Inspector comments
"A homely place with comfy beds and has dog-friendly guest rooms. It boasts traditional Scottish hospitality."
Overview
The Ben Wyvis Hotel is situated in idyllic woodland in the Victorian spa town of Strathpeffer in the shadow of its namesake mountain. It's a great base for exploring the Scottish Highlands. Guests arrive to the imposing façade of Ben Wyvis, yet indoors a warm and friendly welcome awaits them. It's a grand Victorian mansion full of character and charm and is complemented by the nature and adventure that sits on the doorstep. The hotel is surrounded by five acres of woodlands and landscaped mature gardens which are just as impressive as the building itself. Near to Inverness and Dingwall, Strathpeffer is home to a vibrant music scene and has been described as 'the Highland village of music'. There is also a wealth of activities in the area such as walking, golf, fishing and shooting, plus a wide choice of castles, gardens and whisky distilleries nearby for those looking for history and culture.

About the area
Apart from the Orkneys and the Shetlands, Highland is Scotland’s northernmost county. Probably its most famous feature is the mysterious and evocative Loch Ness, allegedly home to an ancient monster that has embedded itself in the world’s modern mythology, and the region’s tourist industry.
