History

With its 19th Century ‘Arts and Crafts’ style architecture, the hotel owes much of its appeal to the work of the highly regarded Victorian architect, James MacLaren, who was commissioned to rebuild an old village inn by Sir Donald Currie, shortly after his purchase of Glenlyon Estate. The Fortingall Hotel is understood to have been completed in 1891 and has been continually functioning as a hotel to this day.

The Ewe pub offers a warm atmosphere and traditional pub menu and is well stocked with local beers and spirits.

A traditional afternoon tea is served in the Drawing Room, along with tea and coffee throughout the day.

First time at your hotel and we were not disappointed. Very pleasant, friendly staff. Pleased with our room which was a good size. Had a cream tea when we arrived - delicious scones! Thought I was going to be disappointed with evening meal as none of the main courses suited. However, your amazing chef came and spoke with me and made me a very tasty, bespoke lemon sole dish. It was brilliant. Well done. Fantastic cooked breakfast served at the table.

The Fortingall was the perfect introduction to the Highlands, elegant but never stuffy, with staff who go above and beyond. The whole house is beautifully appointed, and our room had a soaking tub overlooking the countryside — enchanting. We stayed on a Friday when local musicians played in the pub downstairs, and felt like lucky guests at a locals' party. Refined yet relaxed, this was the perfect first stop. We'd return without hesitation.

The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Erin, Louise, Shay, Courtney were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. I loved the atmosphere of the hotel that felt like being at home. My only complaint is that I have celiac and the food options for breakfast and dinner were limiting. The closest restaurants are 15 min away — I wouid have liked to have seen a variability both for breakfast and dinner.
