Happy guests

From its earliest days as a hunting lodge some 150 years ago, The Inch Hotel has been giving guests a warm Highland welcome.
This is what a couple of recent and very happy visitors had to say of their stay:

‘Perfection every step of the way. From the moment we arrived the service was top notch, nothing was too much trouble. The decor is really nice and the open log fire adds a great touch… The food was out of this world and the presentation was outstanding. The room itself was very comfortable with a huge wardrobe… We were made to feel right at home every step of the way: a perfect stay with perfect hosts. A credit to the company!!!’

‘Lovely hotel with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming former hunting lodge. The staff were delightful and our bed was enormous in the Ness room. A lovely hotel. The view from the room was stunning and there are plenty of beautiful walks from the hotel.’

This Big Deal would be ideal for a romantic break; a walking trip to the Highlands or simply a well earned rest on the banks of Loch Ness.

The truly energetic could even make good use of the snow and strap on their skis.
