The Highlands of Scotland... the very words conjure up purple hills, misty glens, remote beauty, air as clean as the beginning of time. The village of Plockton is the very essence of the Highland experience. And in the heart of the village, the Haven Hotel - built a century ago as a merchant's residence, the Haven still retains its unique character. Behind its warm sandstone exterior, you'll find all the elements of a traditional Highland welcome - friendly service, well-appointed rooms and delicious locally-produced food.www.havenhotelplockton.co.ukInnes St, IV52 8TW

After an enjoyable day in the Highlands, there is nothing better than to settle down in your room and take in the view . All bedrooms have en-suite facilities and many look out across the loch to the mountains beyond. Two family suites are also available along with a cottage annexe nearby. The view from the hotel is simply breathtaking. Waking up here and looking out the window across the bay to the castle, the Applecross Hills and the sun rising over the loch is a sight that will remain with you always.www.plocktonhotel.co.ukHarbour St, IV52 8TN
