This is the perfect spot to relax in and enjoy the area with many activities and attractions within driving distance.
The nearest pubs, restaurants and shops are within 1 mile from Cheviot 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 Cheviot 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.

Fab place to rest your head after a long days sight seeing and walking 🩷 does need a little attention to certain things that are slipping after having most probably busy seasons. But it is over all a lovely place to stay(bit noisey up until 10pm) don’t expect an early night, it’s on the edge of a housing estate but the views make up for it! And all the amenities are fantastic!

Couldn’t fault the pod, it is cosy, comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. I would never tire waking up to those views every day! I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Cheviot is stunning. Really cosy, immaculately clean and fully equipped. We were a family of four visiting and we really enjoyed our stay here. The views from the decking over the loch were amazing. The beds were very comfortable and the skylight above the bed was perfect for gazing up at the night sky. The host was very kind and answered any queries promptly we had , but left us to it and wasn’t intrusive at all. Would highly recommend a stay here, you would not be disappointed.
