Inverlochy Castle *****

Starting Price / Night
 
Majestic views over loch and glen set the scene at Scotland’s finest castle retreat
 
A backdrop of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. Enchanting secret gardens. Lush woodland reflected in the mirrored surface of the hotel’s loch. Its picture-perfect setting, three miles from Fort William town, makes Inverlochy Castle a Scottish masterpiece of 19th century baronial splendour. From the dovegrey stone walls and romantic turrets, through to the sumptuously furnished rooms.
 
Relaxing in this renowned retreat is as effortless as enjoying the various sporting and country pursuits nearby. Arrive in a Rolls Royce Phantom or helicopter – the hotel will be happy to arrange either. Then stretch out on deep-canopied beds in your spacious bedroom or suite, before going down to Afternoon Tea. Accompany this with a glass of Albert Roux’s Rosé Champagne for a sparkling hint of the evening’s culinary delights in the Albert and Michel Roux Jr restaurant.
 
If you can tear yourself away from the palatial comforts walk around the woodland gardens and down to Inverlochy Castle’s tranquil private loch. Or test your aim with clay pigeon shooting, archery and tomahawk throwing. Slightly further afield, all kinds of activities can be booked, including wildlife and photography tours, cycling, fishing, hunting and shooting. If you’re here during winter, why not try some snow sports on Aonach Mor, with Nevis Range being right on the doorstep.
