Planning the ultimate romantic getaway

A romantic break in Inverness

Inverness has a reputation as a romantic corner of Scotland. Historic, with plenty to see and do, it’s loved by all who end up visiting. This has been helped in recent years with the Outlander book and TV series, with so much of this epic love story cet in the city. So why not join in with a luxury romantic break at the Kingsmills Hotel? With our Romantic Breaks offer, you and your partner can enjoy two nights’ accommodation in a Luxury King Room with wine and chocolates on arrival, breakfast on both mornings and also a romantic dinner.

Mystery and wonder

It’s one of the most popular pieces of folklore in the world. Everyone knows the name ‘Nessie’ and everyone wonders if she’s real. Renowned as the largest lake in Britain by volume, the magnificent Loch Ness never freezes on account of its depth. And due to its unique properties, has been known to steam on especially cold days. Around a 20-minute drive from Inverness, Loch Ness is the perfect place for a walk, or if you’re feeling really adventurous, a cruise. Take a stroll, wander the banks of the idyllic loch and do a bit of monster spotting during your romantic break to the Highlands!

Catch a show

It might be a little obvious, but sometimes the classics are the best. When you’re done wandering and canoodling on the shores of Loch Ness, we recommend catching a show at the ever-popular Eden Court Theatre. A 5-minute drive or half-hour walk from Kingsmills, the theatre is the perfect place to sit back and relax; or share a quick kiss when the lights are down! Showing a variety of different entertainments, from movies to concerts and plays, Eden Court has been lauded as one of best-equipped art centres in the country.

Take a romantic stroll through Inverness

Inverness is lucky in that it has many beautiful and romantic places to take a walk, all within easy reach of the city centre. For example, the stunning grounds of the Inverness Botanic Gardens offer plenty of opportunity to take a hand and enjoy some flowers and trees. Perhaps even sit under one on a sunny day with that special person. Even on a rainy day, step inside the tropical house or cactus house to stay warm. Another lovely walk is along to the Ness Islands. Situated alongside the River Ness, it is a chance to spot some local wildlife whilst enjoying a charming riverside stroll.

A history of romance

Romance has been important to those from the Highlands for many years. One of the most famous examples is that of Flora Macdonald. Whilst her name might not be immediately recognisable, her actions will be. She was the lady who helped her love, Bonnie Prince Charlie, escape ‘over the sea to Skye’ after his defeat at the Battle of Culloden. A statue of Flora exists in Inverness on Castle Hill.

And let’s not forget one of the most romantic poets of all time, Scotland’s Robert Burns. He who penned beauties such as A Red Red Rose, Ae Fond Kiss and Bonnie Jean not only visited Inverness, but enjoyed hospitality here at Kingsmills Hotel. Perhaps a bit of his romantic magic will rub off on you during your stay?

Fall in love all over again

Once you’re ready to wind down, head on back to the Kingsmills for Prosecco and chocolates in your room. Enjoy our relaxing leisure facilities and swimming pool. A romantic dinner awaits in either of our stunning restaurants. Then watch the sun set from your luxury bedroom, get cosy and settle in for the night. Next morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast. In bed of course. Because it’s not a romantic break without breakfast in bed! Find out more about our Romantic Breaks and book your escape to Inverness today!
