The nearest pubs, restaurants and shops are within 1 mile from Black Grouse pod. The train station (which is less than 2 miles will away) will take you on the Harry Potter Steam Train and over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, passing some of the most spectacular scenery and beaches that cannot be seen from the road down to Mallaig. The latter is renowned as a fishing village and also where you can get a ferry over to the Isle of Skye (remember to pre book the train as it fills up quickly).
Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK and is one of the munros you can enjoy a walk up to the summit. The Nevis Range hosts the European Bike Trials.
South of Fort William you have Glencoe; no matter what time of year you travel through Glencoe it is a mystical land and will not fail to impress. Again, it offers great walks for all abilities and there is also a ski lift for those that enjoy the winter sport (in the summer the dry ski slope is open for tubing, a great fun day for all the family). If you are looking for something to do on a rest day in Fort William itself, there is a cinema, soft play, ten pin bowling, swimming pool or enjoy a walk over to Neptunes Staircase.
Using Black Grouse pod as your base, you can also visit the Acharacle Peninsula; the fish capital of the Highlands, Oban; Loch Ness; the Isle of Mull, Rum and Eigg and many more.

I cannot speak highly enough of this place. Right from the second we walked in the door and saw the dog treat in the bowl we knew this was the place for us.It was so well maintained we could have felt like the first guests but then we read the guest book and saw the tens and tens of reviews praising the stay and the accommodation (don’t let the small number of reviews on here make you think this place isn’t popular as I think we were lucky to find an unbooked block!).Short drive from Fort William but it is totally walkable, plenty of eateries, a lot of which are dog friendly, a Lidl and a Morrisons. Well placed for visiting Loch Ness, Inverness, Glencoe, Mallaig (with ferry to Skye), Ben Nevis and the Nevis Range Gondola (which we would recommend also).We will definitely be back to this place where we felt immediately at home and even when the weather wasn’t great you still had an amazing view to bring you peace.
