Glengarry Castle Hotel, Invergarry - Highland Country House Comfort

Glengarry Castle Hotel stands as a testament to comfortable country house hospitality, a true gem gracing the tranquil shores of Loch Oich. Positioned strategically between the famed Loch Ness and Loch Lochy, in the very heart of Scotland's majestic Great Glen, this family-run establishment offers an enduring escape for discerning travelers. Small wonder, then, that so many guests return time after time, drawn by the warm embrace of the MacCallum family and the enduring charm of this grand property.

Location

The hotel's setting is nothing short of spectacular, resting on the wooded shores of Loch Oich, a location that feels both secluded and accessible. Its position at the heart of the Great Glen makes it an ideal base for exploring the wider Highlands, with Inverness, the region's gateway, a mere 85 km away. Within the hotel's own 60 acres of tranquil woodland, guests can embark on simple walks along the loch, the river, or through the nearby forest. The romantic ruin of Invergarry Castle lies within these very grounds, a poignant reminder of the area's rich history, while the Bridge of Oich and the Invergarry & Fort Augustus Railway Museum are short drives away. For those seeking broader horizons, the rugged coastline and wilder landscapes of the west are within reach.

Style and Character

This is a traditional 19th-century Scottish country house, a structure of considerable presence that offers a warm welcome. Inside, the atmosphere is one of understated comfort, a far cry from ostentatious luxury. The library and lounge offer spaces where mellow oil paintings reflect the glow of a welcoming log fire, an essential element of any proper Highland retreat. An unusual feature within the house is its Canadian pitch-pine detailing, a touch that adds a unique character to the interior. The property has been lovingly maintained, offering a sense of enduring quality and a connection to its past, a place where guests feel immediately at home.

Service and Facilities

The Glengarry Castle Hotel has cultivated a reputation for genuine Highland hospitality, largely thanks to the dedicated attention of the MacCallum family who run the hotel. The service is characterized by its personal touch, making guests feel like valued members of the household rather than mere visitors. Facilities include a tennis court and rowing boats on the loch, perfect for enjoying the scenic surroundings. For moments of quiet reflection, there are plenty of cozy spots to relax in front of an open fire, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration.

Rooms

The hotel offers mid-range lodgings, with each spacious bedroom designed to provide comfort and character. All guestrooms feature an en suite bathroom, typically with a bath, and some also offer a separate shower. While all rooms are individual in design and shape, the largest bedrooms are distinguished by their generous proportions, the biggest windows, and the most commanding views over Loch Oich. Standard amenities include a flat-screen TV with Freesat channels and free WiFi. Twin bedrooms are furnished with two single beds, each measuring 3 feet wide and 6 feet 3 inches long, ensuring a comfortable night's rest.

Food and Drink

The dining experience at Glengarry Castle Hotel centers on traditional cooking, with a focus on fresh, local produce in season. The hotel offers a rather elegant restaurant where guests can enjoy a light lunch or a set four-course menu. An elegant four-course dinner is served daily in the dining room, providing a satisfying end to the day. While specific restaurant names are not provided, the emphasis is clearly on classic, hearty fare that complements the Highland setting.

Value for Money

Glengarry Castle Hotel presents a compelling value proposition for those seeking an authentic Highland experience without excessive expense. The mid-range pricing, coupled with the generous acreage, stunning lochside setting, and the warm, family-run service, makes it a sensible choice for extended touring holidays in the Highlands. What's included is the essence of Highland hospitality and access to a beautiful natural landscape.

Accessibility

Information regarding specific accessibility features for guests with disabilities is not detailed. However, as a traditional country house, older properties can sometimes present challenges. It is advisable to contact the hotel directly to inquire about specific needs and available facilities.

Family-Friendly

While the hotel offers spacious bedrooms and opportunities for outdoor activities like boating and walking, specific family-oriented amenities or services are not explicitly mentioned. The emphasis appears to be on a more traditional, serene country house experience. Direct inquiry regarding provisions for younger guests would be prudent.

“Invergarry's mansion exudes a unique charm derived from its preservation of character. The restaurant stands out, offering a caliber of dining that rivals top Scottish establishments, an experience matched by attentive service. Its location, while secluded, positions guests for easy access to both outdoor activities and local exploration.”
