“An expertly refurbished 13th-century castle on Scotland's rugged west coast. Interiors clash ancient walls and original cannons with Kashmiri drapes and crushed velvet sofas. There's fantastic fine dining with an ever-changing 6-course tasting menu. A wonderful blend of history, luxury, and nature.”
