The Whispering Pine Lodge is a tranquil Highland retreat set against a backdrop of steep forested mountains on the banks of Loch Lochy. With an enviable location, just a short drive from the town of Fort William, this pet-friendly Lodge is a perfect point for touring the area. Discover the beauty of the Highlands with fantastic views of Loch Lochy and the Great Glen. Ideal for peaceful, romantic weekend breaks in Inverness-shire's scenic countryside or fun activity holidays with friends and family in the Highlands. Located in the "outdoor capital of the UK", the local area offers a superb variety of outdoor activities, such as clay pigeon shooting, fishing, boating, cycling, and canoeing. During the colder months take a gondola ride up to the Nevis Range for a spot of skiing or snowboarding and more brilliant views. Inside the Whispering Pine Lodge, there are twenty-five bedrooms inspired by the surroundings with accents of tartan, plaid, oak floors, and wall paneling, including a luxurious suite. Guests can look forward to relaxing on the hotel's sundeck, taking a walk along the pebbled beach of Lochy Lochy or sitting around a crackling fire while indulging in some finger foods at the Loch View Bar and Grill while soaking up some truly memorable scenery. For unique dining options, stop in at the in-house restaurant, The Lochside Brasserie, which serves Scottish, international and Asian specialties from its vantage point overlooking the loch. Savor some fine Scottish tipples at the bar, a homage to the national poet Robert Burns, or if it’s pampering or a leisurely massage you’re after, stop by the Little Salon and Spa. For those looking for that home away from home experience, there are eight inviting mountain-style self-catering cabins on the hotel grounds.
