Ben Nevis Inn in Highland

Parfait pour un repas en famille très bons produits on recommande. A la sortie belle ballade avec une vue magnifique entoure de moutons qui se promènent...

Rushed in to escape the rain and what a gem we found! Warm and friendly atmosphere, wonderful staff and good home cooked food ! The views from the terrace are said to be something special, so will return !

Plat copieux et de qualité dans un lieux très agréable. Restaurant trouvé par hasard avec les avis du site. Je recommande cet établissement !

A lovely place to stop and view surrounded area Staff wonderful and knowledgeable

Just had a birthday dinner with my partner and her daughter tonight. Asked if the staff (Tom) over the phone could they bring a birthday cake I bought as a surprise to the table. No problem I got told. Went through the whole meal paid the bill and said I better take the cake you NEVER brought to the table only to be told I didn't know when to take it over. Any time would have been appropriate. Raging does not even cover how I feel about being let down like that. A major birthday like that comes just once. Thanks Ben Nevis inn.

The venue: No frills but super-cosy and inviting. Benches run the length of the main building, log burner in the corner and some cute fairy lights. The food: I defy you to find a better neeps and tatties. Between us and our two friends, we've collectively been here four times now (it's hundreds of miles from home, we don't take the journey lightly!) and we've never been disappointed. I can't bring myself to deviate from the rumbledethumps but my husband had the venison burger and it was off-the-charts good. The service: Charming and genuine, and as consistent as the food.

Great place to stay. Food is really nice the pub is nice and cosy.

A very pleasant and quiet place. Rooms with a beautiful view. The rooms are small, but sufficient for one night. Problem with hot water in the shower in the morning. Suggestion - a hairdryer in the room would be a huge plus. The restaurant is amazing. Huge and delicious portions. You can experience traditional Scottish cuisine. The service was nice and helpful.

Nice for a night with friends. Every centimeter is used. Very well appointed, very clean and modern

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. We weren’t sure when we were booking it but we still thought need to give it a go. And what an amazing atmosphere and delicious food! For the first time ever I tried Cullen skink and it was so good I had to make it at home myself. We really enjoyed it.

Just had a coffee after completing the wee hill, staff were pleasant and coffee was well earned. Very comfortable and warm. Will be visiting again.

Lovely little pub at the foot of Ben Nevis

We ate at the Ben Nevis Inn between Christmas and New Year and enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal of slow cooked ham hough. We'd no room for desserts unfortunately! A really lovely building with such a great atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff and good food. What's not to like?! We will definitely be back!

I ate at the restaurant. Food, beer, and service were good.

Each accommodation is pleasant and sufficiently large. Location close to hiking departures. Plan to book, the restaurant is also very good by the way.

We just visited the restaurant for dinner.The food was really tasteful and the staff was super friendly.

The front stuff very welcome, the waiters well know what they doing and very plesent. The food can't recommended enough. Was delicious and portion are huge 😋. Definitely getting back here again !!!

The best thing is this place surrounded by sheep! So, your first morning view once you open the room will be an innocent sheep chewing grass while staring at you. Yess, and you are still half awake, can be a good staring contest. There's no stove in the room, quite a small portion of cutlery and in a bunkbed style. The reception is in the restaurant, in a separate building and will be closed before midnight. No grocery store nearby, Behind the room was Ben Nevis, magnificent to see in every part of the day, unless super thick fog started to appear.

Rally nice pub with great food, classy pub atmosphere and awesome service, staff explained the local food to us. The mussels were yummy and all reasonably priced. If after a traditional pub with a log fire, go here.

Popped in for a bite to eat and a coffee after a good hike and the food.... Unbelievably delicious. The service was something this business can be proud of. The facilities are prestine. Well done and thank you.

Surrounded by sheep and stunning views everywhere you look. Clean and very pleasant rooms. It has a separate room for drying clothes and shoes, which is great!

We went to get some lunch after we finished climbing Ben Nevis! Fantastic foods and such a comfortable place to relax and take in the warmth of fire wood! I had an entree haggis and venison burger main which was a super delicious and generous portion. Clean bathroom and helpful staff. We traveled from overseas and couldn't call the taxi on our mobile but the staff helped call one for us to get back to the train station. Definitely recommend for food and drinks if you are in the area!

Awsome food, good atmosphere and helpfull staff. Highly recommended

Staff are really welcoming as soon as you walk in, the place has a lovely atmosphere and the it’s really nice having all the old mountaineering equipment and nods to the local area on display. Food is great, gluten free options are also no problem, coffee is good too. There are lots of negative comments about dogs here. Bit if you’re like me and don’t like dogs, hate having other folks wet dogs next to you while you eat and also think they are unhygienic in eating areas then this is the place to go. I think people forget not everyone likes or needs to accept dogs!

