Lovat Arms
This purpose built station hotel sits high on the banks of the old Kilwhimen Barracks in the highland town of Fort Augustus by the ebb of Loch Ness. It even houses the west curtain wall of the original fort, complete with gun embrasures. This historic area has a compelling variety of expeditions to be completed, from walking Telford’s Caledonian canal, the Great Glen Way to the more challenging Corrieyairack Pass. Golf, horseriding, water pursuits & fishing can also be arranged locally. The whole hotel has undergone a massive refurbishment programme, delicately offering a contemporary modern experience admidst the welcoming charm of this Victorian hotel. Always aspiring to be innovative, the new central heating & water system has been installed & is revolutionary in using the eco-friendly biomass wood chip burner. All bedrooms offer modern, technologically advanced facilities with most providing stunning panoramic views across Loch Ness, the five lock canal staircase or the surrounding mountains. The kitchen serves a hearty Scottish breakfast, light lunches & a host of seasonal local shellfish & game dishes for dinner. Sustaining packed lunches are also available for exploratory days out. The new owners, the Gregorys, developed the famous Loch Torridon hotel & are continually applying their finishing touches to Lovat Arms. This unique Fort Augustus hotel is the Heart & Soul of the Highlands. - Fort Augustus, Inverness-shire
