Good country hotel reccomendations
Discussion
Hi Guys,
Can anyone reccommend me a few good quality hotels for a weekend break in nice scenery in Scotland. Not the big chain types but the ones that are generally privatly owned (old House type)that are good quality but not cameron house, gleneagles type prices.
I have some friends coming over in the autumn from South Africa and it would be nice to go away and really show them scenery, food,accomadation and generally good scottish hospitality.
Preferably well out of the main city's and of the beaten track West coast and Highlands would be ideal.

Worth the money and then some!! cheers

Ah, just back from Dalmunzie house hotel up near Glenshee. Been there for several years now especially at Hogmanay, but this year the food was fantastic, new chef will make sure they are once again in the awards this year. A 9 hole golf course, some trout fishing, wonderful walks, friendly staff and the best service, difficult to beat!

Although it does not have a pool and a spa etc the service and food quality is exceptional.

http://www.westhighlandhotel.co.uk/ Don't knowhow the prices compare ,know it's decent ,family owned (The hotel has been run by the same family for many years) - can vouch for that -
This place is nice and remote : http://www.eriska-hotel.co.uk/
Also has the attraction of inviting a family of Badgers into the Bar every night for their Dinner.

Try this - hopefully it will help.
Another vote for the Torridon from me, and Bunchrew in Inverness is very nice.
And if you need to hire a car, look no further.....
