Ardanaiseig was built in the Scottish Baronial manner for Colonel Archibald Campbell of Clan Campbell in 1834. It was designed by William Burn and is listed for its architectural importance. Burn's other work includes Bowhill for the Duke of Buccleuch and a number of Edinburgh's finest 19th century buildings.www.ardanaiseig-hotel.comBy Taynuilt Kilchrenan, PA35 1HE

Taychreggan is a deeply relaxing and secluded Scottish country house hotel, beautifully situated on the shores of Loch Awe, Oban, Scotland. Originally a humble cattle drover's inn, it has been tastefully updated and the view through the windows over the water is superb. There are 20 bedrooms, some with four posters, with many overlooking the loch.www.taychregganhotel.co.ukKilchrenan, PA35 1HQ
