A rolling lawn meets the shore of Loch Shiel where Glenfinnan House Hotel stands in its unique position across the bay from the National Trust for Scotland monument to Prince Charles Edward Stuart a.k.a. Beyond the monument Ben Nevis is visible, the UK's highest mountain, while a 10-minute walk away through the red deer dotted Glenfinnan Estate, is the famous Glenfinnan viaduct railway bridge which was used in scenes from various Harry Potter films.This Scottish country house is a fine stone mansion dating from 1755.

Manja and Duncan don't expect guests to require a key: the atmosphere is akin to staying in a friend's Highland home. The charming bedrooms, many with a stunning loch view, some with a garden view, are furnished with solid, mahogany and oak furniture. We have installed spa baths in the garden view rooms so that those without a loch view have an extra special treat.
Our a la carte menu offers a wide choice, perhaps start with a large portion of Inverawe smoked Salmon with capers and red onion: the smoky flavour is strong and peaty and offset by the delicate texture of the fish. Alternatively, what about a crispy baked Goats cheese parcel with red onion & balsamic chutney served with a roast vine tomato salad or Salt & Pepper Squid served with our homemade chilli dip.
By car from Glasgow, we are reached after a beautiful scenic drive along Loch Lomond and through Glencoe approx. 2.5 hours. Pass through Fort William and turn off the A82 to follow the A830 'Road to the Isles', west for 15 miles to Glenfinnan. Turn left just after the Glenfinnan Monument Visitor Centre.
It is impossible to be short of walks and activities in Glenfinnan and the surrounding area. There are also three golf courses nearby in Traigh, Fort William & Ballachulish. Loch Shiel Cruises are just on our doorstep and you can enjoy the eagle-watch from 1 hour up to an all-day cruise. There are regular sightings of golden eagles, black throated divers and red deer.
