Glenfinnan House Hotel 

Glenfinnan House Hotel stands just around the bay from the tall Bonnie Prince Charlie monument on Loch Shiel, with its lawn rolling down to the beach. The famous Glenfinnan viaduct railway bridge, used as a scene in several Harry Potter films, is a 10-minute walk away through the Glenfinnan Estate where Red Deer can often be seen.

The country house hotel in Scotland is a fine stone 18th century mansion dating from 1755. The original owner was Alexander MacDonald VII of Glenaladale who was wounded at Culloden as a member of the Jacobite army; the house then passed down through the family for many generations.

Today Manja and Duncan Gibson are the resident managers – and extremely hospitable hosts – who will welcome you into the delightful Hall, with its log fire blazing. Along pine-panelled walls hangs an atmospheric collection of paintings all referring to the Jacobite story, including a bold portrait of the Bonnie Prince and a wonderful landscape of Loch Shiel depicting the 1745 Jacobite Rising at Glenfinnan.

Attractive public rooms include a Drawing Room and a cheery Bar where traditional music is often played.

The Scottish Highlands scenery is glorious and it's altogether a perfect venue for breaks, weddings, functions... or even just a quiet retreat. As soon as you arrive at Glenfinnan House every effort is made to ensure your wellbeing.
