Boswell and Johnson visited this very spot as part of their “Journey to the Western Isles” in 1773 and whilst the magnificent views remain timeless, you can now stay in this large country house to enjoy them from.

Built in 1865, this large Victorian former country house hotel has outstanding views across Loch Ness. In recent years it has been tastefully refurbished in a subtle style ensuring the “hotel” aspect is being replaced with the fun aspect of staying at a charming “country house”.
