ARDANAISEIG, on the banks of Loch Awe, has been selected by the UK Good Hotel Guide as the top Scottish Romantic and Country House Hotel.
The 16-bedroom house, which sits in 120 acres near Taynuilt and has its own private island, is the only hotel in Scotland included in either of these categories of the 2017 edition of the guide.
The book says the hotel is ‘filled with antiques, theatrical bedrooms styled by a set designer … the views of loch and mountain are dreamy, the star-filled skies revelatory’.
