Experience a luxury break at The Lovat, with panoramic views over stunning Loch Ness.

Perched close to the legendary waters of Loch Ness in Fort Augustus, The Lovat is an independent, family-run Highland retreat where guests can reconnect with what truly matters: yourself and the great outdoors. Rooted in sustainability and nestled amongst some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery, it’s a place to truly relax and completely unwind. 

Countryside has joined forces with The Lovat to offer one lucky person the chance to win a two-night break, worth £800.

Your prize includes:
A two-night stay in a Loft Bedroom with a view, where pared-back design and natural textures frame a sweeping panoramic view across Loch Ness, the Caledonian Canal and the surrounding glen. When darkness falls – the clear, ink-black sky offers perfect stargazing — or simply the ideal backdrop for a fireside dram.

The winner and their guest will also enjoy a tasting dinner for two at the Station Road Restaurant, The Lovat’s acclaimed 3-rosette dining experience.  Shaped by Highland heritage, each dish celebrates Scotland’s natural larder and tells its own story – guaranteeing a truly memorable evening.

Between meals, explore walking trails and cycling routes, brave a wild swim or try paddle boarding on the loch, or simply savour the loch-side views before returning to the warmth of this remarkable hideaway.
