点评:Just back from the west highland way with my family and couldn’t recommend the experience enough to anyone thinking of attempting the trek.
This review is just to warn of accommodation
Kingshouse hotel is extremely expensive and whilst the setting is great the food is overpriced and bang average. Consider the Glen Coe resort as a alternative, whilst the pods and cafe are more rustic you get a better sense of value for money, the service and food are also superior
Tailrace inn. This hotel is pass it’s end of life with poor staffing and horrific rooms, there’s better lodgings in Kinlochleven even if it’s in the pods at Blackwater. Spend the extra money and avoid this hotel until change of ownership or refurbishment.
Alexandra Hotel. Overpriced and run down, fort William in season is expensive but this hotel is long past its best from missing front signage to bathrooms beyond the lifespan and heating that makes rooms into sauna combined with old sash and case windows that only open an inch.
All of the above was noted from the individual hotel reviews but consider your accommodation wisely if taking in the challenge. We were lucky and the weather was great meaning the hotels were bare able (just) but in a different day after walking in the rain all day it might have been the straw that broke the camels back and turned a great trip into a disaster!

这条评论主要是提醒大家注意住宿:
金斯豪斯酒店(Kingshouse Hotel)价格极其昂贵,虽然环境优美,但食物价格过高且味道平平。可以考虑格伦科度假村(Glen Coe Resort),虽然那里的小屋和咖啡馆比较简陋,但性价比更高,服务和食物也更胜一筹。
尾水旅馆(Tailrace Inn):这家酒店已经过了鼎盛时期,员工素质低下,房间糟糕透顶。即使是黑水湾(Blackwater)的小屋,金洛赫莱文(Kinlochleven)也有更好的住宿选择。多花点钱,在酒店易主或翻新之前,千万别住这家。
亚历山德拉酒店(Alexandra Hotel):价格过高且破旧不堪。旺季的威廉堡(Fort William)消费本来就高,但这家酒店早已过了最佳状态:从没有招牌到浴室老化,再到暖气把房间变成桑拿房,以及只能打开一英寸的老式推拉窗,处处都透着一股老旧气息。以上内容均来自个别酒店的评价,但如果您打算挑战自我,请务必谨慎选择住宿。我们很幸运,天气很好,所以酒店勉强可以接受。但如果换作其他日子,在雨中走了一整天,酒店可能就成了压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草,让一次美好的旅行变成一场灾难!
