a superb dinner, coordinated all in advance, at a local eatery. Hot tub, fresh linens and even a nip from the honor bar if you wish. All amenities top notch!We were so changed by that whole experience AND with those beautiful people, that we re-booked… but not just us…9 out of 10 of the group was back again, in fall of 2023!I could write a book - in fact this is the fifth time I’ve written and re-written this. So, if you’ve read previous reviews - go back and read the excerpt from Dave Hanson. Dave was our ‘traveling author’ of sorts and told our first story in glorious detail!I cannot imagine what my life would be like without having met my new ‘Sister’ Dani and Cameron, Kevin and Ann, Tim and Karen, Belinda and Adam, Maureen, Dave H and again our most-awesome guide, Dave LaMond.If you want a life-changing experience with world-class service but want it to feel like home away from home… then you are there.. at Distant Hills ♥️♥️♥️

Happy Holiday at Distant Hills Had a great four night stay at Distant Hills. Dani and Cameron were superb hosts - welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Distant Hills is spotlessly clean, our room was really comfortable and there is a good selection for breakfast. The B&B is in an excellent location, we did lots of walking and visited local attractions such as Glenfinnan. We would definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you Dani and Cam!

We had the pleasure to stay with Dani & Cameron in May this year. Of all holidays and stays we have done traveling in the last years, Distant Hills was the most memorable experience. Dani & Cameron made us feel like staying over at good friends, just that their breakfast was three times as good! 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. You made our stay - and beyond - our trip truly special. All the best from the alps and see you again!

Totally wonderful. Dani & Cameron make you feel extremely welcome & very comfortable. Absolutely excellent from start to finish - lovely room, very relaxing. Choice of breakfast, cooked & served to perfection. Great view over a lovely garden & trickling stream. Hot tub & use of lovely lounge with local beer, gin & other drinks should you wish. Dani & Cameron exude a positive & welcoming vibe that really makes your stay a lovely experience. Great venue to explore locally - Ben Nevis, commando memorial, amazing walking, distillery. We even saw the northern lights!

I stayed one night only as I was walking the Great Glen. I wish I had more there. 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.

Exceptional 😀 - Warm welcome; good regional advice from hosts; very quiet location; fine position for driving or walking into Highlands and islands; well-cooked breakfasts to start the day and a good bar featuring local beers and whisky for those who want a dram. Particular mention, a very kind response by the hosts to helping another guest. 😞 - No faults.

We highly recommend this place.First, it’s a charming cosy nest decorated with good taste and we immediately felt like home when we arrived. Everything is very clean and so comfortable. Rooms are quiet and lovely, beds are comfortable. everything is at disposal even the access to the Jaccuzi which is really appreciable after a long day hiking or walking.Second, Cam and Dani are the perfect hosts, always smiling, with such great recommandation for dinners and places to see (even when we ask to see highland cows 😂). Their breakfast is amazing with fresh products.We were a bit sad to spend only 2 nights, their perfect little nest worth definitely to come.

Stopped here with my brother when walking the great glen way for one night. All I can do is repeat all the other good reviews. The hosts made us very welcome. If I'm up that way again with my wife it would be the first place I'd look to stay. By the way, I watched their four in a bed episode and I can only say the place is even better now.

Quite 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 !

Best 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.

We 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.

Perfect !!! 😀 - 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

Moderate 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.

Exceptional 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.

Stayed 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!

Distant 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!

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 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 5 * experience all the way! Dani and Cameron offer the very best guest experience possible and you are made to feel special and welcome in their beautiful home. From the high thread count, quality bed linen to Camerons world class breakfast pancakes, they really have considered all their guests needs. I really wanted to explore the local area and they generously took me hillwalking to Chia-Aig waterfalls - stunning!! Their hilarious humour, kind natures and a real want to make guests enjoy their stay makes Distant Hills a genuinely lovely place to rest your head for the night/week in Spean Bridge . Merci Dani and Cameron

Fantastic place to stay. Lovely hosts, perfect location, great rooms and brilliant breakfast. We stayed here to do the Jacobite and to go up Ben Nevis, perfect location for both, would highly recommend staying here. Some lovely restaurants within walking distance and just a short drive into Fort William. Amazing views.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

Our return visit to Distant Hills did not disappoint. Dani and Cameron are fabulous hosts who go out of their way to give their guests the best experience.Everywhere is spotlessly clean. The guest lounge is a lovely place to relax and look out onto the beautiful garden with views beyond, while enjoying a drink from the well stocked bar. All rooms are individually furbished to a high standard with comfy bed, fluffy towels and locally sourced toiletries.Breakfast is an absolute delight with many options to set you up for the day. 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.

The perfect hosts, immaculate accommodation and gardens Cam and Danni were superb hosts during our overnight stay during Great Glen Way walk. Immaculate accommodation throughout. Well established large rear garden was breathtaking and very peaceful especially whilst enjoying a drink from their bar stocked with a range of locally produced spirits. Delicious breakfast. A welcomed lift back to Gairlochy to resume our walking trip. Would definitely stay there again during future visits to explore the local area.

