Exploring New Routes in the Scottish Highlands
Living in Spean Bridge, just 10 miles north of Fort William and Ben Nevis, we are blessed with an incredible variety of hillwalking routes that cater to all levels of walkers – Could we have found the Best Moderate Walk in the Scottish Highlands (?)*. Our guests are often drawn to iconic routes such as Meall Cumhann in Glen Nevis, Beinn na Lap near Corrour, and Peameanach Beach and the village ruins near Arisaig. However, to keep our guests coming back for more and to showcase the true beauty of the Highlands, we’re always seeking out new hiking routes that add diversity and excitement to the walking experience.
In 2024, we introduced several new hiking routes that turned out to be quite popular. These included Biod an Fhithich in Glen Shiel, Black Wood & Dun-da Lamh Fort just past the Creag Meagaidh Nature Reserve, Sgurr an Utha near Glenfinnan, and Am Bathach and Ciste Dhubh in Glen Shiel. Each of these new routes provided a mix of stunning scenery, varied terrain, and the perfect level of challenge, making them a big hit with our walking holiday guests.
A highlight of our autumn walking holidays in 2024 was the weather – YES, the sun really did shine in the Highlands in October! Our drying room was miraculously used just once during the entire 3 weeks of walking holidays last October, a rare but delightful occurrence. While we can’t promise the same conditions every autumn, we live in hope for another glorious season!
Our Top Walk of 2024: Biod an Fhithich
BelowAs a moderate-level hike, Biod an Fhithich definitely stood out as the highlight of 2024. The walk starts with a stunning drive from Distant Hills Guest House, which takes around an hour, but the views on the way are absolutely jaw-dropping. The well-maintained path begins with a gradual ascent to a saddle where visitors are greeted by the awe-inspiring views of the Forcan Ridge. On both occasions, we were treated to the haunting sounds of stags roaring, though they proved to be elusive, adding an element of mystery to the hike.
From the saddle, a well-defined path leads up to the grassy summit of Biod an Fhithich, which reaches a height of 645m. Once at the top, hikers are rewarded with stunning panoramic views of Loch Duich, and on a clear day, the Isle of Skye can be seen stretching out into the distance. In the far-off horizon, you can even spot the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, making this hike one of the most memorable for those who complete it.
This out-and-back route is approximately 4 miles in total and takes between 4 to 5 hours to complete, with a couple of breaks along the way to take in the breathtaking surrounding mountains. The perfect combination of moderate challenge and incredible rewards!

Looking Ahead to Walking in the Scottish Highlands in 2025
If you’re inspired by these new hiking routes and are looking to join us for an unforgettable walking holiday in the Scottish Highlands, we still have places available for our 2025 walking holidays. Whether you prefer moderate hikes like Biod an Fhithich or are up for a more challenging adventure, we offer a variety of walks suited to all levels of hikers. Visit our website for more details or contact us to book your place today!

Das Guesthouse besticht durch gemütliche Zimmer, einem separatem Wohnraum und einem hübsch gestalteten Frühstücksraum. Abends kann man noch gemütlich im Wohnraum zusammensitzen und sich an der Bar Getränke und Snacks nehmen. Das Frühstück war top! Aber vor allem die Herzlichkeit von Dani und Cameron machen es zu einem Wohlfühlort.

Friendly, welcoming hosts to a lovely home in a lovely part of Scotland. 😀 - Very warm welcome from the hosts. Great advice about places to eat nearby. A top tip to get to the car park early to see the "Harry Potter" train puffing over the viaduct nearby. Breakfast was excellent, our hosts were friendly as they topped up teas and coffees. A really beautiful house and garden, though it was too chilly for us to sit outside in the evening. Definitely a place to return to when in Scotland. 😞 - I could not fault anything.

Mooie, grote tuin. En de "honesty bar" was erg goed uitgerust. Helaas maar 1 nacht verbleven bij Dani en Cameron, maar zeker voor herhaling vatbaar. 😞 - Ik kan echt niets bedenken.

Toll! Dani und Cameron sind super nett, Einchecken geht unkompliziert, die Zimmer sind sauber&gut und die Bar gut sortiert. Was will man mehr???Es gibt einen Pub im Ort, aber der scheint in der Hauptsaison am Limit. Kleiner Tipp: im Notfall ein paar Sandwiches einpacken! Wie Paddington. (Wir haben aber trotzdem was bekommen! Danke dafür, liebe Old Station.)Ansonsten würde ich hier auch ohne zu zögern mehrere Tage einchecken!!!

Probably my favorite hosts along the Great Glenn Way. Incredibly organized, accommodating, and warm.Can arrange transport to and fro the great Glenn way since technically Spean bridge is a diversion.We enjoyed our breakfast and the evening hot tub was a real bonus.Big spacious living room with a wet bar for communal use in the evening. Not every b&b offers this in highlands so it was always a bonus to have this.We would stay again and recommend to all.

