Fancy a Walking Holiday? Hotels along the West Highland Way
Keen hikers will be familiar with the West Highland Way, by name at least. The longest and most popular walking route in Scotland is a firm favourite amongst outdoorsy types and gets very busy during peak tourist season. If you want to fit in one more hike before winter sets in, this is the perfect way to do it. Comprising thirteen sections of varying lengths, the West Highland Way can be broken down to make it suitable for ramblers of any ability and to fit in with your schedule.
Those doing the West Highland Way the traditional way will most likely prefer to camp outdoors in between stages but if, like us, the idea of camping fails to fill you with joy, you will be pleased to hear that there are plenty of accommodation options along the route. There are even companies who can be hired to carry your luggage to your next destination each day, so you don’t need to drag a heavy rucksack with you as you walk. Before you set off on your trek from Milngavie to Fort William, speak to us about bag carrying services. For now, here are a few of the hotels and guesthouses you could relax in after a hard day’s hiking.
Located at the foot of Ben Lomond, the Rowardennan Hotel offers fantastic views of Loch Lomond and the nearby mountains. Guests can choose from one of the luxury lodges in the grounds of the hotel or one of the eighteen comfortable bedrooms. After a hard day’s walking, you’ll no doubt be very appreciative of the two bars and varied selection of fresh Scottish produce!

Situated near the picturesque Glencoe, Kings House Hotel is widely believed to be one of the oldest inns in Scotland.
