» Description
|
The Roy Bridge Hotel and Grey Corrie Lodge are situated deep in the northwest Highlands of Scotland. In the shadow of the mighty Grey Corries and part of the Nevis Range, it is ideally suited to those who enjoy outdoor pursuits such as Mountaineering, Hill walking, mountain biking, canoeing, game fishing, and Red Deer stalking, or watch the Ospreys fishing on Loch
Lochy.
If those activities sound a bit stressful, you can just enjoy the glorious scenery, take a gentle stroll in the majestic Glen Roy and observe the parallel roads, a geographical, oceanic feature as described by Charles Darwin on his visit to Roy Bridge and more historically, observed by Queen Victoria in 1872 during a change of her horses at this hotel referred to then as The Bridge of Roy Inn.
The building was constructed in 1836 by the chief of Clan Mackintosh to provide weary travellers with quality accommodation, good food, fine wines and ales. Today the Hotel still provides this valuable service. Many of the original features can still be seen including the Clan Mackintosh coat of arms above the main
entrance.
Accommodation in The Roy Bridge Hotel is available to match all tastes and budgets. The Hotel has six full en-suite rooms; all are large and spacious as would be expected in an old Victorian building. Recently refurbished to a good standard, they are well appointed, comfortable and importantly, with a home from home atmosphere.
The top floor of the hotel has recently been converted to a 12-bed hostel, to provide good quality accommodation for the individual or smaller groups. The common room is equipped with full self-catering facilities, and a television. The newly fitted shower facility ensures a warm shower at the end of a good day, participating in your chosen activity. Breakfast and pack lunches can be provided on request.
