| About us We are a small family-run hotel set among dramatic scenery in "Bonnie Prince Charlie" country. Originally a coaching inn called "The Stage House" and dating back to 1658, the hotel exudes a charm and character seldom found in modern buildings and currently has an STB "Three Star" Small Hotel grading. We also have the Green Tourism Scheme "Silver" award for the environmentally friendly way we run the hotel. 
Because of a lack of records very little documentary evidence exists about the building, but we can be fairly sure it was one of the only buildings in Glenfinnan when Bonnie Prince Charlie raised the standard at the start of the 1745 Jacobite rising. |

| The hotel was originally built as a "change house" to provide shelter and a change of horse for travellers on "The Road to the Isles". This road runs between Fort William and Mallaig, where the ferry to Skye can be boarded. At that time the inn would have been very basic with one large room upstairs with straw on the floor for bedding. The hotel gradually expanded, at one time it is recorded as being owned by the "tallest landlord in Scotland", and served to help save the life of Malcolm McAlpine during the construction of the West Highland Railway. |  |

The hotel now has nine rooms, all with coombed ceilings in the traditional Highland style. The decor is fresh and homely, while downstairs the public rooms are light and airy with an emphasis on pine panelling. What has been achieved is a blend of old and new that gives a welcoming and friendly atmosphere which will make even the shortest stay enjoyable. All of our rooms have en-suite facilities, superior rooms are more spacious and most are located to the front of the hotel. Standard rooms, whilst having the same facilities, are smaller and located to the sides and rear of the hotel. A perfect location just for unwinding, or touring the Western Highlands of Scotland. Come inside and experience the Prince's House Hotel for yourself. We promise you will fall in love with the ambience pervading this lovely old building, and once settled here, you will wish you could stay longer. Visit us and you will find friendly service and a relaxed, informal atmosphere - the perfect getaway from the stresses of modern life. So unplug the laptop, switch off the mobile and immerse yourself in the majestic splendour of our West Highland scenery. |
