2 Best Hotels in Fife and Angus, Scotland

With eight bright and contemporary two-room suites, this popular "restaurant with rooms" is perhaps best known for its outstanding, modern, Scottish-style restaurant. Considered one of the finest in Scotland, it serves inspired dishes featuring quality, seasonal ingredients such as lamb, langoustine, monkfish, and wood pigeon. Once you've slept that off, breakfast is an array of homemade breads and jams enjoyed while gazing at the rolling pastures of Fife. The inn is 5 miles southeast of Cupar.

Ten acres of formal and informal gardens surround this vine-covered country house with individually designed rooms, a wonderful restaurant, and a cozy lounge-bar with a handsome fireplace and terrace. All the rooms and four lodges (ideal for families) are beautifully decorated and have big, comfortable beds and bright, contemporary bathrooms. Take a walk around the flower-filled gardens, especially on a summer's night. The Seasons Restaurant is popular with locals celebrating anniversaries and graduations. Dishes are fairly simple but well prepared and, of course, seasonal, with much picked from the kitchen garden. Look out for hand-dived scallops, roast lamb, and an unforgettable local cheese board. Lighter fare is available at the bar.
