Arrival and Festive Theatre Evening

Your Yuletide Retreat begins on 23rd December with a warm Highland welcome. And after settling into your room, enjoy a delicious pre-theatre dinner in Torrish. Then, follow the twinkling lights along the River Ness to Eden Court Theatre, one of Scotland’s leading arts venues. This year’s pantomime is Cinderella, promising an evening of festive laughter and glittering entertainment. And should the winter weather arrive with gusto, a Ness Walk chauffeur will gladly assist with your journey.

Afterwards, return to the calm and comfort of Ness Walk Hotel. Ness Walk Hotel sits just minutes from the city centre, so going from festive excitement to peaceful rest is wonderfully effortless.

Christmas Eve at Ness Walk Hotel

Christmas Eve at Ness Walk Hotel is truly special and unfolds at a gentler pace. Begin with a leisurely Full Highland Breakfast in Torrish Restaurant, followed by mince pies, tea, and coffee. Next, you can explore the stories of the Highlands at the Inverness Castle Experience, one of Scotland’s most impressive new visitor attractions. Indeed, the experience brings Highland history and culture to life through immersive, multi-sensory environments. Furthermore, the rooftop viewpoint offers sweeping views across the city and beyond.

Alternatively, you can simply relax in the hotel and let the festive atmosphere settle around you. Moreover, seasonal refreshments await throughout the day in truly opulent surroundings.

And finally, as evening falls, Torrish Restaurant presents an exceptional festive tasting menu, showcasing the very best of Highland produce with the creative skill that has earned Torrish such a stellar reputation. What’s more, candlelight, period detailing, and views over the River Ness create an atmosphere perfectly suited to Christmas Eve. And to complete the evening, attend a Christingle or late-night carol service at Inverness Cathedral. All of which are fittingly traditional endings to Christmas Eve in the Highlands.

A Luxurious Christmas Day

Christmas morning at Ness Walk Hotel is magical. First, wake at your own pace and enjoy an abundant Full Highland Breakfast in Torrish, then step onto the terrace and sip warming eggnog topped with toasted marshmallows beside the fire pits. All in all, it’s the perfect way to begin Christmas Day.

The centrepiece of the day, however, is a beautifully prepared four-course Christmas lunch in Torrish. The kitchen team sources the finest local ingredients, so every course reflects the richness of the Highland larder. And once you’ve had your fill, the afternoon is entirely yours. And a riverside walk, a quiet hour in the lounge, or relaxing in your room are equally wonderful options.

Finally, as evening falls, a cheeseboard and a bottle of wine arrive to round off Christmas Day in true Ness Walk Hotel style.

Boxing Day Farewell

The final morning of your Yuletide Retreat begins at a leisurely pace. Perhaps enjoy a crisp walk through the Ness Islands before returning to Torrish for a hearty Full Highland Breakfast to fuel your journey home. Of course, there is no rush. Because after all, the Yuletide Retreat leaves you feeling rested, restored, and already looking forward to next year.