Everything about Distant Hills Guest House is stunning. A very modern, cosy, clean place to stay.Dani & Cameron were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble, they were there with their knowledge and for a general chit chat.The room was immaculate, with a view into the beautiful garden. Tea/coffee/Galaxy hot chocolate etc was replenished upon request.The guest lounge with tv & an 'honesty bar' was somewhere to relax & unwind at the end of a busy day out & about.Breakfast was amazing! From a selection of cereals to choose from, fruit salad, Greek yogurt, a cooked breakfast & toast. Oh let's definitely not forget about Cameron's absolutely amazing & yummy pancakes! Wow! With yogurt & fruit.All in all I would definitely recommend a stay here.Thank you again Dani & Cameron.We WILL be back! Also I'll be sure to tell everyone about Distant Hills ❤️ xxx

Everything was simple and just as expected for a B&B. The hosts were great! 😀 - Distant Hill Guest House is a charming B&B with warm and friendly hosts. Our room and bathroom were both very clean, and the stay was straightforward and comfortable, making it a great choice for a quick overnight visit. 😞 - There wasn’t really anything I disliked, as the stay was in line with the B&B style and everything was simple and basic. If I had one suggestion, it would be to update the TV to a smart TV for easier streaming.

The à la carte breakfast was hands down the best of our entire trip through Scotland: fresh, high-quality ingredients, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We also loved the cozy lounge area with a self-service bar, the lovely garden, and the super relaxing jacuzzi. Cameron and Dani were fantastic hosts, offering great recommendations for places to visit and eat — we felt truly cared for. A gem of a place — not to be missed if you’re in the area. Thank you !

Very good website. 😞 - I should have spotted that different bed sizes were available, but the standard double was very comfortable.

Dani and Cameron are kind and attentive hosts. Nothing is too much trouble for them.The room we had was spotlessly clean with a view of the garden and had everything you could wish for (including two Tunnocks tea cakes which were much appreciated after our long drive).The bed was big and comfortable and the bed linen was of a high quality - we both slept like logs.The B&B is in a great location - it is in a spot which is very quiet and tucked away but also close enough to the main road between Fort William and Inverness to be very convenient for day trips.There is a lovely garden which is for guests to enjoy and we sat out there for an hour in the morning after breakfast and soaked up some sunshine before heading off for a hike.Breakfast was delicious. Cameron is a great cook and Dani a wonderfully attentive host (she is always there if you need something but it does not feel as though she is watching over you - a very difficult skill to master). The food was very fresh and the ingredients were very high quality with plenty of choices on the menu.We did not want to leave after our two nights and we have already decided to return to Distant Hills as soon as we can!Thank you again Dani and Cameron for a wonderful stay.Philip and Kate x

Like a 5 star hotel - but with the personal touch! We knew we were going to love Distant Hills the moment Dani gave us a friendly wave as she arrived to pick us up at Gairlochy after the first stage of our walk along the Great Glen Way from Fort William. Everything about staying here was five star; the rooms and how they were kitted out, the communal areas, the well stocked 'honesty bar', the tasty fresh breakfast and not forgetting the hot tub . But what made it so very special was the friendly and personal welcome from Dani and Cameron and the sense that nothing was too much trouble. The Great Glen Way is done but we're working on finding another reason to come and stay!

Having watched Dani and Cam win the “four in a bed” award in 2022 I promised that we must visit if ever in the area and a trip on the Jacobite, as a big birthday present, ensured we were this year.|What a great experience our time at Distant Hills was from the brilliant hosting and hospitality from Dani and Cam to our comfortable en suite bedroom, the well set out lounge with beautiful garden views( thank you Martin) and an extensive drinks offering to make the evenings drift by. Their home was completed with a well set out breakfast room with a fulfilling and satisfying menu.|We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would go out of our way not only to revisit but to recommend to all visiting Scotland.

Dani and Cameron the hosts are both an officer and a gentleman. They are really friendly and make you feel welcome. The rooms are perfect as is the rest of the premises. The hot tub is a bonus and lovely pancakes for breakfast too.

Dani and Cam were fantastic welcoming hosts, who made our stay very comfortable.Our room was spotlessly clean, we made the most of enjoying the beautiful garden and hot tub. Cooked breakfast were delicious and hot with a variety of options. Cam helpfully gave us a lift to the start of our walk. Will absolutely stay again if visiting the area. Thank you.

