Ben Nevis Inn

Stayed here one night whilst driving the NC500, we parked in the public parking bays at the side of the Inn, they don't allow campervans in their carpark. We had a meal here, although the food was average the actual Inn itself had more appeal, a solid building built from local stone plus its at the start of the Ben Nevis hike. Offered good shelter from the storm that hit mid October 2023.

Staff were all very polite and attentive. The pub had loads of character and vibe. The menu was exactly what we enjoy, so we were spoiled for choice! Quality of the food itself was outstanding especially for the very fair price. The selection of beers and wines were again top notch. The best food and overall dining experience we've had in a long time. If only we had more pubs like this 🙏

We visited for a large family meal with some family local, and others travelling. We were given a big space and accommodated well, especially considering how busy it was. We prebooked (which I suggest you do) as it is at the foot of Ben Nevis so is very busy with tourists. The food and service were top notch.

My 4 friends and I booked a room at the Ben Nevis Inn as our first stop for our 3 peak challenge in aid of charity, ready to take on the Ben Nevis in the morning. We called them on route as we were going to be late for food and the kitchen closed at 8:30 however they let us pre order our food and kept the kitchen open for our late arrival. The food was outstanding, generous portions, impeccable flavour and reasonably priced, washed down nicely with probably one of the finest ales that has touched my lips. The rooms were clean and modern, had all the amenities you needed and more! The staff were more than accommodating, helpful, caring and very efficient, im confident the owner would be safe in the knowledge that his staff are more than capable of providing a professional and friendly service! My car had broke down and my recovery provider was useless and couldn’t sort my hire car out or recovery without me holding their hand so I had to do it myself in order for us to complete the 3 peak challenge in time. We went back in to the Ben Nevis Inn for another beautifully cooked lunch and of course another ale at which point we needed a lift to the garage where our hire car would await us. After calling round numerous taxi services and having no hope, I asked the staff if there would be anyone willing to take us down the road to Fort William to collect our transport at which point the owner literally jumped at the opportunity without hesitation! He took us to the garage to collect the car and held on to my vehicle keys ready to collect in the morning. He, like his staff, was very kind for doing this and very hospitable, in his words ‘it’s nice to be nice’! I cannot fault this place one bit, if I could give it 6 stars that would still not be enough. So thank you to all but especially the owner for doing what he did Myself and all my friends are more than pleased with their help and will be eternally grateful for everything the owner done for us. If you are looking for a place to eat or stay you will not find a better place than the Ben Nevis Inn, I know we will certainly be back! See you again

A gorgeous Inn at the foot of Ben Nevis. The food and drink are amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful. I wanted to give this place 5 stars but I don't like the prices of they're food. Very expensive for my taste but, don't let that put you off. Its still a great place and, if you can get a seat, we'll worth popping in for a cuppa or cold beverage after your gruelling journey up and down the mountain.

We had dinner here twice, once before and after walking up Ben Nevis. Both nights we had exceptional service. Even though we hadn't booked they managed to work us in between bookings. The venison sausages and black pudding was dish of the nights. The local band was a great surprise, and well worth the slower start the next day!

We visited the inn several times during our stay in Glen Nevis. What a lovely little place with a great selection of ales and awesome food. Haggis starter and venison sausages a personal favorite for me. Highly recommend this place and will visit again when I muster up the courage for the ~12 hour drive!