Superb Walking Week A wonderful week’s walking in the Highlands with the great company of like-minded outdoor folk, superb hosts and a very friendly and knowledgeable young mountain guide, Louis. Everything had been thought of by our lovely hosts, Cameron and Dani, from the free welcome drink on arrival, the superb accommodation, excellent breakfasts, packed lunches and evening meal arrangements on all walking days. What really made this holiday special was the sense of camaraderie that developed within the whole group, our hosts and the mountain guide. We all had an amazing fun time together. Whether you fancy a fully organised walking holiday, or just an excellent guest house to base yourselves whilst exploring this amazing area on your own, I cannot recommend Distant Hills too highly.

Fantastic Guest House in Spean Bridge Our return visit to Distant Hills did not disappoint. Dani and Cameron are fabulous hosts who go out of their way to give their guests the best experience.

Brilliant breakfast! 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 are mountain experts and know 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.

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.

Fantastic hotel Fantastic place to stay. Lovely hosts, perfect location, great rooms and brilliant breakfast. We stayed here to do the Jacobite and to go up Ben Nevis, perfect location for both, would highly recommend staying here. Some lovely restaurants within walking distance and just a short drive into Fort William. Amazing views.

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.

Highly recommended Stayed three lovely nights here and couldn’t have asked for more. Our room and en-suite was spotlessly clean and well-maintained with a view out on the beautiful garden. Breakfast was excellent with three different options and generous portions. Everything was well organised to ensure social distancing was maintained but never felt rushed or overbearing. Dani and Cameron are wonderful hosts full of local tips and knowledge. They really made us feel welcome and comfortable in their home and made it known that they were always available if we needed help. There’s lots of little touches all around the house that show a real sense of care. Speen Bridge is also a great location, perfect for exploring the local area with two restaurants (one of which we dined at) within walking distance. It was our first time in the Fort William area so we don’t have anything to compare to but the price we paid seems very reasonable for our experience and we’ll certainly book at Distant Hills again if we’re back in the area.

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.

Highland Walking We have never walked in the Highlands but from now on it’s going to be a fixture. We went on the first guided walking holiday at Distant Hills and it was amazing. The soft spoken Dave was our knowledgable guide and he took the group on three walks which could not have been more different. My favourite was to the bothy on the golden shore of Loch Arkaig spotting a herd of red deer on the walk in and having a doze in the sun with my boots off listening to the oystercatchers. I’m back there as I write this... But Dani and Cam also gave us expert walk recommendations for the other days after our group walks ended. Top of those was the full day ridge walk up Stob Ban which looks across to Ben Nevis but is so much more than an up and back. And where we saw ptarmigan! It might only be 990m but when you start at sea level there’s as much uppiness as you’ll get on an average day on the TMB. And of course the whole point of walking is to be able to eat a huge breakfast and even bigger dinner and collapse into a comfy bed - and that’s where Distant Hills is tops. Dani and Chef Cameron produced amazing breakfasts in a perfectly synchronised service and Dani’s dinners celebrated local produce imaginatively presented. The big lounge was ideal to chillax in and chat to other members of the group, until time for bed in our toasty and spotless bedroom. We’ll be back in 2021! Thank you both for making us so welcome. Simon and Lesley.

Felt very welcomed. Stayed here on the second night of our GGW walk and was very well looked after. During these different times Danni was a fantastic host and we we were warmly welcomed to the guest house, with all the covid info explained. Breakfast was a real treat and the pancakes that my wife had were one the highlights of herr holiday , good work chef! Would love to come back and possibly get involved with the walking holiday ideas they are offering,

Very warm welcome Stayed B&B after walking the Great Glen Way, nothing was to much for Danni And Cameron , lovely comfortable beds essential after a days hiking, great full Scottish breakfast and Oh did I mention the Snowgoose lager served from there licensed bar, To quench our thirst sat in there lovely garden Thanks for a wonderful stay.Graham and David

Organised walking holiday We joined Cameron and Dani’s first organised walking holiday. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and walked on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The holiday included 4 breakfasts and 3 three course dinners as well as home made cake each day when we got back from our walk. All the food was excellent - we particularly enjoyed Cameron’s home made porridge at breakfast. The walks were organised to suit the ability of all participants and adapted to suit the rainy conditions on Tuesday. They were expertly led by David Lamond, very knowledgable and happy to answer any questions. I would definitely recommend the walking holidays and also using Distant Hills as a base for touring the area. Dani and Cameron are excellent hosts, nothing was too much bother. We’ll certainly be back.

Perfect finale to our Scotland trip Stayed for 3 nights at the end of a 2-week holiday and it could not have been a better finale! Our room was great and breakfast excellent (recommend black pudding & haggis or Cameron's pancakes). The guest bar and sharing boards are very handy if you do not want to go out after a day out walking. Dani and Cameron are great hosts and being fans of the outdoors themselves gave us some excellent advice for activities in the area. We will be coming back for certain!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Highlight of our Scotland Holiday This was the highlight of our Scotland holiday. Great accommodation. Spotlessly clean, Covid aware and safe. Brilliant freshly made breakfast and the option for sharing platters and drinks in the evening, which is welcome after a day on the mountains at reasonable prices. Brilliant and friendly local knowledge to allow any guest get the best out of the perfect location. Excellent walking/cycling/outdoor fun locally and the upcoming walking holidays sound amazing. Absolute 5 star Dani and Cameron. Many thanks, we will be back. Highly, totally and 100% recommended. Look forward to the walking holidays.

