On the shores of Loch Shiel, the 18th century Glenfinnan House Hotel has been given a new lease of life under the care of Inverlochy Castle Management International, and re-opened in time for the summer season.

A major refurbishment has seen the hotel’s fourteen bedrooms ‘transformed and modernised’, while a new concept bar and restaurant has opened to the public, bolstering the venue’s offering.

In addition, a new rural space with a barbeque area has been created, to present the very best of Scottish produce to guests, alongside breathtaking views.

Inverlochy Castle Management International has been working in partnership with the MacFarlane family, who own the Glenfinnan, with a vision to revitalise the historic hotel while retaining its rich heritage and charm.

Jane MacFarlane said: “We are absolutely delighted to begin re-welcoming guests from around the world to our newly refurbished establishment. It is an exciting moment in our history that comes at a time where tourist numbers in the Scottish Highlands continue to soar.

“Renowned both locally and internationally for its rich history and breathtaking views, day-trippers as well as hotel guests are welcome to explore our newly refurbished Glenfinnan House Hotel and rural space.”

Managing director at ICMI, Norbert Lieder, said: “It is fantastic to see Glenfinnan House Hotel open again to guests following the completion of the extensive refurbishment. I know tourists and hotel guests alike will be impressed by the product of a year’s dedicated renovation work and sympathetic interior design.

“As ICMI enters the next chapter of Glenfinnan House Hotel’s history, we are looking forward to continuing exceeding guest expectations with our high standards and excellent customer service.”
