Formerly a sporting lodge used by members of the Royal Family, this country house hotel and restaurant is ideally situated in the heart of the picturesque Scottish Highlands.
Dalrachney Lodge Hotel and Restaurant offers 4-star facilities and services in a magnificent setting, centrally located for a memorable stay amongst typical Scottish countryside. Dating from 1845, the lodge is today set in 16 acres of peaceful surroundings, bordered on 2 sides by the River Dulnain. No modern extensions or accommodation annexes will be found here - only the original buildings.
The hotel is situated on the outskirts of the historic village of Carrbridge, close to the train station and easily accessible from the A9 that leads to the city of Inverness. Queen Victoria once described the village as ‘the jewel of the North’ and when you come to stay at the hotel you will soon realise why.
