Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Keith, Speyside
A beautifully restored Victorian sporting lodge in the Speyside whisky heartland with only six rooms, a kitchen focused on local game and seafood, and more whisky distilleries within a 20-mile radius than anywhere on Earth.
Brachla, Loch Ness
A small, luxurious lodge hotel directly on the shores of Loch Ness offering ten beautifully furnished rooms, superb Highland cooking, and atmospheric lochside walks — with the possibility of a Nessie sighting from your bedroom window.
Shieldaig, Torridon
A beautifully run small hotel in the remote village of Shieldaig on the shores of Loch Torridon — one of the most dramatically beautiful settings in Scotland. A genuine local institution with excellent seafood landed daily from the village boats.
Inverness
A historic country house hotel on the southern outskirts of Inverness — the Highlands' capital city — Kingsmills delivers 147 well-appointed rooms, a leisure club, and a genuine Scottish warmth that makes it the most popular choice for exploring the Northern Highlands.
Ullapool
A legendarily characterful hotel, café, bookshop, and arts venue in the remote fishing village of Ullapool — gateway to the Outer Hebrides — where creative spirit, good local food, and genuine Highland community warmth make it unlike any other hotel in Scotland.
Dornoch
Andrew Carnegie's extraordinary private castle on the Dornoch Firth is now one of the world's most exclusive private clubs and hotels — a vast baronial estate with 12,000 acres of Highland countryside, its own golf course, falconry, and salmon fishing. Madonna was married here.
