Ardeonaig Hotel & Restaurant

While it started life a few hundred years ago as a drover’s inn on the southern shore of Loch Tay, Ardeonaig didn’t become a hotel until 1915.

Back then, it was called The Ardeonaig Temperance Hotel as no alcohol was allowed or served on the premises.

Times have changed and these days Ardeonaig is known as a comfortable, welcoming hotel which is set amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe.

They also have a fine cellar.

Drink in the Ardeonaig experience with today’s Big Deal on an overnight stay at this very special hotel.

Spectacular, convenient location

Recently refurbished, Ardeonaig Hotel is under a two hour drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh yet feels a million miles away from the pressures of modern life.

Offering peace, tranquillity and luxury, it sits in ten acres of garden with commanding views straight over Loch Tay to the spectacular, snow-capped Lawers mountain range.

While travellers have rested at Ardeonaig since 1640, and the oldest parts of the main building date from that time, it combines this historical character with cosy, contemporary comforts.

Choice of rooms

Available seven days a week, with supplements for Saturday night stays, this offer has three options. All include a continental or full Scottish breakfast.

Option one is for two people to have a one night stay in a Loch View room. Loch View rooms have breathtaking views out over the grounds towards Loch Tay and Ben Lawers.

Option two is for two people to have an overnight stay in a Superior Double with loch view or Premier Studio room.

The Premier Studio room has separate access from the main hotel. Relax in this great big suite with its own wood-burning stove, wonderful en-suite large bath and exquisite walk-in shower. 

Perfect for a romantic experience, option three is for two people to have an overnight stay in a Garden Lodge or Bothy room with a three course set dinner.

Situated along the peaceful Ardeonaig Burn and equipped with luxury king beds, the Garden Bothies have large bathrooms with a roll top bath and walk-in shower, huge fluffy towels and mesmerising views of the loch, garden and mountains.

Lavish bathrooms

All guest bedrooms have been finished to an exacting high standard, with luxurious linens, contemporary decor and lavishly appointed bathrooms.

Guests can look forward to high class Scottish toiletries, a complimentary hospitality tray providing tea and freshly ground coffee facilities plus locally made snacks.

Scottish produce

A continental or full Scottish breakfast is included for all guests. Option three includes a three course dinner from the talented team in the Ardeonaig kitchens.

Loch Tay sits at the heart of an extraordinary natural larder and the chefs make good use of it. Wild game, fresh fish and organically-farmed meat is locally sourced and used on the seasonal menus.

See & do

As well as a plethora of countryside walks, there are numerous golf courses in the area; fantastic fishing opportunities; watersports at Taymouth Marina and attractions such as Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery, Pitlochry Hydroelectric Dam and Fish Ladder plus the Scottish Crannog Centre.

‘Lovely stay. I can thoroughly recommend a stay at this hotel. The location is spectacular, the service is excellent and the staff friendly and efficient. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant and there’s also a small cosy bar with an interesting selection of gins and vodkas. The hotel loaned us a couple of bikes for the day too. If you’re looking for some peace and quiet and a relaxing atmosphere you can’t go far wrong with Ardeonaig.’
