Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Autumn Offer valid at weekends?

Our Autumn offer is valid on consecutive nights for stays in October which includes selected weekend and weekday dates. The widest availability will be showing when you book in advance so it is worth checking the calendar for dates.

What time can I check-in?

Check-in is from 3pm on the day of arrival, however, you are welcome to arrive early to settle in to the lounge, where our team will great you with a complimentary glass of champagne.

Is the Autumn offer valid on the Wellingtonia or Rowan Suite?

Our Autumn offer pricing is based on a Laurel King Room – our Wellingtonia or Rowan Suite is available on the offer for £233.75 per guest, per night. You can select your room type when searching availability

What is the difference between a Laurel and a Cedar Room?

Our Cedar Rooms offer a private patio area – the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a sunset dram before dinner. If the weather is fair, fire pits will be lit in the courtyard so you can sit out with a blanket and gaze up at the stars or out to the river. Laurel Rooms are located on an upper floor and offer a slightly smaller floor area.

Do I have to pre-book the dinner and afternoon tea?

What is the weather like at this time of year?

Often some of the nicest days of the year can land in October – a time when leaves are changing, lighting is softer and the weather is cooler. Whenever you choose to visit the Scottish Highlands, it’s always advisable to have layers so you can enjoy the sunshine and wrap up if there is a cold snap.

When does the sun rise/set in October?

Daylight hours remain nice and long in October, with the sun rising around 7am at the beginning of the month and setting around 7pm. The sunrises and sunsets can be particularly beautiful at this time of year, and there is a lovely warm atmosphere in the evenings as candles glow brighter against the backdrop of the twinkling riverside.

Will visitor attractions still be open in Inverness?

Most of the main visitor attractions are open year-round, where seasonal operators will continue to offer great availability into late October. The Inverness Castle Experience and Loch Ness by Jacobite are our favourites at this time of year!

Longing to return to the Scottish Highlands...

Cianalas (pronounced kee-un-ah-las) is a Scottish Gaelic term for a profound, deep-seated sense of homesickness, longing, or nostalgia for one’s home, particularly associated with the Highlands and Islands. It represents a profound, emotional, and sometimes hereditary yearning for the landscape, culture, and roots that shaped a person’s identity.
