About Us

The Strathdearn

The Strathdearn is a newly built, spacious, bright and impressive hall. It currently plays host to a range of community groups and would also be an ideal venue for a variety of events, including weddings, baby showers, conferences, exhibitions, concerts and ceilidhs. 

From the moment you walk through the front door, the building welcomes you into a vibrant space, flooded with natural daylight. Featuring natural materials, including slate and wood, the space is warm and welcoming for any occasion. Outdoor patio areas make for an ideal space in the summer, for reception drinks at a wedding, or a coffee break during a meeting. 

Built with sustainability in mind, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating provide ambient heating for the entire building, and triple-glazed windows and high levels of insulation ensure a cosy feel, even in the midst of the coldest Highland winters. The building is also fitted with state of the art AV equipment, including a sound system, laser projector and induction loop in the main hall.

Where are we?

The Strathdearn is situated on the main street in Tomatin, 25km south of Inverness and 25km north of Aviemore, nestling in spectacular scenery but just a 15-minute drive from shops, restaurants, a cinema and a theatre.

If you’re coming from the Inverness direction, you can find us 200m from the railway bridge, on the left. If you’re approaching from the south, cross over the Findhorn River bridge, drive 300m and find us on the right. 

Eco Credentials

Built to a high environmental specification, The Strathdearn has an air source heat pump and under-floor heating to provide ambient heat for the whole building, solar thermal to provide hot water.

Testimonials

The venue is gorgeous, the views are outstanding and nothing was
too much bother. I had extremely good experiences with all those
involved and the premises.

Karen Sandever

We booked one of the conference rooms at The Strathdearn to host a training day for DYW.

The venue is in a beautiful location with helpful staff who were very friendly and attentive. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the day.

It also offered tasty food, refreshments and a unique working environment.

The curtain walling maximised the daylight and a spectacular view which offered a refreshing scene and a change from a normal working day in an office/work setting. Over-all a very enjoyable experience and we would definitely come again in future.

Developing the Young Workforce

Great venue, friendly staff and good facilities. Would recommend!

George Macleod

It was a pleasure to hold Inverness Chamber of Commerce’s first networking lunch of 2022 at The Strathdearn.

The modern venue is located in a beautiful setting with excellent facilities and enjoys an abundance of natural light thanks to the large windows.

The arrangements for our event were fulfilled exactly as requested and all the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful.


Would highly recommend The Strathdearn to other businesses looking for a ‘different’ venue for a meeting or event.