Great but brief stay With the apprehension of staying in ‘unfamiliar’ accommodation during the current pandemic, how B&Bs are reacting and dealing with its prevention is obviously a concern. This accommodation was faultless and our host’s attention to cleanliness and complying with Horrid-19 guidelines put us completely at ease. Dani and Cameron were friendly, sincere and very professional. We felt very welcome, very comfortable and very well fed ! We wish we could’ve stayed for longer (the downside of walking the great Glen Way) Thanks for a great stay, and good luck for the future. (The Birch - Micheldore party, 6th Sept)

totally brilliant B and B Dani and Cameron are the most welcoming B&B hosts ever and my friend and I with our wayward make-a-plan-up-on-the-day approach couldn't have been luckier to meet them. The B&B is so clean smart but also cosy and warm, the breakfasts are super mega yummy and route advice / general encouragement for hill walking was brilliant 🙂 They are also really good with appropriate covid measures while not letting that interfere at all with your enjoyment of the place which is a real skill I think. I will be going back. Highly recommended. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The best guest house on the west coast. I recently took a group of 6 clients on a trip to Fort William to go hill walking and through a friends recommendation, decided to book at Distant Hills. When we arrived we were greeted by Jock and Danny who are two very friendly and helpful people. Even though we had dirty kit and boots, they were very accommodating given that this is one of the cleanest and nicely renovated b&b’s I have been to. The lounge is very snug and cosy with tea, coffee and cakes offered straight away. The breakfast is incredible, none of us could finish what was on offer and the quality of the food was not sacrificed for quantity. Great people, the rooms are very modern and classy (not what you usually get on the West Coast) and the price is very affordable. I can not recommend Distant Hills enough. Enjoy your stay.

A Highlight of Scotland I stayed with Dani and Cameron at Distant Hills in mid-December to use as a base for winter walking. They happily accommodated me after a long drive with an enthusiastic welcome and a beautiful room with a view of Aonach Mor from the bedroom window. It was an ease to stay here given its stylish, modern and comfortable twist to a normal B&B. The traditional Scottish breakfast Cameron made was impressive to say the least, maybe thanks to his Scottish heritage. They both had huge amounts of knowledge of the local area and mountains so they could successfully advise where I should walk in the mountains and which restaurants to visit. The Spar down the road was useful for snacks for the day and Fort William, only a 15 minute drive away, provided everything else I might need, including a number of outdoor equipment stores. Dani and Cameron are wonderfully generous people with big hearts and even bigger stories! I could not recommend Distant Hills Guest House more. I look forward to staying there again soon.

Fantastic guest house in great location Having spoken to Dani on the phone before our arrival it already felt as though we were going to visit friends. On arrival we were given a very warm welcome and shown around the accommodation which is spotlessly clean and has a very homely feel to it. We had a lovely room (with ample storage space including a wardrobe with plenty of hangers!) overlooking the garden which has views to Grey Corries and Aonach Mor. The bed was very comfortable with good quality linen. The luxury toiletries include body lotion, the towels are fluffy and are on a heated towel rail. Not only is there a large mirror in the bathroom, there is also a full length mirror in the room as well as another mirror conveniently placed near to the hairdryer. The room also has tea & coffee making (decaf and more), ample socket outlets and WiFi. I liked that we could control the heating ourselves. There is a large comfortable lounge for guests that overlooks the garden. A range of magazines are available and there is an abundance of books of local information and history. After a long journey to Distant Hills we were able to walk to a local restaurant where we had a lovely meal and then enjoy the lounge after walking back. It is a lovely space to relax in after a day out. Breakfast is an amazing treat! We were offered a full range of fruit juices, a choice of cereals, fresh fruits, berries and yoghurt or porridge which is soaked overnight. There is a choice of 3 different cooked breakfasts and as we stayed for 3 nights we were able to sample them all. My favourite is Cameron's scotch pancakes! Distant Hills is the perfect location for exploring. Using Spean Bridge as a centre it is easy to reach Fort William and Oban. In the opposite direction are Fort Augustus, Loch Ness, the Caledonian Canal and Inverness. If you want to explore westwards you can reach Mull, Skye and the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. The Nevis range is very close by and Aviemore and the Cairngorms are also in reach. Dani and Cameron are looking to develop organised walks for their guests which will be great for those who want to enjoy walking in the beautiful Scottish highlands without having to plan the route themselves. To sum up, this is a first class guest house with a large car park and WiFi throughout. It is immaculately clean and comfortable and the attention to detail is quite amazing. Dani and Cameron are a professional, friendly couple with high standards who genuinely love what they do. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you and we very much look forward to seeing you both again. We wish you both every success. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Superb Guest House with top class hosts. Distant Hills is right out of the top drawer. Immaculate, extremely comfortable and well furnished with every facility you might need for a short or long stay. In Dani and Cam you have hosts who offer the most genuine and warm welcome. Nothing is too much trouble and they offer a personal service second to none. Whilst many such owners might offer a most professional service you feel that with Dani and Cam that it does come from the heart and they clearly love what they do. Long may it continue. Cam does the cooking and offers a variety of breakfasts to suit every taste - exceptional. Great location for touring/hill-walking and cycling.

