AA Awards for Loch Ness Lodge


The elegant five-star Highland retreat, designed by Joanne , has been named one of the UK’s top places to stay at the glittering AA Hospitality Awards ceremony in London this week.

Loch Ness Lodge, on the A82 between Inverness and Drumnadrochit, received the highly coveted AA Inspector’s Choice award, a yearly award which is only handed out to a few of the best hotels, restaurants and guest houses in the UK.

This adds to the growing list of other awards won by the luxurious boutique hotel this year -
2009/2010 Scottish Hotel of the Year Awards: ‘Scottish Intimate Wedding Venue of the Year’ Award and special commendations for the ‘Luxury Hotel of the Year’ and ‘Hotel Bedroom Design’. Also the AA Guest Accommodation of the Year Scotland 2009/2010.

Joanne said “ I am delighted and honoured that our interior has won these awards. My aim was to bring to the lodge a feeling of a warm modern Scottish welcome with a hint of drama. To do this I used colours inspired by the surrounding beautiful countryside, such as berry and lichens and introduced touches of traditionally inspired Scottish textiles – contemporary tweeds and plaids. These I married with rich taffetas, chenilles and silks to lend a modern edge. Warm sophistication in the heart of the Highlands“
