The Spotlight on Craiglynne Hotel

Victorian Comfort Just Outside the Buzz of Inverness


Set on a peaceful private estate just a short stroll from the town center, the Craiglynne Hotel offers a charming and traditional Scottish stay. With its classic Victorian décor, roaring open fires, and sun-drenched garden room, this hotel blends old-world character with modern comforts – a cozy base for concert nights and countryside escapes alike.

Why Concert-goers love it


Concert fans love the Craiglynne Hotel for its quiet post-show atmosphere and proximity to Inverness and nearby Highland venues. After a night of live music, wind down by a crackling fire or take in the fresh air of the nearby Cairngorms. Though not in the heart of the city, it’s well-placed for road-trippers or those exploring the Highland gig scene by car. Late check-in from 3:00 PM gives plenty of pre-show flexibility.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a relaxing base before and after a show
  • Solo travelers after a peaceful stay while ticking off a bucket-list gig
  • Couples making a full Highland weekend of music and nature
  • Fans wanting quiet recovery time after a loud, late night
  • Budget-conscious travelers who prefer charm over frills

Food and Drink Options


The hotel’s restaurant serves traditional Scottish dishes, and the bar offers snacks and afternoon tea – ideal for winding down after a concert. While there's no 24/7 room service, the bar and sunroom areas are perfect for relaxed evening bites or a morning-after breakfast with garden views. Breakfast is available, even for those who sleep in a little after a late night.

Nightlife Options


While Craiglynne itself is more of a retreat than a party spot, it’s just a short walk or drive to local Highland pubs and Inverness nightlife. Want to keep the music going? Ask staff about spots with local folk sessions or live tunes nearby. Or bring the night home with a drink by the fire in the hotel’s cozy lounge.

What People Say

  • Guests love the traditional charm and warm staff welcome.
  • Many found the location peaceful and ideal for unwinding.
  • Reviewers highlight the characterful rooms and beautiful garden views.
  • Perfect for those wanting to escape the crowds after a concert.

Areas for Improvement


The Victorian charm comes with a few quirks – some rooms may feel a bit dated, and there’s no elevator, so pack light if you’re on an upper floor. Transport options are limited late at night, so having your own car or arranging a taxi ahead is a smart move.

The Bottom Line


If you’re heading to a concert in the Highlands and want a quiet, character-filled retreat to recharge after the show, Craiglynne Hotel hits the right notes.