Distant Hill Guest House September 2019 This is our 3rd year staying at Distant Hills Guest House while walking the Great Glen Way. New owners Cameron and Dani are wonderful, friendly hosts and very kind, thank you for picking us up and dropping us back down to Gairlochy to continue our GGW walk. Very quiet Guest House which is great when you have a days walking ahead of you in the morning. Will be back next year. Dick & Jackie Watson

Many Happy Returns! I’ve stayed at Distant Hills many times over the years under both the present and previous managements. Comfortable and well-appointed bedrooms and generous and tasty breakfasts. And Spean Bridge is such a strategic location for hillwalking or just touring. What’s not to like?

Superb My friends and I stayed here for one night whilst walking the Great Glen Way. The rooms were spotless, breakfast excellent and the hosts went out of their way to help us. A great B&B and well worth a visit.

The perfect spot to start your Great Glen Way walking tour My sister and I wanted to walk Scotland. We chose the Great Glen Way and we started our tour after a night at the Distant Hills Guest House. What an incredible treat! We were spoiled from the moment we walked in the door. Our rooms were outfitted with careful attention to everything a guest might need. It was wonderful to be treated with luxury before setting out for our first walk the next day. There was no need to pack a lunch for the full day of walking because the breakfast was scrumptious and filling. Really...Distant hills is a great find and a Scottish delight.

A pleasure to stay at Distant Hills This is our second visit to Distant Hills, we stayed a couple of years ago whilst walking the Great Glen way and were extremely well looked after by Peter and Lesley. As we were travelling up to Skye this year we decided to spend a couple of nights at Distant Hills again and explore the area by car to look around the places we couldn't see whilst walking. Once again it didn't disappoint, the rooms were spotless and the breakfasts cooked to order were excellent. When discussing one of our trips up to Inverness Lesley suggested a scenic route back down the far side of Loch Ness which I wouldn't have considered and it was great. It's that friendy and approachable relationship that makes all the difference when staying somewhere you aren't familiar with. We would certainly return if touring up towards the HIghlands again.

Great BB We had a one night stay here whilst walking the Great Glen Way. The rooms were furnished to a really high standard and very comfortable with a great shower. There was a lovely guest sitting room and garden. The breakfast was delicious. The full Scottish or scrambled egg with salmon are recommended. The eggs are delicious as they have their own hens. Peter, our host was very friendly and kindly collected us from the end point of our walk and dropped us back the following morning. We would love to return.

Great Place for a Short Break I stayed at this B&B for three nights while touring in and round Fort William. There are seven en-suite twin/double rooms many with views over the garden. The rooms are not huge but each is nicely furnished with all the facilities and more required for a short stay. A highlight was the superb breakfast served with a choice of options from locally sourced ingredients. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the owners, Peter & Lesley, who were attentive to my needs during breakfast and throughout my stay. Spean Bridge is a small village but there are several excellent restaurants within walking distance of the B&B and more a short car ride away. Fort William has more extensive facilities and is approximately 10 miles from the village.

Excellent B&B - Thoroughly recommend Couldn't speak more highly of Distant Hills, it really is excellent. We arrived tired, wet and bedraggled after a rainy day of walking the Great Glen Way and immediately were made to feel very welcome and were so well looked after during our stay. The room was perfect and the breakfast superb (do not miss out on the porridge!) Thoroughly recommend.

Only good things to say! My wife and I were walking The Great Glen Way. At the end of a long day, Peter kindly picked us up at Gairlochy and took us to Spean Bridge. Lovely welcome, spotlessly clean, comfortable room, warm but not too hot, and a fresh, delicious breakfast before being transported back onto the trail next morning. Brilliant!

Brilliant B&B, Brilliant Breakfast Arrived at Distant Hills after walking 16.5 miles from Fort William. Firstly Lesley was tremendously helpful in trying to track down our luggage which hadn't turned up. The room was really comfortable with lovely thoughtful touches like Scottish Tunnock's biscuits. The breakfast was amazing (beautifully presented and delicious), traditional local produce and all homemade. We also chose to take one of their helpfully offered packed lunches for our next day's walking (yummy Flapjack)!Thank you so much Lesley and Peter for your hospitality.

Best Breakfast Ever! Not only are the rooms excellent and owners exceptional, Distant Hills features fresh eggs produced by beautiful chickens, homemade breads, marmalades and jams. The entire breakfast menu is a gourmet dining experience. Distant Hills also features a large garden and is within walking distance to restaurants and the Spean Bridge woolen mill.

Great place. We only stayed here for one night as we were walking across on the great glen way but we would have loved to stay longer. Nice rooms and great breakfast. And great service and atmosphere. There is not much of a view but that seems to be the norm in speen bridge.

Bag a brilliant breakfast An exceptional choice for breakfast ranging from traditional fry-up to scrambled-egg-and-smoked salmon and a cheese platter, all served very nicely and efficiently. And the porridge is something else. Four hungry men getting ready for a day's hillwalking, we tried and enjoyed the lot! Peter and Lesley looked after us very nicely an we were particulaly grateful for getting our sodden clothes dry

Best breakfast on the Great Glen Way! Peter was very welcoming and informative as we chatted in the car on the way to and from the stopping point on the GGW. Distant Hills is a bungalow, so no need to lug your suitcases up the stairs. Breakfast is important when you're out walking all day, but as I'm not a fan of a cooked breakfast, for most of the trip I had to fill up on cereal and toast. Distant Hills had a wonderful option - homemade Scotch pancakes with warm maple syrup and berries. Oh my, it was delicious!

