About the Lovat Arms Hotel
The Lovat Arms Hotel is proud to welcome you to the heart of Fraser Country, a region renowned for its warm Highland hospitality, rich traditions, and breathtaking scenery. Situated in the charming and vibrant village of Beauly, just 12 miles from Inverness, our family-owned hotel combines classic Victorian character with a genuine sense of home.
For generations, the Fraser family has offered guests a memorable stay in the Highlands, whether you’re here to explore the spectacular glens, trace your clan heritage, or simply relax and unwind in a true Highland setting. Our guests enjoy the comfort of traditionally styled rooms, the warmth of a friendly bar full of local stories, and a restaurant that proudly serves fresh, seasonal produce, including ingredients from our very own family farm.
The spirit of community is at the heart of the Lovat Arms. We love to welcome locals dropping in for a catch-up, visitors returning year after year, and travellers discovering the Highlands for the very first time. Many guests arrive as strangers and leave as friends, a true mark of our commitment to making everyone feel at home.
Our unique location makes us the perfect base for exploring Beauly and beyond. Take a stroll through the village square, once designed by Baron Lovat to host bustling cattle fairs, and soak in the peaceful charm that has drawn visitors here for centuries. According to local legend, the village owes its name to Mary Queen of Scots, who is said to have called it a “beau lieu” or beautiful place when she stayed at the historic Beauly Priory.
Whether you’re planning a Highland adventure, a romantic getaway, or simply looking to experience a slower pace of life surrounded by natural beauty and history, the Lovat Arms Hotel is ready to welcome you. We look forward to sharing our warm Highland hospitality with you soon.
