Kingshouse Hotel (Glencoe)
Remote, but easily accessible 17th-century inn (b,l,d; £ & ££)
Isolated and on the fringes of the empty wilds of Rannoch Moor, the Kingshouse Hotel has oodles of Highland atmosphere in its good mid-range accommodation budget bunkhouse and couple of bars with reasonable pub food.
The Way Inn at the back of the hotel is a particularly fine place for muddy boots to end up in after a day in the outdoors.
If you do stay the night you may get to enjoy the magical play of dawn and dusk light up and down the glen and be able to watch deer grazing from your window.
Ballachulish, PH49 4HY
Cheapest room for two in high season: £250 (Bunkhouse bunks £50/night)