Warm and inviting My wife and I were walking the "Great Glen Way". Distant hills was on our itinerary for the night. We could have called on our mobile for a pickup about five km away, but since we were a little early decided to finish the day walking. Our instructions from the walking company to find this accommodation were a little wonky, but we actually arrived there sooner than we expected. We were greeted at the door of this modern guest house and immediately treated like friends. Our room and the bed were comfy, and our breakfast in the morning was superior. Our hostess also recommended a place to eat , and when we decided, she made a reservation for us. The meal was superb. When we were ready to go in the morning, we had a lift back to the original finishing point from the day before. It was all good!

Excellent BnB - great quality and helpful owners With friends walking the East (not West!) Highland Way from Fort William to Aviemore - stayed here for 3 nights whilst doing the first 3 sections of the EHW. This BnB is high quality in terms of accommodation and also food - the variety at breakfast is brilliant and lots of homemade breads etc. Highly recommended.

UNDERSTATED PERFECTION I and my friends had the absolute pleasure of staying overnight at Distant Hills while walking the Great Glen Way. Met by the owner at Drumlochy and driven to Spean Bridge we were welcomed into a modern, bright stylish house - no dated furniture, no garish carpets and curtains, no dull interior. The rooms were spacious and the ensuites well proportioned. We were offered tea/coffee and home made cakes in the comfortable lounge. What a joy! Nothing has been left to chance; our wet clothing was taken away for drying while a boot rack in the vestibule took our boots - there was even newspaper available to stuff into our footwear. Had the weather been sunny we were welcome to sit in the delightful garden, enjoy a wine (glasses would have been provided) and spot the many birds which frequented the area. The guests were made to feel that Distant Hills was their home; relax and enjoy. The tea tray in the bedrooms as a pleasure; modern crockery, choice of teas, coffees as well as hot chocolate. A bottle of fresh water in a non-plastic bottle only added to the pleasure. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. An array of fruits, rhubarb, nuts, seeds, delicious natural yogurt, cereals, honey were tastefully set out in brightly coloured ceramic bowls. My scrambled eggs and salmon (we were asked to make our breakfast choice the previous night) was cooked to perfection; the added 2 oatcakes and finely chopped parsley sprinkled in a straight line over the cooked food made for visual perfection - and tasted good, too! The information book in the rooms was a delight; bound in an attractive folder all items were indexed, easy to find and read and relevant; DVDs, local areas of interest, local history, bus and travel details, local wildlife - and a request to watch out for those pine martins who terrorised the chickens! Something this good does not happen by chance; a lot of effort and refinement has gone into making Distant Hills the absolute pleasure to stay in that it was. Without doubt the very best that not only Spean Bridge, but Scotland, can offer to its visitors Distant Hills is a triumph.

Scottish hospitality that's hard to beat We stayed at a number of B&B's along the Great Glen Way. It's always a joy discovering one that's particularly memorable and this was it! There was nothing that hadn't been thought of. I was particularly pleased to have a lovely fresh bottle of water in the room after a long day's walking. The owner kindly picked us up from the Caledonian Canal and dropped us back in the morning despite a very busy schedule. Above all else I will remember the sumptuous breakfast of freshly made pancakes smothered in berries. I've never seen it on a B&B breakfast menu before and it was just one more special touch that makes a stay at Distant Hills outstanding.

VERY GOOD WITH GRACIOUS HOSTS We arrived at Spean Bridge station and thought we had about a mile walk to our guest house but once we arrived in the parking lot there was peter who was the owner of the distant hills guest house. This is a very nice place within walking distance to the train station. The rooms are nicely furnished and there is a large common area for guests. there is also free wi fi. The breakfast was outstanding like most the breakfasts we experienced in Scotland. This facility was arranged by Mac's adventure. They selected very good B/B's as we moved along our trip in Scotland. also very quiet

High quality BB Stayed here overnight on way to Skye, had an excellent stay, quality furnishings in bedrooms, decor fresh, nice lounge overlooking garden. Spean Bridge is a small village just north of Fort William,however there are quite a few restaurants within walking distance of B&B. Breakfast was fantastic, various choice choices and local high quality ingredients used. I would highly recommend staying here.

They have thought of everything We stayed at Distant Hills for one night while walking the Great Glen Way and turned up like drowned rats. Peter gave us a very friendly welcome and whisked our wet clothing away for drying which we really appreciated. Our room was very comfortable, clean and well equipped but the little touches which made it special were nice big towels, good lighting and blinds at the windows so we could get a good night's sleep. A lot of other very good B&Bs can't manage these things. There was plenty of information about the local area available and the hosts seemed to have things very well organised. There was a spacious and comfortable guest lounge looking out to a garden. Breakfast was especially good with some unusual additions and I can recommend the pancakes. All the food seemed to be of high quality and beautifully presented. We had packed lunches prepared for us and these were very good and included homemade cake which was an unexpected treat. There was a relaxed atmosphere at Distant Hills and I would have felt comfortable asking for anything but of course we didn't have to as they have thought of everything!

