We offer overnight accommodation for Inver restaurant guests in luxury, en suite bothies or shepherd’s huts.

The bothies and shepherd’s huts are in the woods either side of the restaurant. With contemporary birch-ply interiors, hand-woven cushions, bespoke quilts and picture windows overlooking the loch and Old Castle Lachlan, they are the perfect place to relax before and after your meal.

Each en suite bothy has a super king-size bed (double or twin); three have baths and the fourth features a spacious wet room and walk-in shower. An air-source heat pump, eco-friendly wood fibre insulation and triple glazing keeps them cool in summer and cosy in the cold months.

The shepherd’s huts have a king-size bed (double only), shower and proper toilet. They each have their own patio for the summer months and are fully insulated and heated to keep them toasty in winter.

All room bookings include a restaurant booking as standard, so there is no need to make a separate enquiry. From Monday to Wednesday the restaurant is open exclusively to serve dinner to our resident guests.  From Thursday to Sunday the restaurant is open to our resident guests and to the public. We serve our tasting menu only in the evening and if you are staying with us at Inver a booking for the evening tasting menu is required.

If you are planning to stay with us for more than one night, while you are still required to eat with us on every evening of your stay, we can offer an alternative menu for your subsequent evenings.

If you are planning to visit as a group, please be aware that we have a maximum party size of six.

Breakfast

Staying over at Inver means enjoying our award-winning food at breakfast, too.

In the morning we’ll bring a picnic basket to your room for you to unpack and enjoy at your leisure. Breakfast includes traditional Scottish breakfast pastries and sourdough bread, our own butter and preserves, sprouted grain cereals and house made yogurt, fresh local eggs, and juices from our gardeners’ fruit and vegetables. Depending on the time of year you may also enjoy Inver cured meats, potted loch crab or trout, or local farmhouse cheeses. And of course, freshly brewed Inver coffee, loose leaf teas or infusions from the garden.

Dietary restrictions

Please check that we can accommodate your particular dietary requirement before booking with us. We try hard, but our small team cannot always accommodate every dietary demand made of us while maintaining the integrity of our food and high standard of service for all our guests, and simultaneously protect our own wellbeing!

At lunch we serve our ‘a la carte’ menu. With notice, our a la carte lunch menu can accommodate most dietary restrictions.

In the evenings we serve the tasting menu. When requested at the time of booking we can create vegetarian & pescatarian versions of our tasting menu. We can usually address medical concerns such as allergies or serious intolerances. We can’t cater for dislikes – instead, we ask you to please come with an open mind and share our love of great produce, craft and skill. 

Again, please clarify the details of any dietary restrictions when booking with us, so we can provide you with the best service that we can. We may not be able to help if alerted on the day of your meal. We thank you for your understanding.
