‘Mainland Britain’s most remote hotel’ is a bold claim, but Garvault House lives up to it. Located eight miles (13km) from the tiny hamlet of Kinbrace in northern Scotland, its nearest neighbour is four miles (6km) away, and the closest shop is a 40-minute drive.

There’s no mains gas or electricity, but guests enjoy a freshly prepared set menu each day. With no light pollution, the night skies are spectacular – often lit by the Northern Lights. Popular with hikers, birdwatchers and those craving true isolation, the hotel’s address is simply ‘off the B871’ – the only road, and building, for miles around.
