Breath-taking views
We are inspired by our beautiful surroundings, deep in the Scottish Highlands. Each of our bedrooms showcase panoramic views of the spectacular landscape, while the verdant countryside is home to a wide variety of wildlife, from Golden Eagle and Osprey to Red Deer Stag and Pine Martin, as well as an abundance of wild flowers, plants and trees.
Discover the rich history of The Duke of Richmond
1815
The Duke of Richmond Hotel stands on the site originally occupied by what is generally accepted to be Guernsey’s oldest hotel - in 'Berry’s History of Guernsey', dated 1815, there is a charming engraving of Grover’s Hotel, and this appears to be on the exact site of the present building.

The power of passion
"The Duke of Richmond Hotel joined the collection in 2011. I was thrilled to join the team as General Manager in 2018, after working with our sister property in Guernsey, The Old Government House Hotel.
There are many aspects of my role that I find rewarding. I was delighted to oversee a project that added two luxury apartments to our hotel. Dating back to 1865, the townhouse apartments have been lovingly restored offering two split-level, two-bedroom apartments with spectacular views.
I love getting out to meet our local producers. We source as many regional ingredients as possible to feature on our menus, sharing our delicious Guernsey produce with our guests - from Herm Oysters to local artisan gin.
We further support local producers by providing immersive experiences for our guests. Hop on a RIB across to Herm to see the oyster beds, wander around the Rocquette Cider orchard, meet the team at le Hechet Farm for ice cream and return to The Duke to sample an organic charcuterie platter from Wallow Farm.
We are also surrounded by stunning cliffs, offering walks for all abilities and beautiful beaches with an impressive sea swimming community for those brave enough to take a dip. Our team takes pride in the Guernsey landscape, taking part in regular beach cleans.
I feel proud to be part of a group that makes every guests’ holiday matter and we have a superb team to make that happen."
