Scourie Hotel Shortlist*
Scourie, Highland
Good Hotel Guide Review
Genuine Scottish hospitality, and the chance to catch giant hill loch brown trout, lure visitors to the Campbell family’s old coaching inn, in an area known for its spectacular mountain scenery, white sandy bays, and lochs and lochans teeming with wild trout and salmon. Bonhomie begins with tea and scones by roaring fires in lounges full of fishing memorabilia; tall tales are exchanged over drinks in the bar. At 7.30 pm, a gong summons diners to a set dinner focused on seafood and shellfish, Highland game and meat, home-grown vegetables. Drift off to peaceful sleep in a recently refurbished, TV-less bedroom. Large grounds encompass walled gardens and an orchard; a path leads down to the harbour.
