"This is the centuries-old home of the McDonald clan, a former hunting lodge on the Isle of Skye that’s still looked after by the family. Windows overlook the inky sea-loch Na Dal and across to Skye’s craggy mountains. Inside Kinloch Lodge, the beds are voluminous and set beneath 16th-century portraits of former Stuart kings, and there’s cinnamon-buttered oatmeal for breakfast. On that note, the kitchen really is something special, care of chef Jordan Webb who has swapped tasting menus for a more pared-back affair that hones in on local produce. All the bedrooms have widescreen loch views, fires roar throughout, and there’s a spa where long-serving masseuse Anita Myatt oversees a holistic menu of treatments." - Steve King
