Inchnadamph Hotel, Assynt 1973

Tucked beneath the brooding mountains of Assynt and beside the tranquil waters of Loch Assynt lies the Inchnadamph Hotel—a former 19th-century coaching inn that has welcomed generations of travellers exploring one of Scotland’s wildest and most captivating landscapes. Known affectionately as “The Meeting Place of the Deer,” this remote Highland hotel offers a warm, rustic base for those seeking to immerse themselves in the dramatic scenery of northwest Sutherland.

Located along the renowned North Coast 500 route, the Inchnadamph Hotel sits at the heart of an area prized for its natural grandeur, geological significance, and deep sense of isolation. The surrounding region is defined by the towering peaks of Ben More Assynt, Conival, Suilven, and Quinag—mountains that have long drawn hikers and mountaineers. Just a short distance away are the famed Bone Caves, where archaeologists discovered remains dating back thousands of years, including those of reindeer, lynx, and early humans.
