Remote Places to Stay in Scotland

Some places are worth every mile of single track road, because when you get there, there's nobody else for miles. From cottages on peninsulas to houses at the head of a glen, these are our most remote places to stay.

Inside Stonechat Bothy.

Stonechat Bothy is a hideaway for two on a wildlife croft at Drumfearn, on Skye's Sleat peninsula, and from its windows there isn't a road, a house or a streetlight in sight. Floor-to-ceiling glass looks out over pine and birch, heather and moor to the mountains beyond. Inside it's warm and homely, with underfloor heating, a log burner fed with firewood grown on the croft, local art on the walls, a deep bath and a king-size bed made up in Egyptian cotton.

Places to Stay Deep in the Countryside

There's nothing quite like waking up with fields, hills or forest on every side and not another house in sight. From farmhouses and steadings to cottages at the end of a track, these are our favourite places to stay deep in the Scottish countryside.

Inside The Dunvegan.

The Dunvegan is a restaurant with rooms on Main Street in Dunvegan, on the Isle of Skye, set in three acres on the shore of Loch Dunvegan. The cooking is done over fire, inspired by the Argentine asado, on an asado grill and in a wood-fired oven. The salads, herbs, vegetables and edible flowers come from the owners' own croft. Upstairs there are six en-suite bedrooms, looking out over Loch Dunvegan and MacLeod's Tables or up to the hillside.
