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
