Glengarry Castle Hotel Review

This rambling Victorian baronial mansion, tucked away in Invergarry, makes a good base for touring the area; the village is just south of Loch Ness and within easy reach of the Great Glen's most popular sights. The alluringly old-fashioned rooms have traditional Victorian decor; some more expensive rooms have superb views over Loch Oich. Try the restaurant for classic Scottish fare with a contemporary twist, such as fillet of Angus beef with whisky and tarragon sauce or oak-smoked salmon parcels filled with chive-scented scrambled eggs. On the grounds are the ruins of Invergarry Castle, a seat of the MacDonnell clan. The hotel entrance is south of the A82-A87 road junction.

    Highland hospitality and great cakes

    A highlight of Glengarry is the wonderful afternoon teas served in style in one of the spacious and comfortable lounges. Another highlight is the choice of splendid lounges to sit in. Glengarry has happily not sacrificed its magnificent residents' lounges to bar space.
