Am coming back to the Homeland in a few weeks to get hitched, as part of this would like to escape for a couple of days with the new wife. Anyone got suggestions/links to nice holiday accom - just a couple of nights , somewhere Ft Williamish could work for a sort of vaguely honeymoon kind of thing. Basically we're outdoors people so would be out and about most of the time in the cold but a nice cottage or hotel or something could be a nice surprise !

Try Croft dhu in Newtonmore. Cosy and well equipped. Under new management whom I don't know mountains (1 Munro) out the back so you can walk from the Croft.

Here - http://www.bedandbreakfast-directory.co.uk/uploads/estate/hotels/hotels43239.htm ** If you like dogs - it's VERY small B&B, lovely people but they did let dogs around at brekkie etc etc

Also suggest Plockton - cracking scenery etc. The Manse - http://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g319815-d629131-r7960191-The_Manse-Plockton_Ross_and_Cromarty_Scottish_Highlands_Scotland.html

On balance I'd do manse - better scenery, some nice local pubs, can go otter spotting etc at Kyle of Lochalsh - drive to Skye - Quirang etc etc awesome scenery.

Also try Drimsynie Estates in Lochgoilhead, my old stomping ground and packed with A frame chalets and pubs. reasonable local trails too including a nice loop round the loch and over to Ardgarten. weather should be dreadful until about mid may but what can you do?

My mother. [url= http://www.balmillig.co.uk ]www.balmillig.co.uk[/url] near Loch Lomond, Good for a stop on the way up if you are heading north/south.
Unsurpassed outdoor knowledge and breakfast.
