About this listing

Crystal House, formerly known as Richmond Hotel, is a small family run gem, set in the Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer and nestled within the magnificent Highland scenery. The inspiration to call the place Crystal House came from the many large veins of clear quartz crystal that run through the granite stone blocks that had been used. Like any gem, it is multifaceted, offering a number of services.

The house retains original features, whilst providing comfortable modern facilities throughout. As a boutique styled establishment, each room is themed with a specific crystal and colour.  All rooms are en-suite with heated towel rails. You can enjoy a hearty cooked breakfast (£10 extra pp), whether you are vegetarian, vegan or eat meat/fish. We can also cater for other dietary requirements.

Strathpeffer is wonderfully located. Whether you are touring the highlands, following the NC500 or prefer a settled location to take days out to the west, North and East coast or south to the Cairngorms or Loch Ness Strathpeffer could be you ideal stay.

Crystal house has a covered overnight parking area for your bike

This superior deluxe room, themed on the colour of the carnelian crystal, is situated on the first floor. You can choose from having either a superking size bed or have a twin bedded configuration. The en-suite contains a bath with a shower over it where guests can enjoy a relaxing soak as well as a refreshing shower. The room  faces south and gains the benefit of sunshine and light most of the day. Why not sit in the walnut chairs enjoying a hot drink and the views that overlook the village and the open countryside and woodlands both across and down the glen
