ExceptionalVictorian castle hotel beneath Ben Nevis

Inverlochy Castle

Fort William, Highland, Scotland

Queen Victoria loved it and it still feels like a private castle, with Ben Nevis filling the windows. Best for older children who'll appreciate the drama – steam trains over Glenfinnan, gondolas up Aonach Mòr, waterfalls in Glen Nevis – rather than toddlers needing a playroom.
