Foyers Lodge, Foyers, Inverness-Shire, IV2

Foyers Lodge is an impressive, traditional Highland lodge on the south-west side of Loch Ness with beautiful, framed views of the loch and up the Great Glen. The current owners purchased Foyers Lodge in 2016 and since then have fully renovated the property which, today, is an award-winning, luxury boutique hotel. The current owners operate the lodge as a seasonal lifestyle business however the property is flexible with opportunities for growth, expansion and diversification. Unexplored avenues include weddings, events and exclusive use or indeed the possibility of becoming a luxury family home.

The area benefits from its association with Loch Ness and setting in the Great Glen, however, it is the hidden side of the loch compared with the busier tourist route on the far shore. Although both Inverness and Fort Augustus are just a 1/2 hour drive away, this area remains peaceful and unspoilt; its beautiful, wooded shoreline and dramatic inland landscape providing a haven for many rare species of plants and wildlife, while the road verges are dotted with wildflowers throughout spring and summer. The quiet countryside makes it an ideal area for cycling and walking while the west coast, with its excellent sailing, is within easy reach. In addition, the area offers traditional country sports and Foyers Lodge itself has 8 salmon fishing licences on Loch Ness and fishing rights on Loch Bran and Loch Mhor, along with the right to erect boat houses on specified sites.

The renovation and refurbishment have created an outstanding rural property which still retains the integrity of a traditional, Highland lodge but has introduced exceptional levels of design, comfort and energy efficiency. It is rare to find such luxury in an iconic, world-famous location.

The refurbishment work at Foyers Lodge, which has been carried out in accordance with building regulations, began in 2016 and now complete offers six luxury rooms along with a self-catering suite and owners’ apartment. The work has been extensive and includes partial re-roofing, replacement timbers and timber treatments; the installation of a biomass boiler with RHI, replumbing, excellent levels of insulation, reconfiguration of some of the rooms, a new commercial kitchen, and new bathrooms and shower rooms throughout. Each room has been individually designed using top quality fittings, furnishings and decoration and, where possible, original features retained or restored. The overall effect is to create a sense of luxury, individuality and comfort to complement the stunning loch side setting.

In a short space of time, Foyers Lodge has established itself as an outstanding boutique hotel and has won many awards and accolades, both national and international. Of note is the Michelin Key which was awarded in 2024 and a place on the UK’s Top 50 Boutique Hotels for 2024/25. The hotel has reached a level of excellence and is now at the stage where the opportunity exists for a new owner not only to maintain this but look at expansion via alternative offerings and/or increased capacity.
