With winter now behind us (we hope!), we're making preparations for the season to start in earnest.

Already the surrounds are taking on a new perspective, although there's still a little snow on the higher ground. Oyster Catchers and Curlews have arrived to nest in the surrounding flat-land, and the spring flowers are beginning to give us that longed-for splash of colour. It's a great time to be here in the Highlands.

If you're looking for budget accommodation don't forget our Bunkhouse - sleeps 10 comfortably (2 bunks per room) and at £12.00 per person, per night, with full use of the hotel bar, restaurant and lounge, it's a really great deal. However, booking in advance is required, to avoid disappointment.

Plus, our campsite is open - we welcome tents, caravans or campervans. At £5 per person, per night, plus full use of the Bunkhouse facilities (shower/kitchen) you can afford to stay just that bit longer.

For those of you looking for the special offers, but would rather stay in the hotel, we're offering a 'book two nights, and get a third night FREE' bed and breakfast promotion for September and October, for £98.00 per person. This is based on two sharing a standard double or twin room.

Our usual room rate is £40.00 per person, per night, for a double or twin room, so it's a great saving.

For those wishing to participate in a little fishing whilst you're here - don't forget that the hotel has fishing rights on two local lochs, which have been described as some of the best wild brown trout fishing in the area. (Our chef will even cook your catch, if you so wish). And, for those of you interested in Stalking, this can also be arranged in season. Call us for more details.

If you're passing by at any time don't forget we're open all day, serving morning coffee's, lunches, and afternoon teas - and if you're in the area on the 29 August, 26 September, or 27 November do call in and visit our fairs (on the first two dates there's a car boot, too!).

If you'd prefer to receive our news by email do let us know, and we'll add your details to our mailing list.

A warm welcome awaits you at Ledgowan,

Craig
