Inverlochy Castle Hotel

In winter, the Highlands are often wild, windswept and beautifully dramatic.

They make the perfect backdrop to a romantic getaway and, when it comes to romance, Inverlochy Castle is in a league of its own.

Queen Victoria spent a week here in 1873 and wrote in her diaries ‘I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot.’

We wouldn’t argue although we would point out that Inverlochy Castle Hotel has been much improved since Victorian days.

Often cited as Scotland’s finest country house hotel, Inverlochy Castle is a world class destination which sits just outside Fort William.

Boutique hotel

Located amongst the glens, lochs and mountains of the West Highlands of Scotland, Inverlochy is a seventeen room, boutique hotel where every detail of guests’ comfort and enjoyment has been carefully considered.

From the award-winning food to the Rolls Royce Phantom which guests can hire, everything about Inverlochy Castle Hotel reflects the very best of Scottish hospitality.

Naturally, the elegant surroundings are matched by the warmth and friendliness of the staff. It really is a stunning hotel.
It is also a member of The Collection, a group of small, luxury hotels under the management of ICMI.

Local activities

Inverlochy Castle Hotel is situated in Lochaber, A.K.A. The Outdoor Capital of the UK, and is well known for its mountain biking and climbing. Of course, Inverlochy can arrange anything from horse riding to fishing for guests. Ben Nevis can be seen from a number of the hotel’s rooms should you fancy stretching your legs.

Alternatively, take tea in the Great Hall and see if you can spot the entrance to the secret library.

Easily Accessible

Inverlochy has its own helicopter landing site but it’s equally as accessible by car with Glasgow, Perth and Edinburgh all under a three hour drive. This makes Inverlochy Castle Hotel very convenient for a short break.
