The Inn at Whitewell

Culdearn House
Grantown-On-Spey, Highland

Ballyvolane House
Fermoy, Co. Cork
There is a house-party ambience at Justin and Jenny Green’s Georgian country house, filled with treasures passed down through generations, where produce from the kitchen garden and estate feature on the set dinner menu, and everything from bread and preserves to gin infusions is made in house.
Currarevagh House
Oughterard, Co. Galway
A long, winding drive leads to Henry and Lucy Hodgson's country house on an estate on Lough Corrib, with its lakeside sauna, old-fashioned interiors, warm hospitality, and great home-cooked food.
Fishermen and women can combine a luxury hotel stay with top angling at one of our top ten fishing hotels. They have been independently reviewed and chosen based on their facilities, ambience and attention to detail. Cast your rod at Hotel Endsleigh near Tavistock on the banks of the river Tamar. The 19th-century fishing lodge has been restored and has eight miles of fishing and a ghillie to show you the ropes. Try Forss House, Thurso, for salmon or trout fishing - and in 1954 a fish weighing 42lbs was caught at the bottom of the garden! Tasty packed lunches for fishing trips are available and the hotel has a room for hanging rods, gutting and freezing fish or drying out wet gear. Currarevagh House in co Galway is set in 180 acres of private parkland and woodland bordering on Lough Corrib. Fish on the lough for wild brown trout - with ghillies available if needed.
