Be part of the Family

We're a family business through and through - family owned since 1868, family run and with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small, but all offer fantastic food and drink, cozy beds and a wealth of things to do.



We offer an expansive range of benefits to help you make the most of life outside of work, and we're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels heard and valued.



We treat our guests like family, and we support our people the same way. If you're someone who lives our values of Be Creative, Be Curious, Be Thoughtful, Be Positive and Be You, you'll fit right in.

The Kingshouse Hotel

The Kingshouse Hotel is part landmark hotel, part adventurers' bunkhouse, slap-bang in Glencoe and on Scotland's world-famous West Highland Way. We have 57 bedrooms offering a tranquil night's sleep, as well as the Bunkhouse, offering shared rooms. Everyone is welcome and everyone is made to feel at home in our truly special Hotel.



Our Estate-to-Plate ethos runs through our menus across our restaurant and two bars. Inspired by our unique location and Scotland's abundant land and sea larder, we use the best of ingredients to guarantee our guests an exceptional experience, brimming with Scottish hospitality and flavor, while they experience a customer service which lives up to these standards too.
