Trains & Boats & Planes

I have been working in the hospitality industry here at Loch Ness for the last 20 years and I can honestly say I never get bored. Everyday here is really interesting - folks like yourselves from all over the world and on the doorstep come to sample good Highland Hospitality and see the magnificent scenery that is the Highlands of Scotland.

I am always interested why they want to come to come to Loch Ness - where they are going afterwards, how they found us and how they get here.
Last week we had a couple who lived in Paris and flew to Inverness on their own private jet. An afternoon at Loch Ness, dinner with us here at the Clansman then flew off to Milan for lunch the next day - oh how the other half live!
Another couple this week arrived in their Bentley on a touring holiday - next stop Gleneagles - nothing but the best. We had two chaps cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End for one of the Cancer Charities and four diners last night walking the Great Glen Way for their local Hospice Charity - one of the gentlemen was a dead ringer for Sir Ranulph Fiennes:- anyway he was conquering his own Everest walking the challenging coast to coast walkway which passes above the hotel. They were returning south on the overnight sleeper train from Inverness.
Two ladies from California wanted to try malt whisky - after 2 drams of a Dalwhinnie 15yr old they were sold - fired up for a Jacobite cruise on the Loch.

So whatever your purpose, whatever your mode of transport you all will be made most welcome at the Loch Ness Clansman Hotel.
We look forward to hearing your stories and we will tell you ours.
