We don't normally post reviews but this one really touched us. This couple were really lovely - and their enjoyment of their visit was contagious! We would love to see them again, and hope they return to Balcarres for more adventures in Fort William.

A great day out is to take the train to Corrour. At 1350ft above sea level it's the highest station in the Uk with no road to it. There's some lovely walks from the station, including a munro and the station house restaurant has a lovely menu as well, just what you need after a day out walking.

A lovely museum to visit while you're staying is the Clan Cameron Museum at Achnacarry. It tells the history of Clan Cameron, its involvement with the Jacobites and the 1745 uprising. There are displays about the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders and the commandos who trained there in World War II.

We've been very lucky this year to have a pair of willow warblers nest in the field just behind the house this year, so while we're busy cooking guests breakfasts we have 1 eye on the warblers. The chicks are very close to fledging now and the parents are working so hard bringing them food😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A lovely evening for a stroll with the dogs on their favourite walk at lower falls, Glen Nevis. We’ve never seen the river as low 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍

A new walk for us (thanks to the young at heart walking club). Following the Dubh- Lighe to the Gleann Dubh-Lighe bothy. It’s just over 4 miles there and back, with beautiful waterfalls along the way. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍 we’ve added a video of the walk on YouTube if you’d like to see more YouTube.com/watch?v=nhDBgf5gAs8
