The North West Highlands of Scotland, one of Europe’s last great unspoilt wildernesses, is the magnificent location of the Altnaharra Hotel. Our luxury highlands hotel is one of the finest leisure and sporting venues in Scotland and has been for nearly 200 years. Having once been a lodge for 19th Century sportsmen and women, the Altnaharra has developed a rich heritage in these outdoor recreational pursuits. We offer first class fishing on numerous local rivers and lochs, several of which we have exclusive access to, and can also arrange a variety stalking and woodcock holidays and days for shooting parties.
After a long day in the great outdoors, what could be better than coming back to an a la carte dinner at one of the best hotels in the Sutherland area? Follow this up with drinks in our lounge next to a crackling open log fire. We also have a library with free wireless access. Also, for those with some energy left, we have a number of mountain bikes which are free to use for hotel guests.
Altnaharra Restaurant
In our highly acclaimed restaurant, we aim to treat guests to the best dining experience in the northern highlands. Our menus change daily and focus on local produce which is, after all, some of the best in the world. After dinner, guests can retire to the lounge for coffee and to enjoy some of the many Scottish malts from our whisky bar.
Luxury Bedrooms
Each one of our 14 en-suite bedrooms has been uniquely designed and decorated to be in keeping with the traditional highland style of the hotel. This level of comfort, combined with the total silence of the remote location, provides all the ingredients for a great night’s sleep, leaving guests refreshed and ready to tackle all the Highlands has to offer.
Self Catering Cottages & Log Cabin
Aside from the hotel we can also offer self-catering accommodation in two beautifully refurbished cottages, created from what were once the hotel’s historic barns and stables.
Lastly, exclusively for LEJOG cyclists and hill walkers seeking more functional nightly accommodation, we a have a log cabin within the grounds – still beautifully presented and with the hotel resources on the doorstep, but very affordable.
