    Looking for a hotel up in the highlands we've been looking mainly around Inverness and down towards Loch Ness does anyone have any suggestions? The wife is quite picky so it needs to look nice. Anything up to £200/night. Doesn't have to be in a town or have a spa or anything like that although would be nice if there were a bar nearby!

    Thanks!

    To be honest, you would be hard pressed to find a hotel in the highlands charging as much as £200 a night!

    I didn't actually stay in the Duke of Gordon, I only had a drink in the bar, but it struck me as a lot plushier than the place I stayed in - which was fine but a bit cramped.

    In Fort William I stayed in this place - cosy family hotel, good food:

    Yeh not many charging that price in January but still finding nice places just to find they are £400/night you would think the demand for £400 a room nights wouldn't have much demand a week or two after hogmanay but I guess there must be some!

    Came across the moorings but the rooms were too contemporary or something. Duke of Gordon will hopefully do the job!

    I guess these places have to keep the prices up some they don't get riff raff like me in during the winter months! When we used to live outside of Europe when we did take holidays back it would normally last 1 or 2 months so I guess there are people coming from America or Asia doing that sort of thing.

    As an aside you get some cracking deals on cottages for short term stays around Scotland. We're planning on doing a driving tour in the summer over the course of a two weekend with a week off work in between.

    Yeh there's a ton of nice ones all the ones we liked were booked up though! Will definitely book one if we have more time in future.