Very good hostel if you want to attempt the ascent of Ben Nevis! Warm atmosphere and the beers are local and good.

Lovely meal, nice staff and decent prices. Best pub in Fort William. Recommended

Excellent food and excellent service. Worth booking in advance. An excellent menu and local ales and whiskies to accompany. A 'must go place' for walkers/mountaineers and anyone visiting fort William or glen Nevis.

We had luch, it was really good food and a great place after a long and chilly walk at the Ben Nevis trail.

What an amazing place, the atmosphere was fantastic, the staff were friendly and helpful. But the food!!!! I think I had the best meal I have ever tried. !!! Had chicken and haggis with a whisky sauce and everything was perfect.

The whole experience was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere, the cosy interior with a real fire , waitress service was helpful and friendly and the food wow the food was 1st class , compliments to the chef , my husband had the Cullen Skink which he said was delicious, then he had Cajun chicken again he really enjoyed, l had the chicken and haggis Rumbledethumps , my word gorgeous, hope they never change the menu , because when we call in again when we travel to Scotland, it would be same again please

It was the perfect place to stay for us on our way to Skye. Beautiful surroundings, children loved the bunk beds... We will climb Ben Nevis next time. The restaurant is unmissable: very authentic atmosphere, the food is fantastic !!!!

We popped into this place just on the off chance it's off the beaten track but we'll worth a visit we was welcomed in an had a lovely evening with drinks and food as the fire 🔥 was burning keeping us warm and dry would definitely go back

My experience with the staff has been amazing which I would like to share. It was my first experience with climbing Ben Nevis with a group. I found the experience challenging due to weather conditions and after coming down I lost my iphone just outside the inn whilst looking for my coach. I couldn’t find it then and left leaving my details at the inn. After a few days I got a call from the inn staff who said it was handed in and they offered to send it across to me free of charge (Royal Mail collection from there wasn’t possible at the time). I was very touched by the kindness shown by the staff, thank you.

They are between Ben Nevis and the car park so it would be rude not to stop. Gave me free reign of their special tap water tap before I started on the beer. 3 pints of beer was just enough to remove the rough edges of the memory of the walk to the top and leave you with just the good memories.

Very interesting place . Remote and in the middle of nature. Used to be a farmhouse I believe. Remind me if youth accommodation. Liked it there . Very special

Nice bar/eatery at the foot of Ben Nevis a couple of mile outside of fort William. It’s literally at the start of one of the walks up to the summit. A few ales on from local cairngorm brewery including a ruby one (wildcat) a citrusy hoppy ale (tradewind) and a stout (black gold) I tried all the ale and enjoyed my first time on them. I visited on a Friday evening and it was busy with walkers. All tables booked for food so if you want to eat you’d best ring ahead. You can sit on sofas upstairs or stand at the (small) bar or outside just to drink. It does clear out later and space becomes available. Large enough carpark but there is parking nearby for a stop over with no restriction or cost. Also does bunkhouse accommodation. Recommended 🍻 🏔️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great food, great people, great atmosphere, great location. Couldn't fault a thing, don't change anything.

Perfect place for lunch or dinner! The atmosphere is perfectly Scottish! The view from our table, so wonderful! Service was great! Make sure to hike a least a little way behind the restaurant for some gorgeous views!

We were here for lunch on 13 Sep. The setting was beautiful, the restaurant was warm and cosy,the staff were very accommodating.Food was amazing and the price was good. Had a great lunch.

Stunning location ,, food was beyond delicious. Will definitely require a re visit when the weather is better to see more !!

Wonderful location at the feet of the Ben Nevis; we had one of the beat meals here in our Scotland vacation. Loved the inn and the people. Great caring staff and wonderful meals. This is a must.

It's a hidden gem at the bottom of that wee hill!!!! It's not a big menu but very varied. Service was fantastic & staff are lovely. It's a friendly relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious, great size portions & value for money

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Ben Nevis Inn after completing tge West Highland Way. Fabulous food, fairly priced friendly efficient staff and a great atmosphere.

So after a long hard slog up and down Ben Nevis we stopped off for a pint. But then thought let's see if they have space for food. Well I am so pleased they did. Portion sizes where proper, and the food and service top quality. Just what you need after a long climb!

