Quality B&B & Self Catering in the heart of the Great Glen



The Heathers | Invergloy Halt | Spean Bridge | Inverness-Shire | SCOTLAND


ENQUIRIES

After 35 enjoyable years in hospitality nothing prepared us for the rigours and restrictions of the past 12 months following the outbreak of Covid-19. Hopefully the worst of the pandemic is over and we can return to a more normal lifestyle which will include welcoming guests back to The Heathers. Unfortunately what we enjoyed and took for granted is now not feasible but by following recognised coronovirus guidelines we hope to offer a safe and relaxing stay. For your reassurance we have gained the WE'RE GOOD TO GO certification which recognises that we follow government and industry COVID-19 guidelines.
