Lovat Hotel, Loch Ness

历史

The Lovat, Loch Ness was built as a station hotel in 1860's. The first recorded date of the Lovat being a hotel was thought to have been in 1869, known simply as "The Inn" and run by one Murdoch Bayne. It was changed, however when the railway was built through Fort Augustus to Spean Bridge, to "The Lovat Arms & Station Hotel." The railway line opened on 22 July 1903, closed temporarily on 31 October 1911, reopened on 1 August 1913 and finally closed to passengers on 1 December 1933 and completely on 31 December 1946. The Lovat was sold to the North British Railway in about 1911 and would have been transferred to the London & North Eastern Railway in the grouping of 1923. When the railway closed down, the hotel became "The Lovat Arms Hotel". It is the Gregory family that are now building on the hotel’s history, rebranding & marketing the hotel, simply as ‘The Lovat’.

David and Geraldine, of The Torridon, acquired the property in June 2005, with their daughter Caroline, to give David a hobby during his retirement! Their valuable hotel knowledge & experience coupled with Caroline's vibrant entrepreneurial energy, has allowed them all to start propelling the hotel forward to become a leading hotel in the Highlands.
