A Victorian Sporting Lodge set in a truly unique elevated setting overlooking the Upper Garry. Tomdoun was built in 1895 on the site of a much older Coaching Inn. The current owners are continuing in the Lodge's tradition of providing a house party atmosphere with the finest of Scottish cuisine. The Lodge's chef serves a menu second to none, offering fresh fish from the islands and Tomdoun's own venison and trout in the comfortable atmosphere of the dining room with magnificent views across to the river. The ten bedrooms over very comfortable facilities, five of which look out over the fantastic views of the river and mountains to the south. The Lodge has been well known to sportsmen and women for many years, for the abundance of Trout and Pike fishing, stalking and shooting. To cater for the sportsman there is a drying room and secure storage. Tomdoun is surrounded by its own grounds of over seventy-two acres where it is not unusual to see Deer and Pine Martens. |

| Walking A veritable Mecca for the walking enthusiast of every level. Within 20 minutes of the lodge there are 25 Munroes (peaks over 3,000 ft) plus innumerable Corbetts (peaks over 2,500 ft). Also, as would be expected in this area of outstanding natural beauty, there are many other more gentle walks along some beautiful rivers and lochs.  Sightseeing Where do you begin? The first sea loch is only 15 miles away at Kinloch Hourn and access to the islands of Skye, Eigg and Rhum could not be easier. Loch Ness, the largest body of water in Great Britain, Fort Augustus, the centre spot of the Great Glen, Urquhart Castle and the Caledonian Canal are all close by. The famous Eilean Donan Castle just off the A87 is approximately 30 miles to the southwest on the road to Skye.  Mountain Biking Being a popular area many people come to Tomdoun having ridden from other hotels. With fun for all the family you can enjoy access to the local scenery on the Lodge's own mountain bikes. The Lodge can also arrange various tours of the area that will be suitable for all. |
| Pony Trekking This popular pastime can be arranged through the lodge with one of Britain's foremost pony trekking organisers. A trek of up to 10 days is available which is currently Britain's longest trail ride. Obviously, something a lot easier and shorter is also on offer. Local Wildlife From the Highland Red Deer to the awe inspiring Golden Eagle, along with Pine Martens, Otter, Black Throated Divers, Common Scoter and an incredible array of fauna, all can be seen close to the Lodge.

| Fishing If you are looking for some of the largest wild Brown Trout in Scotland, then Tomdoun is the place. Ferrox have grown large in Garry and neighbouring Loch Quoich further up the glen. A previous British record brown trout, weighing 18lbs 2oz, was taken here. Pike fishing is also in abundance with two anglers taking 180lbs of Pike in one day! Boats with outboards are available to lodge guests and salmon are occasionally taken from the river and by anglers spinning for Ferrox on the lochs, but it is the wild Brown Trout that reign supreme. Stocked fish on the small loch directly behind the Lodge offers fly-fishing for the beginner.  |
