Are you a patron of the arts? Could you quite happily spend all day wondering round a gallery? Well, at one hotel in Scotland you can go one step further than that.
Once the home of a clergyman, The Lime Tree hotel is now an art gallery that provides bed and breakfast accommodation.
The 19th century mansion, which overlooks Loch Linnhe on the West Coast of Scotland, is the working studio of landscape artist David Wilson. It contains its own art gallery, which is situated next to the restaurant so visitors can enjoy their breakfast while taking in the exhibitions.
The gallery's aim is to entertain, educate and encourage and has hosted shows from the National Art Collections, giving contemporary artists a platform to show and sell their work.
The Accommodation at The Lime Tree is everything you would expect from a gallery. Each of the nine rooms is uniquely decorated and all are luxurious.
Wilson is a renowned highland landscape artist and the location of The Lime Tree hotel reflects this. The hotel is set in stunning surroundings but, usefully, is also just minutes from the towns’ facilities.
Loch Linnhe is one of the most breathtaking areas in Scotland. The town of Fort William lies to the northeast end of the loch at the mouth of the River Lochy. The Loch is a popular location for landscape photographers, especially in summer when it is aligned with the setting sun.
The Lime Tree hotel is ideal for holidaymakers who want to experience the beauty of Scotland, both indoors and out.
