Hotels in the Scottish Highlands

The Highlands cover such a vast and varied stretch of Scotland that where you base yourself matters as much as what you book. Inverness makes a practical hub, with Rocpool Reserve and Kingsmills Hotel offering comfortable town stays close to the Ness, while Ness Walk sits right by the river. Further out, places like Loch Ness Inn put you within easy reach of the loch itself.

For something more remote, Applecross Inn and The Torridon reward the drive west with dramatic scenery on the doorstep, and Inverlochy Castle Hotel near Fort William suits a grander stay. Aviemore's Cairngorm Hotel and The Ceilidh Place in Ullapool cater well to walkers and climbers heading into the hills, while smaller guesthouses such as Hillview Guesthouse offer a simpler, more personal base for touring the region.
