News from the Glen
An important message regarding COVID-19
We will welcome guests once again as soon as the current lock down restrictions in the UK are eased. This does not seem likely before the end of March 2021. Please check this page for further announcements.
We are still taking on-line and phone reservations for bed & breakfast stays and holiday rentals from April.
You can rest assured that we are taking all necessary precautions against Covid-19. Our “We’re Good to Go” accreditation from Visit Britain recognises that we have put in place government and industry guidelines regarding social distancing as well as stringent cleaning and sanitisation procedures.
Spean Lodge is a very spacious house; however, we accommodate a maximum of just seven bed and breakfast guests. Social distancing is therefore not an issue, especially in our large breakfast room and guests’ lounge.
Please contact us if you have any questions about reserving accommodation at Spean Lodge. Please also note that guests will be not be charged for cancellations that are a result of further nationwide or localised lock downs.
Best wishes, Glen and Suzanne.
Researching your ancestry
We can give our staying guests lots of information on the research resources available in the Highlands. Glen is a history graduate with museum and archive experience. He can help you begin exploring your family history or provide advice on how you can continue your detective work.
Wireless internet connection
The Lodge has free wi-fi access everywhere.
Cyclists and motorbikers welcome
We have a lockable store for road or mountain bikes and private off street parking for motorbikes. There’s also a drying room for wet gear. We are always very pleased to welcome Land’s End to John O’Groats riders as many long distance cyclists have stayed with us over the years.
Make tracks to historic High Bridge
A public footpath now links Spean Bridge to the historic remains of General Wade’s High Bridge. This two mile easy walk meanders through oak and birch woodland and then continues high above the River Spean as it spills through an impressive gorge by the romantic ruins of the bridge. It was at High Bridge that the first shots were fired in the Jacobite Uprising in 1745. You will also have the chance to admire the spectacular mountain panorama from the Commando Memorial.
