Inverlochy Castle Hotel

Queen Victoria said she ‘never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot’ than Inverlochy Castle in 1873, and it remains as impressive as ever. With Michel Roux Jr in charge of the kitchen the food is as good as it gets.

Its picture-perfect setting, about three miles from Fort William town, Inverlochy Castle is a Scottish masterpiece of 19th century baronial splendour. From the dovegrey stone walls and romantic turrets, through to the sumptuously furnished rooms. Some of the furniture was gifted by the King of Norway and the decor is impressive and massive because of the wide views of the Highlands and the very high ceilings.

We particulary liked the impeccable attention to detail and the food of course.

If you fancy a spot of clay pigeon shooting or archery, it can be done. Have a stroll around the gardens and admire the tiny loch.

For those with the cash, you can be picked up by the Rolls Royce Phantom or a helicopter landing is also admitted.

We just arrived in our rusty rental car, and it was all fine too.