A must visit Having watched Dani and Cam win the “four in a bed” award in 2022 I promised that we must visit if ever in the area and a trip on the Jacobite, as a big birthday present, ensured we were this year. What a great experience our time at Distant Hills was from the brilliant hosting and hospitality from Dani and Cam to our comfortable en suite bedroom, the well set out lounge with beautiful garden views( thank you Martin) and an extensive drinks offering to make the evenings drift by. Their home was completed with a well set out breakfast room with a fulfilling and satisfying menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would go out of our way not only to revisit but to recommend to all visiting Scotland.

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.

Very hospitable hosts, but unfortunately the room didn't meet our expectations 😀 - The hosts were very welcoming and did their best to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The breakfast was nice and sufficient, but when we compare with the other places we stayed during our 2 weeks tour of Scotland, we had better breakfasts that offered more fruit, included home made jams & granola and always also included salmon. 😞 - The room was very small, certainly compared to all the other places we stayed during our 2 weeks tour of Scotland. This room was overpriced, since all other locations we stayed at during our tour in popular places, had much larger rooms & beds and included nice authentic scottish decorations for less money.

Easily the nicest B&B we've ever stayed at from the get go they were friendly, welcoming and understanding. The honesty bar was a very welcome touch and the breakfast was a winner! Everywhere was spotless, the beds were super comfy and the views! 1000% recommend to anyone passing through. (And if that's not enough to convince you, they're Four in a Bed winners too!)

We had the pleasure of staying at Distant Hills Guest House after the first leg of our Great Glen Way trek. Our experience with Dani and Cameron started with them providing pickup service for 9 very wet hikers at Gairlochy. It may have taken 3 trips but Dani had as all in the warmth of Distant Hills GH in record time! From the outside covered drying clothes lines to the hot tub (oh yeah!) to the honesty bar and comfy living area space, Dani and Cameron have left no stone unturned in provding the ultimate guest experience. This is a very welcoming place where one feels instantly at home and the rooms were impeccable with super comfy beds. Everyone's breakfast choices were divine (I can personally recommend the pancakes!) and Cameron transported us back to Gairlochy in the morning well rested, well fed and ready to resume Day 2 of the GGW. And finally...of all the places we stayed during our two weeks in Scotland, Distant Hills GH was only one of two B&Bs that provided hair conditioner! Well done you two.

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!

Their hospitality sets this guest house apart from the rest.There's a very cozy sitting room with views to the back garden. It has an honesty bar well stocked with Whiskies, Gins, Wines and locally sources Craft Beer, brewed right across the street.After a long day's hike, the garden spa tub for guests was a true delight. And the fresh from the kitchen morning breakfast was delicious and prepared us for the next leg of our Great Glen Way hike to Invergarry.

Halte tijdens onze GGW wandeling.Op onze eerste wandeldag maakte we de fout om stuk tussen de einde wandeldag en b&b te wandelen (7km extra) ipv uitbater ons op te laten pikken. Dit maakte dat we zeer vermoeid aankwamen bij de b&b. Dit werd meteen goedgemaakt door de aangename ontvangst, mooie locatie en jacuzi (waar we van genoten hebben).Zeer mooie propere kamer, geweldig ontbijt en lunchpakket.De uitbater was zo vriendelijk om ons per auto tot aan startpunt van de wandeling te brengen.

Accommodating hosts with our late arrival and early departure 😞 - The windows overlooking the hot tub could do with some privacy screening or at least net curtains, as a couple were undressing in front of the window which was clearly visible by those of us in the garden.

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

Very pleasant and enjoyable. 😀 - Dani and Cam welcomed us upon our arrival. Their guesthouse is tastefully furnished and decorated. A beautiful garden surrounds the guesthouse. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortabele. Breakfast was a feast. We had a very pleasant two day stay at Distant Hills Guesthouse. 😞 - With the luggage we brought with us, the room was a bit on the small side.

Dani and Cameron do it right. They have such a great system to welcome you on your first day, and make sure that if there's anything you need all you have to do is ask. They are very attentive and friendly. The fact that they have return business speaks volumes to the type of service they provide. The honesty bar, living room area, and the backyard just scream "welcome home". I can't think of anything they can improve on. Well done you two, it was a pleasure to finally meet you after months of planning our trip. We WILL be back someday.

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.

Distant Hills is a fabulous Guesthouse, the rooms are spotless clean and comfortable, the vast lounge is very cosy and has a bar with a wide selection of wines, whisky, gin, soft drinks (with honesty box). The lovely well kept garden is equipped with a hot tub. The breakfast is first class, Dani and Cameron have thought of every details and are exceptional hosts, very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this lovely guesthouse.

Cameron and Dani are perfect, very friendly, and welcoming hosts who make you feel at home immediately. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and there is a lovely guest living room where you can relax, read a book, or play a board game. The breakfast is excellent. It's a perfect location to rest if you are passing through on your way to another destination, or to stay a bit longer to enjoy the surroundings, as it is very close to Fort William. We really enjoyed our stay.Dank je wel Dani and Cameron.

