Dining at The Silly Goose
The Lime Tree Hotel is home to the award-winning Silly Goose restaurant, where meals are prepared in an open kitchen using locally sourced ingredients. The seasonal menu changes with the availability of fresh produce from the Highlands. Guests can watch their food being cooked while enjoying views of Loch Linnhe and the surrounding hills.
Rooms and Self-Catering Apartments
The hotel offers multiple self-catering apartments that accommodate larger families or groups, along with spacious double and twin rooms. Many rooms have views towards Loch Linnhe and Ben Nevis, and some feature four-poster beds. Soundproof windows and USB charging ports are included in recently renovated rooms.
Art Gallery and Historical Charm
The hotel is a former church manse built in 1850, converted into a boutique hotel with an art gallery that hosts noteworthy exhibitions throughout the year. The snug lounge areas display artwork by local artists and provide a quiet place to relax. The building's historical character is preserved through original features and traditional decor.
Location and Nearby Attractions
