McInnes House Hotel

2018 is the the first year in business for McInnes House Hotel in Kingussie.

The new owners have embarked on a complete refurbishment of the building.

The aim is to create a hotel that combines 21st century comfort with traditional Scottish style and a warm Highland welcome.

Cairngorms National Park

McInnes House Hotel is in Cairngorms National Park which makes it the perfect base for anyone who loves outdoor pursuits and, especially at this time of year, winter sports.

With validity stretching from early January to the 28th March 2018, this Big Deal on an overnight stay would be ideal for anyone who wants to explore this stunning national park.

Cream tea or Prosecco

Available seven days a week, the offer is for two people to stay in a double or twin room with a full Scottish breakfast. Guests will be invited to choose between a cream tea during their stay or a chilled bottle of Prosecco on arrival.

All new and shiny

All bedrooms are being refurbished with new furnishings, decor, bedding and lots of TLC. They all have WiFi. They are all ensuite and have been refitted with a mix of walk-in showers, baths and whirlpools.

The bar is undergoing a major facelift and the coal fire in the dining room is being opened up. There is already a coal fire in the lounge and new, comfy sofas have been ordered so that guests can make the most of the cosy atmosphere.

In short, McInnes House Hotel is going to offer an enchanting combination of traditional Highland atmosphere with all the conveniences and modern comforts that today’s travellers expect.

Local sourcing

A full Scottish breakfast is included in the offer. If you choose to take other meals at Marshall’s Restaurant and Bar in the hotel then you can look forward to hearty, honest food made with carefully chosen, local and seasonal produce.

Local breweries and distilleries supply the hotel’s magnificent range of whisky, gin and beer, all complemented by wines from around the world.

See and do

The Cairngorms National Park covers 2796 square miles. There is a lot of it. If you like the outdoors, this is a truly spectacular destination.

​Cairngorm Mountain attracts some of the UK’s best snowboarders and skiers while The Lecht is, perhaps, better suited for families and beginners. Alternatively, head for Glenshee – home to the infamous Tiger, one of the most challenging black runs around.

From gentle rambles to serious walks, there is no shortage of paths and routes around these parts. ​The more adventurous can attempt mountaineering climbs and ice climbs in one of Europe’s last wildernesses.

To which we can add water sports, fishing, golf, distillery visits, horse trekking, wildlife watching, mountain biking and the ancient Highland sport of bungee jumping.

If all that sounds rather energetic, this is also a great area for touring. We recommend the Snow Roads Scenic Route – a 90-mile journey which takes you from the picturesque market town of Blairgowrie to the traditional Highland town of Grantown-on-Spey. The route traverses the highest public road in Britain taking you through some of the most outstanding landscapes in the eastern Cairngorms.

Treat yourself, spoil a loved one

We have said that this offer would make a fantastic gift for anyone with a passion for the great outdoors.

Of course, you could also use it to spoil a loved one. A winter getaway in the Cairngorms could be very romantic.