A place to come back to! 😀 - Amazing place, lovely hosts! Dani and Cameron really took good care of us. Loved the rooms and super comfortable beds. The location was very tranquil and the breakfast menu was great with home cooked food. We also enjoyed the separate “living room” for guests to relax, enjoy drinks from the guest bar with a nice selection of local gin and whisky. All in all the best stay during our ten days road trip in Scotland, highly recommend it! 😞 - None

Warm hospitality and excellent local knowledge We’d heard so many good things about Distant Hills… and they did not disappoint! Superb local knowledge, warm hospitality (the fluffiest pancakes) and excellent facilities like the honesty bar and hot tub. It has an excellent location to explore so many walks and the Aurora topped off a really special stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

My wife and I again had the pleasure of staying at Distant Hills Guest House, Spean Bridge. The welcome from Cameron and Dani was genuine and warm; they have a remarkable ability to make the visitor feel totally at home and at ease. The room was very comfortable, well appointed and scrupulously clean giving us excellent sleeping accommodation for our stay. The Guest House provides a secluded, well stocked garden to sit in and enjoy a drink from the honestly bar located in the comfortable guest’s lounge. Weather permitting, there is a hot tub available in the extensive garden for guests to use. The breakfast was served in a most inviting dining room, was delicious and personally served at individual tables; a welcome change from dining “en famille” as seems to be the preferred method in some establishments. We have no hesitation in recommending Distant Hills Guest House as a most excellent establishment for Bed and Breakfast within a readily accessible, Central Highland location and we look forward to returning in 2025.

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 ♥️♥️♥️

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.

Perfect 😀 - 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.

Breakfast ranged from traditional Scottish to lighter options. I can highly recommend a stay at Distant Hills.

Dani and Cameron are very warm-hearted and welcoming. There are plenty of choices for breakfast as well. Overall it’s a flawless place to stay!

I stayed at Distant Hills Guest House in early May of this year and absolutely loved it. The bed and breakfast was spotless and tastefully decorated, the room was comfortable, the back yard was gorgeous, the food was delicious, but most importantly the hosts were so warm and welcoming. Dani and Cameron are truly lovely, warm-hearted people. I was in Scotland to walk the Great Glen Way and Distant Hills was by far my favorite stop along the way. I highly recommend!

We stayed here for two nights on our trip exploring the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Dani and Cameron have established a comfortable warm and welcoming environment.The lounge area was a great place to socialize and breakfast was delicious. We were given great suggestions for activities and dinner dining. The rooms were comfortable but slightly small. We did not spend much time there except to sleep so it didn’t really matter. The hot tub was great on a cool day. Everything was immaculately clean.

Ein 10+++ Aufenthalt! 😀 - Ich weiß nicht genau, wo ich anfangen soll! Das ganze Haus ist sehr schön! Das Zimmer und das Badezimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet! Im Wohnraum, der für die Gäste zur Verfügung steht, stehen Getränke zum angemessenem Preis bereit. Das Frühstück ist super lecker! Die Freundlichkeit von Cameron und Dani ist umwerfend! 😞 - Es gibt nichts, was schlecht war!

One of the best accommodations we have ever experienced! 😀 - The hosts were very friendly. As a guest you can tell that they love what they do. They take the time to answer questions and have lovingly furnished the rooms with an eye for detail. The breakfast is prepared with a lot of love. A very exceptionally great place to stay and definitely one of the few that stay in my memory for a long time and which I can warmly recommend. I rarely write reviews online. I have never explicitly rated an accommodation. Here it is important to me to share my extremely positive experience. Thank you for the great stay and the great tips!

Lovely stay at Distant Hills Guest House 😀 - This was honestly one of the loveliest guesthouses I have ever visited. The hosts created an exceptionally friendly, warm and welcoming atmosphere, and they seem to run the place with big hearts. It felt like coming home. We had a beautiful room with luxurious beds. Everything was very clean, and there was quiet during the night. There was a very nicely decorated and spacious lounge with a bar for guests. And a lovely and peaceful garden. It was possible to make tea in the room. The breakfast was excellent. Probably the best pancakes I have ever eaten. Location is excellent. We also got lovely recommendations for places in the nature to visit, and got the spend the evening swimming under the Eas Chia-Aig waterfall and in beautiful Loch Arkaig. Thank you so much for this lovely stay! 😞 - I cannot think of anything that could have been better.

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.

Easily the best B&B I've ever stayed in. We arrived late at night, check-in was seamless, rooms super comfortable and had the best night sleep ever! Our hosts Dani and Cam took good care of us, making breakfast and giving us suggestions for hiking trails. Their hospitality is next level, it feels like you're staying with good friends. You can tell they put so much effort in making guests feel at home, I'm blown away! Do not miss this place if you're spending time in Scotland!
