Steadings Hotel

The hotel is situated in Upper Strathnairn, on the B851. Inverness is only around 15-20 min away and Loch Ness is 13 km from the hotel. This historical hotel was built in the year 1860, however the tradition of hospitality, offering lodging to travellers passing through the Strathnairn Valley dates back much further. History reports that the Macgillivray clan gathered here before joining the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The charming family-friendly hotel features a garden and comprises a total of 9 rooms as well as a lobby. A comfortable lounge to the back of the premises offers guests a wonderful, panorama view over the valley and the hills of Strathnairn, from here guests may also observe a large number of wild animals. The cosy lounge bar, with its sloping beamed ceiling and stone walls is full of old world charm. The excellently fitted rooms on the ground floor or first floor have been decorated to complement the surroundings, the image and the style of the property. Facilities provided include an en suite bathroom, a TV and tea and coffee making facilities. The restaurant serves Scottish and international cuisine, prepared using the best Scottish and local highland produce. A second restaurant, The Clach an Airm is ideal for small parties, get-togethers or dinners for up to 10 persons. Guests may also book bed and breakfast. Coming from the north take the A9 south from Inverness. After approximately 8 km follow the sign for Fort Augustus, B851. Guests coming from the South take the A9 and turn left onto the B851 at the junction for Fort Augustus, around 8 km south of Inverness. From both directions continue on this road for around 12 km, until the hotel can be seen on the right-hand side.
