, approximately 3 miles from Kyle of Lochalsh, the main crossing point to the Isle of Skye. Most of our bedroom windows frame views of Loch Alsh and, in our restaurant the picture is larger but much the same. Faced with all this, we developed our own hotelier's philosophy. Broadly speaking it's based on the idea that if our guests are ever to drag themselves away from our windows, we must make it worth their while. All rooms are non-smoking.

Dalrachney Lodge dates from 1845 and was formerly a Sporting Lodge central to one of Scotland's largest Estates. Additions were made through the turn of the century linking the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The main house as seen above is in fact Edwardian and was completed in 1910. Today we are set in 16 acres of peaceful surroundings bordered on two sides by the Dulnain River. No modern extensions or accommodation annexes will be found here - only original buildings. We are situated on the outskirts of the historic village of Carrbridge described by Queen Victoria as 'the jewel of the North'. Many other members of the Royal Family have stayed here as private guests of the Estate owner including King George V who was a great sportsman.
