Modern facilities are skilfully blended with original pitched pine woodwork and high corniced ceilings, Furnishings are in keeping with the character of the house and original paintings grace many of the rooms. In the cooler months log fires in the delightful lounge and cosy bar-bistro provide a warm welcome. The bedrooms are spacious and well-appointed and have magnificent views. We are regularly visited by deer, red squirrels, rabbits and many kinds of birds. We even have a resident stoat but he is harder to spot. Dining at Dalrachney augments the Highland experience and we are recognised for our friendly but efficient service and good food using as far as possible fresh local produce - game, beef, salmon and trout. vegetarian options are always available and individual dietary needs can be catered for. Guests can dine in the traditional Lodge Restaurant or the more informal Stalker's Bar-Bistro. Hotel Rating: Visit Britain 3 star
