Achintee Farm

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights to hike Ben Nevis. This was the perfect place to do that! It was an easy walk to the trail head. We ate breakfast at 7:30 and started our hike by 9am. Our stay here was wonderful. It felt like staying at a relative's house instead of a bed and breakfast. Breakfast was great as well! The smoothies were delicious and we loved the selection of cheeses. The location was serene. After our hike, we were able to relax. There is also a river that you can walk to at the back of the property which was a nice place to sit and enjoy the environment. If you are considering staying here, we highly recommend!

Where the Mountain Track proper begins, with a deceptive gentle slope through fairy-tale birch woods. The original 1883 Pony Track stones still visible beneath modern gravel. Morning mists often linger here until midday, creating an eerie atmosphere as hikers' shadows loom suddenly from the fog. The adjacent B&B's garden has the last proper flowers before alpine zone begins.

This place is amazing. Started here with my daughter to celebrate her birthday and climb the Ben + do some other hiking. Perfect location, cottage in perfect working order - clean, warm and cosy. Just a few metres away from the lovely Ben Nevis Inn. Dom was an epic host. Super responsive, flexible, informative, kind and even ran us down to the station for our train. Absolutely brilliant find. We'll be back. A tip - book directly!!