24 day tour of Britain - Distant Hills was simply the best. Peter and Lesley are a super team providing top quality accommodation, service, and the highest attention to detail providing everything that an overnight guest might need. Breakfast is a 'fine dining' experience with top quality presentation and a variety of options to suit all tastes and requirements. It is also a 'hearty' meal providing plenty of fuel for those guests that may be walking the beautiful highlands that surround Distant Hills. We stayed at many Guest Houses and B&B's during our 24 day tour of Britain and were pleased with the vast majority of them. However, Distant Hills was the most welcoming and the highest quality in every category.

Good stay, handy for Ben Nevis Walk and similar This B&B does more than the average, providing a welcoming cup of tea after a long drive that was very hospitable when we arrived. Service, care and attention to detail is exceptional with all requirements catered for by the owners. The cleanliness and facilities in the room are of a high standard and the breakfast choice and quality are exceptional. Whilst having experienced nouvelle cuisine and michelin star food elsewhere I'd say the breakfasts at distant hills exceeded anything i'd had anywhere before. My walking buddy and I used this as a base for conquering Ben Nevis, although it could be used as a based for other walks, cycling and more. It's clear the owners have a strong belief in what they do and this comes out in the good service and high quality of all aspects of the B&B. Definitely deserving of the high praise here; Many thanks to Peter and Lesley.

high standard of comfort Stayed here whilst walking Great Glen way. It was a bit off the trail and I was exhausted when I arrived but it was worth the extra 4 miles as very welcoming and comfortable. I was grateful though for the run back to the Way in the morning!

Best B&B at the Great Glen Way We did stay in this guest house after a rainy day, walking the great glen way. Peter was really helpfull and friendly. A perfect host! Wet clothes were dried. We got all information we asked for, even more than that. The next day Peter brought us back to the start of our next walking stage, 7 kms from Spean Bridge. This service is included in the room price. Great concept, great breakfast, great service. Perfect stay! Wesley

Amazing quality Total agree with previous reviews. This B&B is located at the edge of Spean Bridge (unfortunately the furthest from the walk in from the Great Glen Way at Gairlochy. However, the actual property is furnished to a high standard throughout with a large lounge with many sofas. Shower was great and beds were comfy. Was treated to a pot of tea and cake on arrival which after a rainy day walking was fantastic. Was even dropped back to the Great Glen Way in the morning by the owner. Amazing and would definitely go back. (Recommend the Old Station Restaurant but definitely book in advance!) Only slight minus is the packed lunch was smaller than other B&Bs and therefore was a bit hungry by the end of the next day walking.

One of the best B&Bs on the Great Glen Way This beautiful B&B in a hidden gem in Spean Bridge. We were walking the Great Glen Way. We got to Gairlochy where the host from Distant Hills picked us up and drove us to his B&B. This B&B is well done inside, very clean and modern. Many little extra amenities, extra toiletries. They have a very nice garden in the back to sit and relax after a long day's walk. Breakfast was exceptionally well done.

A superb stay A most wonderful place to stay on the first night of walking the Great Glen Way. Owners very understanding of two guests who arrived very wet. Excellent accommodation, very attentive service without being too much over the top, and a great breakfast. Great attention to detail in the room and a very restful sleep. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Best B&B on our Great Glen Walk I recently stayed here with 6 friends whilst walking the Great Glen Way. Peter collected us all from Gairlochy at the end of our first days walk. We had a wonderful welcome with tea and cakes and the room was very comfortable. Breakfast was great and set us up for our second days walking for which Peter took us back to Gairlochy. Highly recommended.

Simply the best! We stayed here for 2 nights originally whilst walking the East Highland Way and loved it so much we went back for another 5 nights. Peter and Lesley are superb hosts, the accommodation is spotless and the breakfasts are second to none. So many nice resonance touches like a bottle of wine in our room for my husbands birthday along with a welcoming cuppa and cake when you arrive. Nothing is to much trouble and it felt like we were staying with friends. The location is excellent with our favorite restaurant a 5 min walk away 'the station house'. Only a few miles out of Fort William and some beautiful walks on the doorstep. We will definitely be returning for a third visit and would not hesitate in recommending Distant Hills to anybody. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for being such wonderful hosts.

Superb!! service, quality and a warm welcome We have just stayed for 4 nights at Distant Hills guest house and we cannot recommend highly enough the service and customer care given by Peter and Leslie. The amount of thought and effort they put in to ensure you have a pleasant stay, is unsurpassed in our experience. Our only complaint is that we were looking forward to some healthy walking and coming home a few pounds lighter but the fantastic breakfasts (not to be missed) put paid to this plan 😉 Chris and (Ben Nevis) Kaz

Wonderful stay After my first day of walking the Great Glen Way, I was very happy to stay at Distant Hills in Spean Bridge. It's a little out of the way of Gairlochy (my walking day's destination) but they do offer to come pick you up. As I had walked for hours and it was starting to rain, I opted for this service 🙂 But just as I was about to call, their neighbour spotted me entering the phone booth and offered me a ride... which was much appreciated. Peter and Lesley were great hosts and helped with recommending and making dinner reservations in town. They also have a packed lunch service, which I gladly purchased for my next day's walk. The room had twin beds, was very nice, clean and comfortable. I had a pleasant view of the backyard/garden. Very quiet. Free Wifi. The bathroom was big, with plenty of hot water. I loved the attention to detail - including available toiletries. After a hearty breakfast, Peter drove me back to Gairlochy to continue my Great Glen Way walking adventure. I would certainly recommend this B&B 🙂

