Fodor's Expert Review Garvault House

Billed as mainland Britain’s most remote hotel (Tongue, its nearest town, is 28 miles and an hour's drive away), the charmingly rustic and almost entirely off-grid Garvault House offers a classic countryside escape in the heart of the Highlands. The white-walled property, which is surrounded by rolling hills, winding rivers, and sprawling lochs, is a popular stop with fishermen, hill walkers, and cyclists, who appreciate its traditional stylings, from the roaring fireplaces to the communal, three-course dinners (£29 extra). It's not the most luxurious retreat, but it's a very memorable one. To get here from Tongue, head east on the A836, then turn south on the B871 just before Achnabourin.
