If you prefer the lap of luxury to the sound of rain beating on your tent, head for this lavish Victorian shooting lodge with a romantic lochside location. Sumptuous contemporary rooms with awe-inspiring views, top bathrooms and a cheery Highland cow atop the counterpane couldn't be more inviting. This is one of Scotland's top country hotels, always luxurious but never pretentious.
Master suites are lavish in size and comfort, with bay windows making the most of the panoramas. Service is excellent, with muddy boots positively welcomed, and dinners are splendid affairs, also open to nonguests (£60). Friendly staff can organise any number of activities on land or water.