A great spot if not blowing a gale and raining! Better weather would give a better experience. We booked because on a Tuesday there is live music. We were staying in Fort William so not a huge drive but a dark winding road to navigate, we thought it would be worth it. The food was okay….. I had fish and chips. In my humble opinion the fish could have survived another 3/4 mins. Perfect for some but not cooked enough for me, slimy and uncooked batter. My husband had the venison sausages, nice but a bit tough although I guess they are? The live music didn’t happen…..to be fair apparently the first time in 15 years so I guess our bad luck. Nice place overall and as in everywhere in this area fantastic friendly staff!

Great place to arrive after a beautiful walk and enjoy the view and a lovely cold beer 🍺

This place is EXCEPTIONAL! The bunk room for 4 was brilliant. Much nicer than YHAs we have stayed in previously. Fantastic views from the front door. The food is the pub was phenomenal. No idea how they produce such amazing food in the tiniest kitchen, but it was fantastic. Could not recommend staying or eating here more! Thank you! 🤩

Ok we did the tourist walk; up and over to the first ridge then back to the pub. Great addition to the experience. Lovely ambience. Met a Mum and Dad waiting for their kids, 41 and 39, to come on down the mountain. Special.

Other then the stunning views I'm not sure why people rate this place so highly. The staff were friendly but the menu is limited and average at best. Go for a drink and absorb the surrounding beauty but eat elsewhere

Very good food, top service and fair prices! Clearly recommended.

We called in here a couple of times during our stay in Fort William. The Inn is ideally located to the foot of Ben Nevis and comfortably accommodates walkers and outdoor types. We had lunch and dinner, there is good variety to choose from the menu and they accommodate vegan and gluten free options, all clearly labelled (this is a big plus for coeliacs). Food quality and service was very good.

The cabins are new and spacious with a big bathroom. The only downside are the beds: uncomfortable and so damn noisy! Location is perfect, we were even lucky enough to see the northern lights. The restaurant is top with very good food.

Beautiful inn at the foot of Ben Nevis. Despite what Google maps says, it's a 2 minute walk from the Visitor Centre.

Good hiding spot for the never ending rain. Food is really good, but a bit expensive.

Beautiful place to share a delicious burger after a walk on the sides of Ben Nevis

Beautiful meal in an amazing setting. Efficient, friendly and helpful. Top place.

Great Place Offering Shelter and Good Ale.....Make sure to book a table for food before you go....very busy inn at the base of ben nevis. Food is a bit pricey as well as drinks but expected because of location.

Best place for someone who is planning to trek Ben Nevis.

Delicious and very good quality food. With the best views in the region.

Perfect accommodation for hiking Ben Nevis,breathtaking views,The path starts literally on the doorstep,nice little car park, friendly staff, What more could you ask for.

Very tasty restaurant with pleasant prices. Perfect for lunch after the hiking tour. Great ambience.

Drinking a good beer after Ben Nevis is a pleasure

A well deserved pint after tackling nevis.

Rooms do what they need to do, five of us bunked up for three peaks! The pub however is excellent, lovely vibe, good beer and good food. Please get rid of the sauce sachets, it just cheapens the whole thing!

We ate at the Ben Nevis Inn the day before going up to Ben Nevis, we had a great time! Very good and very pleasant staff!

Not what I was expecting! Booked only a few weeks before our trip when there were limited accommodation options. Not a place we would usually stay but glad we did. We didn't eat at the inn but it was very busy every evening. Rooms were a good size, basic but well decorated and with everything you need. Mattresses and pillows were comfy. Each bed has it's own usb point to charge your phone and a lamp. Good shower pressure too. In a great location for walking Ben Nevis and views. Only negative was the price- it was very expensive for what you get (but it was peak season). Would definitely recommend.

Stopped for a pint after climbing Ben Nevis. It tasted amazing. I even got to sit outside in some decent weather! Didn't stay for food as it was quite busy.

Perfect location and delicious food. The staff were friendly and check-in/check-out was smooth. Do book the restaurant ahead - it is well worth it.

Really great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great place to rest. The food is pretty good. Nothing's mind-blowing though. The fish and chips are decent.

Great food, the girls were nice, ...

Stopped in for lunch with family and yet again, not disappointed. You know, if the locals use a place, it's got to be good!

