Although it has gone through a remarkable transition since its grand beginnings as the Duke of Sutherland's hunting lodge in late Victorian times. The hotel still bears testimony to the golden age of highland touring and sporting activity and has carefully retained all that unmistakable character and personality, and many artefacts of a bygone era.
The essence of this beautiful landscape has been captured superbly in the hotel - the highest of standards of hospitality and comfort having been carefully and meticulously blended with glorious period pieces, wood panelling, wonderfully individual bedrooms and an ambience and atmosphere exuding grace, relaxation, timelessness and tranquility. You can often hear the silence. It is actually quite difficult to conjure up the remarkable feeling of personal well-being this generates but a regular and growing following of guests from all over the world return again and again, to savour the hotel's and the whole area's therapeutic and enriching qualities.
