"The Black Isle is no island but a peninsula in the Scottish highlands, not far from Inverness; Newhall Mains, built from a 19th-century stone farm complex, is a stylish country hotel that marries historical charm and contemporary luxury. Four rooms and five cottages are the extent of the accommodations, which means the place never feels crowded. A fine restaurant serves seasonal modern Scottish fare that highlights the local meats and seafood; the bar ventures further afield with a special focus on Japanese whisky. A grass airstrip makes Newhall Mains a particular favorite among private pilots." - Tablet Hotels
