Sweetheart yurt (four person)
Liked: The yurt was very cosy and so well put together! We loved the wood burner and all of the beds were comfy and clean. Was such a relaxing base to return to after a long day enjoying the mountains and lochs. The staff were so kind and friendly! The view of Ben Nevis from the yurt was incredible, and we loved being able to spot the yurt as we climbed up the mountain.

Otter yurt
Liked: What a gem of a place. The location is stunning. The views are out of this world. Waking up to Ben Nevis each morning was such a treat. Perfect place for watching the stars. Lovely walks in the forest behind the site; watched red dear literally only steps in front of us. Brilliant for birdwatching and nature in all its glory. All the local people were very friendly and we felt most welcome everywhere we went. There is so much to do in the area and it is an absolute paradise for people who love the outdoors. Thoroughly recommend the gondola up the mountain adjacent to Ben Nevis. The kitchen facilities were brilliantand the bathrooms were very clean and the showers really warm. We do not drive and I would say you really need to in this part of the world. We had an amazing stay at Great Glen Yurts.
Disliked: We had our first experience of dogs not being allowed on buses. City link to not allow dogs; however Shiel bus service does. This did not distract from our enjoyment and we got taxis instead. Lovely local taxi drivers who were very engaging.

Eagle yurt
Liked: We loved everything about our stay at Great Glen Yurts! When we arrived we were blown away by the views, beautiful. Then when we saw our Yurt we were in love, it was perfectly sized for us! We’re a family of 5, so myself and husband had the double bed, our 2 girls had the bunk beds and then the little one had the pull out bed. Plenty of space! As the evenings drew in it got a bit chilly as the weather wasn’t the best for us, so we popped the log burner on….15 mins of that roaring away and we were all toasty! The personal kitchen area for each yurt is a great touch, there was everything we needed with regard to cutlery and pots and pans etc and the picnic benches were a lovely setting for eating at. The facilities were cleaned every day which was perfect. The area around the site was lovely, there’s a little stream where the kids loved playing in. You are about 10 mins drive from Fort William where there’s loads of supermarkets and things so you can get your food supplies for the stay. Definitely would love to stay again.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Brilliant location. The individual kitchen is a huge perk, and the shepherd’s hut is a great place to sleep. The log burner and fire wood makes the whole set-up perfect for getting about the highlands, and recharging overnight. The whole atmosphere is very relaxed. There are only four pitches so zero chance of overcrowding. Look no further - it’s brilliant.
