Loch Ness Country House Hotel

Elegant Country Retreat Close to the Music of Inverness

Modern comfort meets classic charm at the Loch Ness Country House Hotel, a refined Georgian manor set within six acres of beautifully landscaped gardens just under two miles from Inverness city center. With sleek marble bathrooms, plush robes, and gourmet dining, this is a peaceful base with a touch of luxury, ideal for those heading to a concert but craving a quiet night’s rest afterward.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just a short taxi ride from Inverness’s main music venues, this hotel is far enough from the city buzz to offer a restful atmosphere—but close enough to make gig nights stress-free. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting and free on-site parking, especially after a late show. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there's enough flexibility to wind down and ease into the next day.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a classy weekend escape
• Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list act in Inverness
• Couples planning a romantic concert weekend with a countryside twist
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space far from city noise
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value in a more refined setting

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s AA Rosette-awarded restaurant is a highlight, offering locally sourced Scottish dishes and an extensive wine and whisky selection. While there's no mention of late-night dining or 24/7 room service, the quality of meals and the serene dining room setting make dinner before or after a show something special. Breakfast is available—ideal for sleeping in a little after a big night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about tranquility than partying, Inverness’s pubs and live music bars are just a few minutes away by taxi. Perfect for concert-goers who want to enjoy the city’s nightlife but retreat somewhere calm after the final encore.

What People Say

Guests rave about the elegant rooms, exceptional food, and peaceful surroundings. Many reviewers highlight the friendly staff and the little luxury touches like Penhaligon toiletries, plush slippers, and robes. The gardens and wildlife add a unique charm that city hotels just can’t match.

Areas for Improvement

This hotel is more of a countryside escape than a late-night hub—so if you're planning on staying out into the early hours, you might need to arrange your own transport. Some guests note that mobile signal and WiFi can be spotty in certain areas of the property, but most find it adds to the unplugged, relaxing atmosphere.

The Bottom Line

For music fans who want a refined, restful base after a night out in Inverness, the Loch Ness Country House Hotel delivers comfort, calm, and a classic Scottish welcome.
