The very best places to stay in
West Scotland
With its island-dotted seas, dramatic peninsulas, and misty mountains that fall straight into the ocean, West Scotland is pure magic. From the sea lochs of Argyll to the white-sand beaches of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula and the ferry-hopping Hebridean isles beyond (Mull, Skye, Iona), this is Scotland at its most atmospheric, a region defined by water and wildness.
Our handpicked stays along the west coast and Fort William are full of quiet charm and thoughtful design. Whether it’s a lochside cabin with wild swimming on your doorstep or an off-grid retreat with nothing but sea breeze and stars, these unique places will steal your heart. See our Kip tips for the region below.

Secret Kip tip
The drive to the Ardnamurchan Peninsula is worth every minute in the car or on the train. The most westerly point on mainland Britain, it’s home to idyllic white-sand beaches, ancient oakwoods, utter silence and off-grid adventure. You can even free dive for scallops! Base yourself at these magical cottages for 4 + 6.
Best activity
The cinematic splendour of Glen Etive & Glen Coe. Hike or drive through its towering peaks and epic scenery. We also love the Glen Nevis gorge, which leads to the spectacular Steall Falls, the 2nd-highest waterfall in the UK.
Foodie treat
The freshest lobsters, plucked from Loch Fyne.
