Craft Fair photographs.....have a look!

A great day was had by all on 23 August at the second craft fair of the year, at the hotel.

Not only did the sun shine, but the visitors flowed and the exhibitors kept pretty busy all day.

Do have a look at the slideshow and you'll see some wonderful crafts - all produced here in the Highlands.

If you're in the area on 6 December do call in and have a look round - we feel sure you'll pick up some lovely Christmas gifts - even if you're not in the mood for shopping do come along and have a cuppa, or afternoon tea - log fires, mega Christmas tree and Christmas decorations will be in situ - come and soak up the atmosphere of a bygone era when the hotel was a Victorian hunting lodge.....

You'll be given a warm welcome!

Looking for a bunk house or campsite?

Don't forget our inexpensive bunkhouse and campsite.....

The bunkhouse has six rooms each sleeping two people - a bunk bed in each.

What more could you ask? A bunkhouse and campsite alongside a fantastic hotel, with a warm welcoming bar serving a good choice of freshly prepared bar meals.


On hand, for those wet days - yes, we do have them up here! - is the hotel's excellent drying room.

Prices per person, per night, room only £12.00
And, if you would like to have sole use of the room £24.00

If you require linen there's a one-off charge of £5.00 per person.

Campervans and Tents
Price £5.00 per person, per night, with use of the bunkhouse facilities.

Photo's from the Ledgowan Craft Fair

Saturday 12 July saw the first of this year's craft fairs here at the hotel.

The day was busy for the craftspeople exhibiting their wares - and we even had a number of guests booking specially for the weekend so they could incorporate the fair into their break.

Next fairs will take place on the 23 August and 6 December (come and do your Christmas present shopping!) - call us soon if you are thinking of booking a break for these weekends, we'd hate to disappoint you.

Have a look at the following photographs, and if you'd like to find out more about the people exhibiting at the fairs, past and present go to:

Romantic weekend, wildlife expedition, golf......?

For those of you interested in wildlife how would you like a weekend which included an evening talk from a local wildlife expert, or why not book a romantic weekend for that someone special and include a beauty session with your booking, or a trip to the theatre (in Inverness) - do you have a theme for your visit in mind? For the Golfers amongst you there's three great courses in the area...ladies whilst your partner is on the golf course why not get us to organise a manicure and massage for you...? Call/Email us and discuss what you have in mind - we feel sure we can organise a package tailored to your requirements.

Up here on business? Need a venue for a meeting? Large or small business meetings catered for - we now have a wireless hotspot facility so you can keep up-to-date with your emails at the same time...business breakfast meetings can also be arranged. Call us!

Those of you who have already visited us will know that Ledgowan is not a purpose-built modern hotel - yes, we have all mod/cons, but the building retains most of it's character which the original Laird and his lady enjoyed in their own time...... you can enjoy it too!
