Why should you trust us?
The Swank Guide has partnered with Booking.com and Tripadvisor to provide easy booking links for the hotels we recommend. Why? Because it ensures we can get you the lowest price, and it helps us continue to bring you empowering and entertaining content.
This new booking feature does not signal a change in our total editorial independence or in our status as a fully fan-supported business. Simply put: we have no financial relationship with any hotel or experience we recommend. We do not accept bags of cash, Dodgers tickets, sacrificial animals or blushing flatteries. The only way to get recommended by Swank is if we've tried it, loved it and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Swank you!

Set on 900 acres of postcard-worthy Scottish countryside, Newhall Mains offers a slice of refined tranquility just 40 minutes from Inverness Airport. This boutique gem features nine impeccably designed accommodations, ranging from cozy suites to standalone cottages (perfect for a group getaway). Thoughtfully restored from its 18th-century farm beginnings, the property combines historic charm with sleek modern touches. Think: heated floors, full kitchens, and bathrooms you’ll actually want to spend time in.
The dining scene here is a true highlight. With one restaurant on-site, housed in a former barn, expect a rotating menu of fresh, locally sourced ingredients served alongside a stellar wine list. There’s also a snug bar for pre-dinner drinks or a cozy nightcap by the fire. For adventure seekers with a taste for the unexpected, Newhall Mains even boasts its own private airstrip — yes, you can book a scenic flight over the Highlands with one of the owners as your pilot.
This is the kind of place that feels worlds away yet doesn’t skimp on convenience. Whether you’re here to explore the Highlands, start your North Coast 500 journey, or simply bask in the serenity, Newhall Mains checks all the boxes. It’s ideal for design enthusiasts, food lovers, and anyone looking to experience the Scottish Highlands without forgoing comfort.