Particularly Pleasant Peter! After walking 18 miles from Ft. Augustus, we were anxious to get settled in for a good meal. We were greeted by Peter, who was warm, friendly and very accommodating. One of the best surprises from the guest house was this delicious tea cake in our room! Peter gave us great recommendations for dinner and saw to our every need. The next morning he patiently helped us take photographs and even gave us a ride back to Gairlochy to continue our journey. The gem of this place is the back yard. If you have time for tea and cakes have them there, it is beautifully landscaped and Peter and Lesley make you feel right at home.

luxury b and b As we were on walking holiday , the Distant Hills collected us from a point several miles away and dropped us off next morning. The accommodation was luxurious with lovely thoughtful touches in each room and the breakfast especially their " Platter" was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer.

Best B&B on Great Glen Way Stayed at Distant Hils whilst walking the Great Glen Way on 27May 2012. Met at Commando Memorial by Peter and given a wee tour of Spean Bridge with rundown of eating places by Peter then shown round B&B and given a fresh pot of coffee,cakes and jug of iced water in lounge. Spotlessly clean, lovely bedroom, lounge and garden. Breakfast was excellent. Would definately go back should we be passing at any other time.

Great Time Lesley and Peter made us most welcome and made sure we had everything we needed right down to taking our wet clothes to be dried! The breakfast gave us a lovely wide choice and proved to be delicious. Our room was very pretty and the guest lounge big and comfortable. Our party found it to be an ideal base for our hillwalking and cycling activities and have resolved to return whenever possible.

Just lovely We were walking the Great Glen Way and were very tired. The owners were just superb. Collected us from Gairlochy and delivered us back to the walk next day. They were warm, welcoming and the room was great. Very clean. Breakfast superb.

What a start to our walk! In April 2011 a group of us embarked on walking the East Highland Way, and our first two nights were spent at Distant Hills. It was splendid from start to finish: Peter and Lesley have thought of everything to make a stay with them memorable. The house is spotless, the beds comfortable, there is a huge lounge for the use of the guests and breakfast was excellent. The owners went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, with lifts and taxis organised for us, afternon tea when we arrived, a fine recommendation for our evening meals and not forgetting the tray of wine glasses! So many B and B's skimp on the little touches that would make "good" into "excellent" but you could not accuse Distant Hills of cutting any corners in their efforts to make visitors have a 100% perfect experience.

Great value for money Best breakfast ever.Blueberry pancakes and maple syrup were delicious. Everything very clean and great attention to detail. We were walking the Great Glen and Peter picked us up and took us back in the morning. He was very helpful.

Gourmet breakfast ! We had some pretty good (and some pretty ordinary) breakfasts during our walking tour of Scotland but Distant Hill's breakfast was by FAR the best - plentiful, very varied (and yet traditional) and just SO tasty. Peter & Lesley were friendly helpful hosts and the only tiny negative was that the walls between the bedrooms were very "noise conductive" but the rooms themselves were fab - well furnished & decorated, spacious and very clean. We would have absolutely no hesitation with a return visit - overall a wonderful BB

Best accommodation on GGW - Do not miss this one Stayed here after our first days walking the GGW. We did not choose our accommodation as we had booked through Macs Adventures. Having completed the walk and experienced the charms (?) and vagaries(!) of the six establishments we stayed in I can only change my grading of 11/10 that I scored Distant Hills after our night there. Should have been higher! Lesley I cannot tell you how much I needed and enjoyed your home-made fudge on the next days walk. I think it was a life-saver. Hope to come and stay with you again for a weekend break. Fabulous rooms, little touches, great breakfasts. Highly recommended. Thank you for the lift to Gairlochy Peter. Regards Sue & Nigel Jones

Impeccable service It is serious business for the owners of Diatant Hills. It is not one of ose "oh we happen to have a couple of spare room so why don't we just rent them out for some cah?" At DH you aree taken care off. Rooms are clean and comfortable. You can tell that the owners take pride in what they do for you. They have a lovely garden. If you are doing the GGW, make sure you stay here for the night. It is within walking distance to a great restaurant Russel's.

Great location, clean accomodation, friendly hosts. We were treated like family by Peter and Leslie when we stayed at Distant Hills Guest House in Spean Bridge, Inverness-shire, Scotland. It is conveniently located near the edge of town and yet within walking distance to restaurants. Our room was a little on the small side, but it was neat and clean. We enjoyed sitting in the family room which overlooked a lovely back yard and the Ben Nevis mountain range. Leslie and Peter gave us good suggestions for road trips, hikes and restaurants. The breakfasts were delicious and Leslie even packed sack lunches for us when we took a beautiful hike up a nearby mountain and around a loch.

Would I stay again...DEFINITELY! Excellent guest house, hosts Peter and Lesley make you feel at home from the minute you enter the front door. The rooms are well furnished and so comfortable, it certainly decerves its 4 star rating. Its location is ideal with pleanty of places to visit and eat. Peter will also give you lots of help in finding your way around, be it walking or driving. I would certainly stay again and would recommend Distant Hills to anyone.

