Where would you like to wake up?

Every one of these is somewhere we would book ourselves: crofter's houses on the cliffs with the sea in every window, shepherd huts and bothies on working crofts, a lighthouse keeper's cottage on an island of its own, and hotels in old hunting lodges and Victorian houses by the water.

Lochview, a house for four above Loch Dunvegan on Skye, sits just 200 metres above The Three Chimneys, so dinner there is a short walk downhill.

Lochview is a retreat for four on the Isle of Skye, looking across Loch Dunvegan towards the Outer Hebrides. Its nearest neighbour of note is The Three Chimneys, the world-famous restaurant, and the house stands just 200 metres above it. That changes the evening. Instead of a drive home after dinner, you book a table, walk down the hill, and walk back up to a double-sided wood-burning stove and a wood-fired hot tub in the garden. By day, Dunvegan Castle is a 20-minute drive away.

At Coruisk House in Elgol, on the Isle of Skye, the langoustines on the dinner menu are creel-caught in the waters near the village.

Coruisk House is a small restaurant with rooms at the end of the single-track road to Elgol, and its four-course set dinner, served at 7pm, is built on what is caught close by. The langoustines, lobsters and squat lobsters come from creels near Loch Scavaig and Elgol, the mussels are rope-grown in Loch Eishort, and the scallops are hand-dived at Sconser. The menu changes daily, Iain Roden cooks, and Clare Winskill bakes the bread every day. Dinner runs from March to October and is booked ahead, so reserve a table when you book your room.
