A historic Scots hotel has reopened following a major refurbishment. 

Glenfinnan House Hotel has reopened in time for the summer season in the heart of the Highlands. 

The hotel’s fourteen bedrooms have been transformed and modernised, while a new concept bar and restaurant have opened to the public, bolstering the venue offering and breathing new life into the 18th century building.

In addition, a new rural space with a barbeque area has launched on the shores of Loch Shiel.
