Of all the Small Luxury Hotels in Scotland, this little Highland Hotel boasts one of the most stunning locations on the edge of loch Sunart with loch and mountain views from every window.

It would be hard to imagine a more peaceful, romantic or unique setting where the standards of service and dining are equal to the beauty of its surroundings.

The Highlands of Scotland is the most remote and stunning area and Loch Sunart, on the beautiful Ardamurchan Peninsula, is reputedly the most beautiful Loch in Scotland, out-shining even Loch Lomond for its mystical scenery and beauty - and here you will find Kilcamb Lodge nestled on its shore, on the edge of the small and sleepy highland village of Strontian.

The area is home to otters, eagles and red squirrels; remote and stunning castles, mountain walks to take your breath away and white sandy beaches where the only footprints in the sand will be yours.

Enjoy the comfort of one of the castle’s opulent bedrooms; stroll through three and a half acres of stunning wooded grounds, unwind with the latest spa treatments; or simply sit at the window in our rooftop lounge and enjoy an aperatif overlooking some of the finest scenery in the world. The food is exemplary, the wine cellar extensive, and the service from the staff thoughtful, personal and timely.

The Inn at Lathones is a charming 400 year old coaching Inn (the oldest coaching Inn in Scotland), situated seven miles south of the famous golfing town of St Andrews.

The Inn’s award-winning food is inspired by ‘Cooking in Trilogy’. Once, many years ago, there was "Buffet service". Then during the 18th &19th Century came "Russian service" followed fairly quickly after by "English service". In the back end of the 20th Century came "Platted service" and with this came the tasting menu. This broke down in literal terms to be simply: A Plate; A Recipe; A Taste

From this, Damian and Yves Thuries of Le Grand Ecuyer set about creating a new and exciting form of cooking called Trilogy. This allows the gourmet to discover tastes that blend together and excite whilst sampling 3 dishes on one plate at one time. It is Marc’s ambition to make this style of cooking as famous in Scotland as it is in France today.
