Hotels in Cannich

Hotel choice directly in Cannich is limited, reflecting the village's small size, but a handful of options in and around the surrounding glens make it easy to base a Highland trip here. The Tomich Hotel, a short drive from Cannich in the neighbouring hamlet of Tomich, is the area's long-standing hotel, with a restaurant and bar serving guests and passing walkers alike. Beyond that, most visitors staying in comfort opt for guest houses, B&Bs and self-catering cottages scattered around Cannich, Tomich and the wider Glen Affric area, many run by locals with detailed knowledge of the best walks and viewpoints nearby.

For a wider choice of hotels with more facilities, Drumnadrochit on the shore of Loch Ness is around 20 minutes' drive away and has a bigger spread of accommodation, from budget guest houses to larger hotels geared towards the Loch Ness tourist trail. Inverness, roughly an hour away by car, offers the fullest range of hotel accommodation in the region, from international chains to boutique townhouse hotels, along with the transport connections to reach it easily by road, rail or air.

Whichever base you choose, staying near Cannich puts Glen Affric, Plodda Falls and Glen Cannich within easy reach, while still allowing a day trip to Loch Ness or into Inverness for a change of pace. Booking ahead is worthwhile in peak summer months and during the autumn colour season, when the area's limited accommodation can fill up quickly.