Years after this trip I will still be sending people to Distant Hills We stayed at Distant Hills after our first day walking the Great Glen Way. Of the 9 B&B's we stayed at on our trip this is one of my absolute favourites. Peter came out to Gairlochy to pick us up and skip the extra 3 mile walk from the end of the official leg of the walk out to Spean Bridge. We were exhausted from our first walking day but he had tea and coffee ready for us in the huge beautiful lounge. The best part by far is the garden, with several sitting areas, big open space, and the occasional chicken, it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the evening. The DVD collection was also a great distraction in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and included fresh eggs from the aforementioned chickens in the garden. The rooms were beautifully decorated (ours looked out onto the back garden) and the bathroom was very nice clean and tidy but both were very small. I would make another trip specifically back to Spean Bridge just to stay at Distant Hills!

An excellent choice for those walking the Great Glen Way My husband and another friend stayed at Distant Hills after after our first day walking the Great Glen Way. It was raining when we arrived, and we were a mess, but our hosts, Leslie and Peter, welcomed us like long lost relatives. Leslie offered laundry service as well, so we had dry and clean clothing for our walk the next day. The rooms were very nice, and the lounge lovely. Breakfast in the morning was probably the best of our whole two weeks in Scotland, and included Leslie's homemade marmalade. In the morning, Peter drove us back to Gairlochy so we could start our second day's walk. All in all, I think this was one of the best places we stayed along the way in terms of comfort, friendliness, and quality of service. I would not hesitate to return to Distant Hills and I can highly recommend it to anyone wishing to stay overnight in Spean Bridge.

Peter and Lesley go the extra mile for their guests My husband and I were looking for a comfortable guest house for our anniversary at the end of November. Peter and Lesley were very helpful in advising us about walks in the area and other day trips available during the short hours of daylight at this time of year. The house is very comfortable and the guest lounge has everything a visitor could want, e.g. guide books and maps for the area, a large television with a wide range of channels and cushy sofas for unwinding after a day walking the Great Glen Way. The breakfasts were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the mixed berries available to go with the muesli and yogurt. My husband particularly enjoyed the traditional cooked breakfast which provided good fuel for an active day in walking the snow-covered forest tracks.

Great place Great Glen Wlalkers We stayed here whilst walking the Great Glen Way. Peter and Lesley were great hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them from making our packed lunches for the next day to giving us a lift to the start of the walk at Gairlochy (which is 4 miles from Spean Bridge). The accommodation is of a very high standard with really comfortable beds and a fantastic hot shower (which is always very welcome after a long days walk). The cooked breakfast in the morning was top notch and kept us going to lunchtime and beyond on the next days walk. For those thinkig of doing the Great Glen Way this place is a "must stay" and If (fingers crossed) we get decent snow this year we'll be back to stay here when we do our annual Nevis/Glencoe ski weekend as from the back garden you can see the Nevis ski area from the back garden.

Home from home Six walking friends and I were in Spean Bridge for two nights (30 and 31 July) in order to climb Ben Nevis. (Distant Hills was booked by one of the other members of the party). Peter and Lesley were very welcoming and friendly and helpful in lots of little ways e.g. printing out the local weather forecast for the day of our ascent. The residents' lounge is very comfortable and well equipped with reference material about the locality, walking books and magazines, DVD's for a rainy day. The bedrooms were comfortable with everything provided for our overnight needs and the breakfast was 5 star plus with everything you could want both for a light breakfast and a cooked breakfast including the full Scottish breakfast, pancakes with maple syrup and bacon (which was delicious) smoked salmon in scrambled eggs to name but three. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Distant Hills. It's just a pity it's so far away from Yorkshire!!

Highland Highlight The two of us stayed here one night while we were walking The Great Glen from Fort William to Inverness. Distant Hills was a night of luxury along the Way. Peter picked up two weary walkers at nearby Gairlochy then drove us to Distant Hills (much appreciated) - then he went back for more wanderers. The next morning he kindly took us all back to Gairlochy to continue the walk. Distant Hills is a luxurious B&B, top marks. Lesley and Peter both made us very welcome and the accommodation was first class. The view over a beautiful garden with lots of colourful wee birds at the feeders was good too. And the breakfast? Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup was on the extensive choice. We both couldn't resist it - and it was very good and very filling. Lesley was also good enough to provide us with packed lunches for the day. We found a good spot overlooking Loch Lochy to enjoy them. Many thanks again to Lesley and Peter for being such fine hosts. We'll be back if we're staying in Spean Bridge again.

Safe in new hands. Having visited Distant Hills in the past my friends and I decided to revisit the area we like so much. We were not disappointed, the new owners Peter and Lesley made our stay as good as we could have wished. The accomodation is first class, the food excellent and their hospitallity second to none.But for the weather, well it was June 2007 in Scotland we could not have enjoyed ourselves any more, we look forward to a return visit. Its good to know Distant Hills is in safe hands. Peter and walking friends.

The accomodation is first class, the food excellent and their hospitallity second to none.But for the weather, well it was June 2007 in Scotland we could not have enjoyed ourselves any more, we look forward to a return visit. Its good to know Distant Hills is in safe hands. Peter and walking friends.
