Dine in: the best restaurants with rooms in Scotland

In Scotland, single track roads lead to remote dining spots, miles from anyone with only the fabulous sea, loch or mountain views for company – and of course, delicious food. Thankfully you won’t have to tackle the long and winding roads back home, as these restaurants all have rooms in which to book yourself for the night. From the highlands to the islands, here are the best restaurants with rooms in Scotland.
