“Loch Ness Country House Hotel feels steeped in Highland history, set within six acres of gardens and close to both Loch Ness and Inverness city center. I admire that the hotel sources fresh produce from its own gardens for its AA Rosette award-winning restaurant, and I like the idea of enjoying a glass of whisky by the fire in one of the intimate lounges. I'm particularly intrigued by the diverse afternoon tea options, including a cheese menu - a distinctive touch.”
