Inn Amenities

The house enjoys an elevated position well back from the road and was carefully designed by the owners to make the most of the panoramic views towards theBen Nevis range mountains.

There is plenty to do locally whatever your interests, and Faegour's location also makes it the ideal base for touring further afield in the Highlands.

Faegour house was purpose built by the proprietors, and all of its rooms have been carefully decorated and furnished to a high standard.

Enjoy the spectacular mountain views from our dining / lounge room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, whilst you have breakfast.

We don't serve dinners, but can recommend a number of restaurants a short distance away.

Area Activities

The Highland village of Spean Bridge, named after the structure built there by Thomas Telford, can be found where the Great Glen meets Glen Spean, some 12 miles to the NE of Fort William. The village nestles amongst the foothills of Britain's highest mountains, and some of the best views of Ben Nevis and its substantial neighbours can be seen in the area. Glen Spean stretches eastwards from Spean Bridge, towards Roy Bridge and Glen Roy Nature Reserve. The Great Glen, or "Glen Mor" opens up to the NE and SW of the village. The area makes an ideal holiday destination, whether you come for the walking, climbing, fishing, white water canoeing, riding, skiing, any of the other numerous activities available locally, or simply to relax and soak up the beautiful Highland scenery and warm local hospitality.

In Spean Bridge you will find the Woollen Mill, where you can buy traditional knitwear and tartans, and even watch them being made. There is also a tourist office, village store, post office, railway station, bus stop and a number of restaurants.

All within easy reach of Faegour House you will find:

Aonach Mor
8 miles to the SW of Spean Bridge, just off the A82, is the Aonach Mor Gondola Station. From here you can travel effortlessly up the slopes of Aonach Mor to enjoy some of Scotland's best skiing in the winter, or the walking and spectacular scenery in the summer.

Ben Nevis
The start of the main path up Britain's highest peak, at over 4000ft, is around 20mins drive from Faegour House. The guide books recommend that you leave 7 hours to climb and descend the mountain.

Caledonian Canal
Completed in 1822 by Thomas Telford, this canal system links the various lochs of Glen Mor (the Great Glen) to form a route (which is still navigable today) from West Coast to East Coast, starting in Fort William and ending in Inverness. Watch the boats navigate the Locks at Gairlochy and Neptune's Staircase, or enjoy a leisurely walk along a section of the tow path.

Cille Choirille
Some miles after Roy Bridge on the A86 there is a turning to the left which proceeds up a steep, narrow road. Here you will find the recently renovated, picturesque 14th century church and graveyard of Cille Choirille, with its dramatic views of Glen Spean. In this graveyard many of the leaders of the last Highland Uprising of 1745 are buried. There are many pilgrims from around the world who come back to the church year after year, and believe that it possesses special healing powers. If you come back down the hill and cross the main road, the track will lead you to the impressive Monessie Gorge, with a section of the West Highland Railway Line clinging defiantly to its side.

Commando Memorial
A short distance to the NE of Spean Bridge, travelling on the A82, you will find the Commando Memorial. Sculpted in bronze, the three Second World War soldiers, whose story is told in the nearby museum, survey their training area to the West. The views from the memorial are breat
