Newhall Mains is a stylish rural retreat on the Black Isle, home to self-catering, dog-friendly cottages and countrified suites, with log burners and fully stocked kitchens to keep you going through the winter (and all seasons). Tuck into Scottish prime cuts and Cromarty seafood on the asado grill at the on-site restaurant, sip cocktails in the Japanese-inspired whisky bar, or take a scenic flight from the private airstrip (the young owner is also a fully-fledged pilot). For those venturing out, picnic hampers are available to pack for day trips.

This Greek Revival villa feels less like a hotel and more like staying at an artsy friend’s country estate that’s been beautifully restored, is brimming with communal spaces to lounge, and a wood-fired sauna hidden in the woodland.

Crafting 100% organic beers from its own farm, this cult beerhouse offers a range of ales and lagers brewed without isinglass. Its quaintest overnight offering comes in the form of a handcrafted shepherd’s hut on the farm, providing a rustic retreat with views over organic fields.  

Campbell’s of Beauly is a true Highland institution, weaving over a century’s worth of tailoring heritage with a modern appreciation for quality and Scottish style. Established in 1858, this family-run shop – originally known as the Highland Tweed House – has outfitted generations in classic Scottish country attire. Today, it offers a curated selection of ready-to-wear garments and bespoke tailoring services, including plus-fours, kilts, and sport coats, crafted on-site by skilled artisans. The shop's walls are lined with exclusive fabrics, many sourced from local mills, with a royal warrant from King Charles III to top it all off.
