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.

Along pine-panelled walls hang an atmospheric collection of paintings including an impressive portrayal of the 1745 Jacobite Rising at Glenfinnan.
From the moment of your arrival every effort is made to ensure your wellbeing and enjoyment.

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.
There are quality drapes and fabrics throughout and the dcor and original fittings suggest complete relaxation.
Accordingly, there are no televisions or telephones in the rooms: it really is like staying in a private house.

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.
This can be followed by a delicious pan fried fillet of Seabass served with sauted new potatoes, seasonal greens and a pink Peppercorn & lemon dressing or Breast of Farmhouse chicken with a sundried tomato, roast pepper and chorizo risotto finished with basil oil.
