Welcome!
The original hotel built on this site was a drover's inn, a stop over point for farmers taking their cattle to and from market. It dates back  to 1740 which is 6 years before the battle of Culloden!  Amazingly, part of this original structure is still in place today forming the Moriston Bar and Reception area with granite walls 3-4 feet thick. 
 

It has carved itself in the history of Loch Ness as being the meeting place for Johnstone & Boswell when they charted their journey to the Hebrides and also a favourite haunt for Charlie Chaplin in the 1930’s when actors and actresses of the time wanted a little peace and relaxation in the Highlands. Gavin Maxwell the author of  “Ring of bright water”  also stayed here whilst he finished the book, and then returned a few years later accompanied by Princess Margaret who was presenting him with an award.

 

The Hotel has been under new management since August 2011, and with over thiry years experience in the hospitality industry Ailsa, along with business partner son Lachie and the rest of the family is commited to bringing this beautiful old Hotel back to it's former glory.  Over the next few years there are plans to refurbish and update without spoiling the hundreds of years of tradition and history.
The ideal destination for visitors exploring the Highlands,
a welcome site for tired and hungry walkers travelling the Great Glen Way and a popular coffee stop for regular commuters on the busy A82, the Hotel plays host to a good mix of passers by, tourists and locals alike.
 

The bar and restaurant have a distinctly Scottish feel. The Grant Tartan carpet adorns the rooms, there are antique rifles from Jacobite times displayed on the walls and memorabilia from another era, all adding to the traditional atmosphere.       

The restaurant is cosy and intimate, the service is attentive yet unobtrusive and the menu is good wholesome home cooked Scottish fayre sourced locally wherever possible.
 
We will be delighted to welcome you to Glenmoriston Arms.
If you have any dietary requirements or special requests please do not hesitate to ask.
Hope to see you soon.
