Emerged from the mists of the past, Kincraig Castle Hotel stands as a testament to generations of the Clan MacKenzie, now refined into a renowned destination offering a true Scottish rustic feel. It's a place where history whispers from the stone walls and modern comforts are seamlessly integrated, making it a captivating escape in the Highlands.

Location

Perched amidst 5 acres of meticulously groomed parkland, Kincraig Castle Hotel offers unrestricted, spectacular views over its gardens towards the Cromarty Firth and the mystical Black Isle beyond, with the castle itself providing a majestic backdrop. Located just a short drive north of Inverness on the A9, it's a central point for exploring the 20 golf courses nearby, as well as the adjacent beaches. The proximity to Inverness, approximately 50 km away, ensures convenient access for travellers.

Style and Character

The exterior of Kincraig Castle Hotel remains largely unchanged since its construction in the early 1800s, preserving an authentic castle ambiance. Inside, a tradition of Highland theme permeates the 15 en suite bedrooms, blending period details with contemporary luxury. The Kincraig Lounge, with its exceptional Adam fireplace, serves as a focal point, offering panoramic views that invite contemplation. The overall atmosphere is one of refined elegance and serene seclusion.
