Improve Your Wellbeing

As the colder weather looms, it can be easy to draw the curtains and stay indoors with a cosy jumper on. We’re ‘lucky’ enough that in Scotland it rains an average of 250 days per year! But even when it’s wet, there’s so much to get out and enjoy, that staying indoors just isn’t really an option. In fact, you’ll probably find that the colder seasons is when much of Scotland’s outdoors thrives. Time for some water wellness!

From moody fogs smothering snow-capped mountains, to frost-covered glens trailed in animal footprints. Not to mention the chill of the fresh air making your cheeks glow; winter in Scotland can be truly magical! Our luxury 5-star hotel is situated on the banks of River Ness, with its calming waters just a stone’s throw away. The wellness elements of water have become much more appreciated in recent years, and that doesn’t just go for exercise.

Water can be used in a variety of ways to improve our overall mental well-being, as well as our physical health. Here at Ness Walk, there is an abundance of ways to explore and enjoy the water with us. From fishing in the River Ness salmon pools, to enjoying Scottish seafood in our Torrish Restaurant.
