Judges' notes

There's no question that Kilcamb Lodge has one of the most beautiful settings of all Scotland's country house hotels. Not merely the immediate site - facing a meadow (paths cut in swathes in summer) that sweeps to the very edge of Loch Sunart - but the enveloping landscape of Ardnamurchan and its winsome wildness. But don't think the hotel inaccessible: it's a real alternative to staying in Fort William.

The drive-on, high-frequency Corran ferry takes you over from a point between Ballachulish and Fort William to Ardnamurchan; 20 minutes or so will have you at Strontian (keep on going and you'll come to the ferry to Mull). Scrunch down the drive to the historic old house and we're sure that the Romantic Hotel of the Year 2010 will soon captivate you. Real fires and a charming atmosphere await. Hosts David and Sally provide a warm welcome.

The pretty porch opens into a lounge with books, curios and a glowing fire; the bar area - with its nautical appeal - is on the other side of the ground level with check-in in the middle. Along a corridor is the gorgeous, boutique-style sitting room with its big windows and generous sofas. The dining room, where quality contemporary Scottish cuisine is served, is elegantly pretty and comfortable.

Bedrooms are highly individual and no two are alike. Nice touches abound. Our favourite room is perhaps the Monarch Suite (0ne of 3 suites) with its superb vistas on two sides, designer fabrics and upmarket style. Room 1 has a balcony; in the wonderfully Scottish-themed Sunart Suite on the floor you can be very privately ensconced. This is such a completely romantic spot, after all.

Highly Recommended by us as a Country House Hotel.
