Scotland Hotels ()

Inver Lodge is surrounded by the spectacular, rugged beauty of the Highlands of Scotland. From its elevated position the hotel takes in panoramic sea and loch views and it is an outstanding destination for walkers, anglers and bird-watchers. Red and roe deer graze the hotel grounds, atlantic seals play in the harbour and golden eagles are often spotted overhead. In spring 2010, iconic French chef Albert Roux launched the new Chez Roux Restaurant at Inver Lodge. The menu focusses on traditional French homemade cooking using the finest local, Scottish ingredients. Inver Lodge has a 4 AA Red Star rating, which denotes it as one of the top 200 hotels in the UK.
