Aultbea:
The second hotel in the village, but just outside the centre.
Location doesn’t help this in terms of locals in the bar, but there’s other attractions: Whisky Hotel of the year a few years ago, there’s a bewildering array of whisky, including some made in Scotland’s smallest legal still, out the back, which you can take tours of. The owner’s a real character.
Food is similar, but I think the Aultbea Hotel has the edge.
