Get intimate at Loch Ness Lodge

Loch Ness Lodge has scooped the Intimate Wedding Venue of the Year in the prestigious Scottish Hotel of the Year Awards 2009 announced at the weekend. The award is a resounding endorsement for the Lodge’s welcoming atmosphere, attentive and discreet personal service and romantic setting overlooking the world famous loch.

Loch Ness Lodge’s success on the evening did not stop at one award, as the hotel also picked up a Special Commendation Award for Luxury Hotel of the Year and Scottish Hotel Bedroom Design, and Head Chef Ross Fraser was delighted to win a Medallion d’or Award for Dining Excellence.

Scott Sutherland, Partner at Loch Ness Lodge, said: “These awards are testament to the hard work and dedication of a very energetic and enthusiastic team. We are thrilled to have been recognised as Scotland’s Most Intimate Wedding Venue within two years of opening – we’ve created a first class hotel and facilities and have matched the five star environment of Loch Ness with five star service and hospitality.

“We’ve already hosted numerous weddings at the Lodge, and feedback has always been positive, so we look forward to welcoming the many more wedding parties already booked into the Lodge in the coming year”.

Loch Ness Lodge is the perfect exclusive-use venue for small intimate weddings catering for up to 24 family and friends.

The romantic Highland retreat with its traditional charm provides the ultimate five star ‘home from home’ experience for 14 guests in the Lodge’s seven individually styled en-suite bedrooms. Additional accommodation is available at the neighbouring Loch Ness Cottages, five sister properties providing five-star accommodation for a further 10 guests.

Against the stunning backdrop of the legendary loch, and with access to its own private Loch Ness shoreline, family-owned Loch Ness Lodge provides everything for the perfect wedding day from a warm and welcoming drawing room and snug to a stylish and intimate dining room with a choice of the finest fresh local produce, champagnes and fine wines with menus to match.

All Lodge bedrooms are uniquely styled with luxury beds, soft linen, designer toiletries, power shower, flat screen television, CD and DVD player. The pampering and personal treatment continues at Escape, Loch Ness Lodge’s spa and therapy suite providing sauna, hot tub and a full range of treatments to revive and replenish body and mind.

Set in its own landscaped gardens in the midst of one of Scotland’s most iconic locations, Loch Ness Lodge can also offer couples and their guests a host of varied outdoor pursuits for individuals and groups alike, ranging from traditional field sports such as fishing and shooting, golf on nearby championship courses and walking, kayaking and mountain biking in some of the UK’s finest settings.
