Inverlochy Castle Hotel
Ben Nevis castle hotel where the dog stays in the private Gate Lodge
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
Leanachan Forest and the Nevis Range tracks are about two miles up the road at Torlundy, and Glen Nevis with its river pools is a short drive round the other side of Fort William.
Dogs stay in the Gate Lodge and are not in the castle's public rooms, so plan meals around that.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 20, Per dog per night
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
The Gate Lodge is the dog-friendly accommodation, set at the estate entrance rather than in the castle. Dogs stay within the lodge and are not in the castle's restaurants, drawing rooms or other public areas. The 500 acres of estate are open to walk on a lead, with an eye out for wildlife and for cars on the drive.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
