Review summary

Powered by AI
The Factor's Inn & Factor's Cottage provides spacious rooms and a convenient location for exploring attractions such as the Glenfinnan Viaduct, about 25 minutes away. Many appreciate the beautiful grounds and proximity to a stunning castle, making it a great option for those who find the castle itself beyond their budget. Some guests have found the on-site restaurant's limited menu and pricing to be somewhat expensive. The presence of two bathrooms in some rooms, with both a tub and shower, is often highlighted as a plus.

Excellent stay near Inverlochy Castle

large room comfortable bed free parking
The room was large and the bed was comfortable (i slept like a log!). Tea and coffee making facilities were available. The grounds of the nearby castle were beautiful. I was able to leave my car there for the day without issue as free parking was available.
The instructions to find the room were vague. It was in a different building where we registered. It was a short drive away.
