Location
Nestled in acres of picturesque pastureland in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands.
Cromarty House Scotland
Live the high life in the Highlands
If your picture of a Scottish hunting lodge includes ivy-clad stone walls, leather Chesterfields and a cosy piano bar, then Cromarty House will live up to, and beyond, your expectations. Throw in an outdoor hot tub, mirror TV and integrated music system, and ensuite bedrooms with Porcelanosa tiles and rainfall showers, and you have all the ingredients for your perfect Highland gathering.
In the drawing room, enjoy drinks and chatter in the glow of the wood burner, with a view of the Cromdale Mountains through gallery windows. When you need a moment to restore your equilibrium, sneak away to the snug, or the library, where rich reds and deep blues add a sumptuous air.
A brand-new contemporary kitchen has all you need to make amazing meals, eaten in the light-filled conservatory dining room. There's even a separate commercial kitchen available if you are using outside caterers (additional cost). Then retire to the piano bar; put your best musician on the grand piano and settle in with a single malt.
On warm days, spread out on the patios and enjoy views of the Cairngorms National Park. There’s a barbecue here and a fire pit for chillier evenings. As the stars come out, top up your champagne and slide into the hot tub. Later, the eleven Scottish themed bedrooms, all boasting luxury ensuites, promise deep, restful slumber.
At Cromarty House, Scotland’s mountains, forests and lochs are yours to explore, from the Cairngorms, to Loch Morlich, to the Braes of Abernethy. Go hiking in the summer and spot red squirrels or go skiing in the winter when the mountains are covered in snow. With all this on your doorstep Cromarty House is a wonderful Highland getaway.
