At the end of the road beside Rannoch train station, this is one of Scotland’s most isolated places (no internet, no TV, only fleeting mobile-phone reception), but luckily this beautifully renovated hotel is here to keep your spirits up − a magical getaway. It does excellent dinners (three courses £35, 6.30pm to 8pm), and can prepare a packed lunch.
