Fodor's Expert Review Ardrhu House

Off A82 near Onich, Fort William, Highland, PH33 6SD, Scotland Fodor's Choice

Drive 10 miles south of Fort William, turn onto an unassuming country road, and you'll find this hidden gem of a guest house—a gorgeous old lochside manor with beautifully appointed bedrooms, a top-drawer restaurant, and even a small spa. The pick of the rooms is the spacious Master Suite, complete with a marble en suite that has a steam room. Dining comes in the form of an ever-changing, three-course set menu: expect seasonal dishes like langoustines with garlic butter and risotto with scallops or truffle. Ardrhu's Temple Spa offers a range of relaxing, Scottish-themed treatments—try the 60-minute, deep-tissue "Highland Tablet" massage—and there's an outdoor whirlpool tub, sauna, and steam room, too.

PROS

  • outdoor whirlpool tub overlooking Loch Linnhe
  • exceptional dining
  • Master Suite has its own steam room

CONS

  • a 20-minute drive from Fort William
  • continental breakfast only
  • no TVs in the bedrooms
