Loch Ness, Inverness & Skye

Overlooking the shimmering shores of Loch Linnhe, the welcoming Croit Anna Hotel offers a peaceful Highland base near Fort William. Expect cosy rooms, warm hospitality and sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and loch. After days spent exploring Scotland’s dramatic scenery, return to hearty half-board dining and a relaxed lounge perfect for watching the sunset across the water. Its tranquil setting and friendly atmosphere make it an ideal spot to unwind while soaking up the magic of the Highlands.

After a day of travel, your Scottish holiday kicks off in style. Afterall, no Highland adventure would be complete without visiting the legendary waters of Loch Ness. Scan the depths for a glimpse of the famous monster, stroll the dramatic ruins of nearby castles or simply admire the loch’s vast beauty. Your journey continues to Inverness, the charming Highland capital. Here you can wander along the River Ness, browse independent shops or explore historic streets steeped in clan history. With its lively cafes, riverside walks and welcoming atmosphere, Inverness offers a delightful combo of culture and Highland character.

Day 3 of your holiday invites you to enjoy a slower pace with a relaxing day at leisure beside Loch Linnhe. This sea loch stretches dramatically between mountains and coastline, creating some of the Highlands’ most tranquil scenery. Take a gentle stroll along the water’s edge, watch boats glide across the loch or simply settle in with a coffee and admire the ever-changing views. With Fort William nearby, there’s also the option to browse local shops, discover cosy cafes or capture photographs of the surrounding peaks mirrored in the loch’s glassy waters.

Few places capture Scotland’s wild spirit like the Isle of Skye. Known for its dramatic cliffs, misty mountains and folklore-filled landscapes, the island feels wonderfully untamed. A scenic drive takes you along Loch Lochy, past the Five Sisters of Kintail, to the much-photographed Eilean Donan Castle and finally the Isle of Skye. On an included tour, discover colourful harbour villages in Portree, ancient castles and sweeping coastal viewpoints along the way. Soak up Skye’s rugged scenery, from soaring rock formations to cascading waterfalls, before heading back to your hotel in the evening, ready for your journey home in the morning.
