Fort William Holiday Lodge
Sonos Speakers
To be able to use the Sonos Speakers to their full you need to be connected to the Highwinds wifi with your smart device (Password: BenNevis). Once you are connect to the Wifi the best two options are if you have a Spotify subscription simply loading up Spotify and using Spotify Connect will let you choose which speaker(s) you can play your music on.
If none of your group have a Spotify subscription then you can download the Sonos App to your smart device, when connected to the Highwinds wifi you’ll be able to access the houses Spotify account and search for songs from there.
Another option is using Apple Airplay to send songs to the speakers however I find sound quality is lost with this option.
The speaker in this room is called ‘Living Room Move’ feel free to move the speaker but please leave the dock in the room and return the speaker to the dock to charge at check out. The speaker by the Ben Nevis chair is called ‘Ben Nevis Chair’.
Books
Hopefully you will find our bookshelf reasonably well stocked with interesting books about the Highlands. Please treat our books with care, the longer they last the more we can stock. If there’s a specific book you’d like us to get for your next visit let us know!
Board Games
In the wooden cabinet there are a number of board games, feel free to take these out and use them in the dining room, please return the board games to where you found them at the end of your stay.
If you notice any missing pieces from any of the board games please do let us know so we can replace them.
Sliding Door
Feel free to use the sliding door as you wish but try to keep it locked and shut as much as possible, especially if the midges are out in force! It takes a bit of force to slide the door to shut and latch, you will know when its shut properly when you can turn the lock to the right position as shown below.
Sofa Covers
If you’ve told us you’re bringing your pet(s) we’ll leave sofa covers on the sofas. Please use them as this will help any guests that come after you if they have allergies. Any unreasonable damage caused by your pets will be billed and reported.
Controlling the lights
You can control the lamps and wall lights in this room with the Phillips hue remote that is one the wall. You can switch them off and on and change their colours and brightness with the remote.
Ben Nevis Chair
There is a chair by the front door that has the perfect view of Ben Nevis. It’s a great place to have a morning coffee. On the table by this chair there are colouring pencils and books. Please feel free to use these during your stay but please leave so that other guests can enjoy too! There are also binoculars which you can use to look at the North Face of Ben Nevis
