Sandemans serves a seven-course tasting menu with locally sourced ingredients, while the Brasserie provides loch-side dining with al fresco options on the terrace. Guests can also book private Pod Dining experiences with adjustable mood lighting and a personal host for an inside/outside meal by the water.

Wellness & Spa

The Woodland Spa at Fonab Castle features a 49 ft swimming pool, a spa pool, sauna, steam room, and an outdoor hot tub overlooking the grounds. Guests can book tailored treatments including full-body massages, facial treatments, body wraps, and couples massage in the spa's treatment rooms. Spa packages also include use of the thermal suite, aroma relax room, and spa lounge with complimentary access to the fitness center.

The hotel arranges outdoor pursuits such as shooting, cycling, and fishing on Loch Faskally, with equipment available through the concierge.
