Ness Walk Winter Escapes
First things first, you need a calming space where you can take it easy for a few days. With our Winter Slumber offer, you’ll enjoy two nights of 5-star luxury at Ness Walk Hotel in Inverness. Complete with a hearty breakfast each morning, dinner for two from our A La Carte menu on one night and a cheeseboard and bottle of wine on another. Before you dive into the comfiest of beds, you’ll enjoy a complimentary nightcap in the bar…. and have a lie-in with a late checkout until 12!
Get cosy with a good book
Lose yourself in a sea of books at the famous Leakeys Bookshop. This magical store is packed with old classics, rare copies and vintage maps. Every nook and cranny is crammed with fascinating reading material. The perfect place to find a good read to enjoy during your winter stay.
Take a relaxing winter walk
Getting outside in the clean, crisp air is a fantastic winter wellness activity. Spending time outdoors is vital for both physical and mental well-being. A walk to the Ness Islands is easily accessible in the winter. Some may overlook this hidden treasure, but it is well worth taking the time to explore the beautiful Ness islands. Located opposite Bught Park in Inverness, you can access them by bridge. A special spot for trees, plants and wildlife, the islands are home to a range of birds, along with creatures such as otters and bats. This is a great way to feel at one with nature, without travelling far from your city centre base.
Connect with the past
The Clava Cairns is a prehistoric burial ground, known for its quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Wandering amongst the ancient standing stones, you may feel a connection with Scotland’s deep past. During winter, the stones are aligned with the setting of the sun, so visit at dusk for extra ambience.
Enjoy some hearty comfort food
Warm up with hearty Scottish cuisine and warming drinks at our Torrish bar and restaurant. With a cosy fire and stunning views out to the River Ness, Torrish offers an innovative menu, serving up seasonal winter dishes with personality. Savour unique flavours, textures and colours in the welcoming restaurant, or enjoy a warming whisky cocktail in the bar.
So, those are just a few of our favourite relaxing spots in and around Inverness. But simply being out and about in the Scottish Highlands is good for the body and the soul. You can’t beat the fresh air and magnificent scenery that is all around us. So get out there and explore!
