FAQs
How far is Ben Nevis?
As you can see from the photos above, Ben Nevis is very close by. Some guests walk from Woodside, but most travel to the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre or Achintee Farmhouse in Glen Nevis, to start their walk up the mountain. Glen Nevis is less than 10 minutes by car.
What about the weather for climbing Ben Nevis?
Mountains create their own climates and when its very wet and windy, we would not recommend attempting to reach the summit. You would see nothing and the experience could be frightening.
There are several lower-level walks which we recommend and these are often very enjoyable and rewarding.
When does it snow?
It snows on the mountains here from late September to late May, although it can snow on the summit of Ben Nevis on any day of the year. From November onwards expect deep snow near the summit during cold periods. You can check the weather at Ben Nevis by keeping an eye on our WebCam.
Do we take dogs?
No, we prefer cash or cheques. Seriously, we have nothing against dogs,
but don't allow them in our house. It takes too much time and effort to
clean up afterwards for our next guests, who may not like dogs (or cats)
Can you smoke inside the property?
No way!
Do we accept children?
Yes we do - PROVIDED they are extremely well-behaved, they are supervised
by a responsible adult at all times, don't jump up and down on the beds,
run back and forwards through the house, paint on the walls............ we have a large garden deck with swings and a slide, and a play house, and a sand pit.
How far is Fort William town centre?
4 miles - 10 minutes by car or taxi and 20 minutes by bicycle
Where is the nearest pub for good food and beer?
Mosts places to eat and drink are all a short drive from Woodside - we are happy to recommend quite a lot, but none of them are in walking distance as our local "country pub" is a bit of an enigma and mostly closed.
Can't think of anything else at the moment - if you have a big
request - ask away - we'll consider anything reasonable.
