Hill House Hotel

Scotland

If you’re looking for Scotland’s best viewpoint, the search is over. Hill House is the newest boutique getaway from 57 Nord and joins sister property Sky House deep in the oh-so-serene north-west Highlands. While inspired by traditional Scottish shielings, Hill House is no shepherd’s hut, taking off-grid living to luxury heights while firmly connecting with its surrounding landscapes. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views across the breathtaking Loch Duich, 13th-century Eilean Donan Castle and the Kintail Mountains, while the beauty continues inside too. Design is pared back, paying homage to the region’s Norse-Gaels heritage in a blend of Scandi-Scottish craftsmanship and signature style. The deep, freestanding baths are an invitation to slow down and recharge before a supper of creel-caught langoustines, freshly supplied from local fisherman Duncan from down the hill.

Sleeps four; three nights from £1,375. 57nord.co.uk
