Great service!! Amazing location, short walk to bus and train station. A simple solution to not having to carry full rucksack up Ben Nevis.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and the booking system was really straightforward. Although our bags were ultimately totally safe and fine, it was a bit disconcerting to leave them in the small hotel lobby and not in a secure room or locker. The staff member on duty when we dropped them off explained that there was a strong system for people not taking the wrong bags or just stealing them, but we weren’t really sure that it was really all that secure. But as I say, our bags were still there when we got back with nothing missing so it was all ok. Just wouldn’t leave anything uber valuable or irreplaceable there.

The West Highland Museum and Highland Cinema are both on Cameron Square, and the cinema may search your bag before you go in.

Arriving and getting around with bags
The station sits in the town centre with the bus station right next door, so it's a very short hop between the two. The West Highland Line from Glasgow is the main rail link, with the journey taking roughly 3 hours 50 minutes. All platforms are step-free, which helps if you're travelling with luggage.
Sights and bag rules at attractions
The West Highland Museum at Cameron Square is an 8-minute walk from both stations, so it's easy to reach on foot once your bags are stored. Highland Cinema, also on Cameron Square, may ask to search your bag before you enter a screen, though the venue itself is fully wheelchair accessible.
Given Fort William's reputation as the Outdoor Capital of the UK, storing your bags frees you up to head for the hills.
