Fodor's Expert Review Sandaig B&B

Mallaig, Highland, PH41 4PL, Scotland Fodor's Choice

If you're looking for a bonafide get-away-from-it-all stay, this remote B&B on the western reaches of the Knoydart peninsula is hard to beat. Set within what was once a 19th century chapel and overlooking a beautiful sandy bay, it's a good 90-minute walk away from Inverie, already the most remote village in mainland Britain. Run by Swiss couple Bettina and Roland, who welcome their guests with a delicious raclette dinner (£20 per person extra), Sandaig has its own, limited electricity supply, which means no TVs and Wi-Fi but plenty of books and games—including a full-size snooker table. Rooms in the main building are functional rather than luxurious, so those staying longer may prefer to book into the more spacious annex property.

PROS

  • delicious raclette cooked by Swiss hosts
  • stunning bay views
  • historic building with rustic charm

CONS

  • clean and comfy rather than all-out luxury
  • no TV or Wi-Fi but games galore
  • a 90-minute walk from Inverie
