Re: lochailort lodging for May 10, 2023 +/-

I camped at Loch Linnhe campsite at Corpach last year Gordon, the bus stops at the entrance to the site and drops you outside the hotel at Lochailort. I thought it was more convenient than Glen Nevis, only £20 to camp

Re: lochailort lodging for May 10, 2023 +/-

Thanks Louise.

That looks like a good option if the Inn doesn't have a room.

Re: lochailort lodging for May 10, 2023 +/-

I also have had not luck in contacting them for staying there on the 10th. I going to stay at Morar Hotel. much cheaper than Fort William (already staying there on the following Saturday) and there is a 0600 train for an early start

Hi Shaun,

Just in case you haven't got anything sorted out for your start from Lochailort Inn.

Still no word from them, although I'm supposed to be notified by them when they are open for booking " in the Spring ". :thinking_face:

There may be something before the time, but, just in case I've booked into the Fort William Backpackers Hostel: £27.50 in a mixed dorm. It's a short walk downhill to the Station and there is a train at 0830 in the morning to Lochailort.

If the Lochailort Inn is open and bookable in May I may still go for it.

Paid £4.12 so far and I can cancel up to very near the date.

I've looked at a bus from the Linnhe Campsite and the first one is at 1012. Camp fee is in the order of £20.

Hope this is of use to you or anyone else starting from the Lochailort Inn. :thinking_face:

Re: lochailort lodging for May 10, 2023 +/-

That's about right for the campsite, might not suit some, but was fine as I only had a short day planned. I was still in Glenfinnan for 3pm 🤣🤣🤣

Re: lochailort lodging for May 10, 2023 +/-

Just to confirm: the Inn is closed - as we know - and up for sale. So, no rooms at the Inn. :scream:
