Inspector comments
"Historic country house hotel that offers a classic Scottish welcome."
Overview
This Scottish country house is a fine stone mansion dating from 1755 and has benefitted from a full refurbishment in 2024. Attractive public rooms include a comfortable drawing room, a beautifully appointed dining room and a welcoming bar where traditional music is often heard. You will be welcomed into the delightful hall, where a log fire blazes. Along pine-panelled walls hang an atmospheric collection of paintings including an impressive portrayal of the 1745 Jacobite Rising at Glenfinnan.

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.