This place is amazing. Always has been, always will. Sorry I’ve not left a review before but I will now: Best food. Great portion sizes. Fab hard working staff. To harsh reviewers: don’t be rude about the staff- they work so hard. It’s the restaurant at the foot of the Ben so it gets overwhelmingly busy so give them a break if at times they seemed a bit rushed off their feet; the amount of hikers they get on a daily basis who at times are bound to be grumpy with tiredness after a long day- sometimes stressed from variable weather conditions at the top of the Ben. The only negative reviews otherwise seem to be about the place not being dog friendly. I am as dog friendly as it gets, I am a huge dog lover BUT I completely understand their reasoning for not allowing them inside. They do not deserve such negative reviews for this reason. It’s so unfair. And also at the end of the day their decision. Get over it. To say it’s ridiculous because of the amount of dogs that go to the Ben etc why on earth have you not looked in to it before hand before bringing your dog?! You must be aware that you are going up the busiest route in the uk…. One of the biggest attractions. So you can’t honestly expect to just waltz on in without booking a table and checking the dog situation. Anyway, going back to my positive review of this wonderful restaurant- you never disappoint guys. Food so yum and such good ambience. Thank you!

Big English who owns it was great 👍

The food was very delicious! Savory, just awesome!

Only popped in for a post Nevis pint. Nice beer & quick service.

Great good, location, staff and gin.

Mushroom soup to die for! Friendly, relaxed service. Stunning views, lovely food

We had dinner here the night before hiking Ben Nevis and the food was excellent. We had the chicken with haggis, the beef burger, the sticky toffee pudding, and the cranachan. Cooked to perfection and arrived quickly. Prompt, friendly service from the staff. Beautiful location. Highly recommend this place.

Our visit to the restaurant was very pleasant. We were warmly welcomed and had a very nice place up in the barn. What immediately caught the eye was the pleasant atmosphere, which had a rustic and rural feel thanks to some details. The haggis was very good, the burger was excellent and the game platter stood out. The beer and lemonade were also delicious. All in all, we really enjoyed our visit and can only recommend it.

Nice people and a really welcome pint after a hard walk.

Nice place but could be better. Staff's attitude requires some improvement.

Outstanding inn really great food and generous helpings for a good price, great staff and lovely ales. Perfect for coming off the mountain, so good we went back later for dinner.

Had dinner here post a hike up Ben Nevis, lovely staff fitted us in between table Reservation times. Fantastic food, price of food was good. Would recommend to anyone passing by. This is just an observation and not a criticism we felt the big sign in plastic saying Ben Nevis Inn ruins the overall look and feel of the place. Note: We did not sleep at the inn just had dinner, but if the welcome and great service we had then I would expect the hotel/inn side of this would be just as good.

Ben Nevis Inn - great starting point for a hike on Ben Nevis: N 56° 48' 39.67" , W 5° 4' 17.77" - I can and have left my campervan free on the driveway overnight - from 10 p.m. It has become quieter, there are hardly any cars driving - In the morning I started straight to Ben Nevis, a few steps away - and after the hike I stopped at the Ben Nevis Inn, where I had a cozy and rustic meal, very friendly, very great!

Great meal and location is beautiful

Climb a mountain and a pub at the end hevan

Stopped here for a celebratory pint after scaling Ben Nevis. Great pint in a great location.

Long winding and narrow road up to the restaurant/hotel which is a bit exclusive. A hiking trail up to Ben Nevis starts here and there is also a public parking lot where we just got a place with the motorhome.

We just had a meal and some drinks but the service and food were great. It was a Friday night and the tables were well organised by helpful staff. Most enjoyable in a stunning, historic venue. Thanks to all.

Dogs only allowed outside and I was kept waiting at the bar for over 10 minutes to order food to be told that they stopped serving meals for outside at 5pm and this was a 1 minute passed

Great place. Great people. Great food. Wish they sold the shirts though. I would have bought some for the family.

Excellent food at such a perfect setting!!!! The service was exceptional every staff member was inviting and joyful! I wish they sold the shirts!!! 😞😞😞 stock the shirts! Loved the “wee inn at the foot of the Ben”.

Excellent food, excellent spot to stay after a hike at Ben Nevis.

Great place for overnight and delicious food. Perfect service - people who take care for you, inform about weather changes if you are going to hike around. You can feel there like at home. I recommend with all my heart.

Really impressed with this place! We had one night to finish our grand tour and it was a pleasure to stay here. The rooms were great for 4 blokes. The restaurant was brilliant and the atmosphere jolly with some locals having a jam. Perfect location for accessing Ben the path is right outside!

A stroll to a nice pub. Need midge spray. Lovely little place and very busy.

Did'nt stay so can't comment on the bunk house

Unfortunately they are not dog friendly. They won’t allow dogs inside but they won’t serve you food outside(the only place you can sit with your dogs)in the middle of June-I would understand if it was winter. I was really looking forward for a good cooked meal and an ale after the hike👎👎👎👎

Thank you for the welcome and for this good time around a good plate! Erwan.
