Explore Scotland’s Finest Luxury Hotels, From Majestic Castles to Boutique Retreats.

As a chauffeur-drive company dedicated to providing bespoke tours of Scotland, we have the opportunity to visit and experience some of the country’s most luxurious hotels. Whether you’re seeking a golfing retreat, a romantic escape, or the ultimate Scottish getaway, these hotels offer something unique, blending exceptional service with the breathtaking beauty of Scotland. Our Managing Director, Heather Matthews, has had the pleasure of staying in several of these remarkable places. Here are Heather’s top picks for luxury hotels in Scotland, each a destination in itself.

Inverlochy Castle, Fort William

As part of the Luxury Scotland collection, Inverlochy Castle is a truly majestic experience. Situated at the foot of Ben Nevis, it offers the ultimate Highland escape with unparalleled views and a sense of historic grandeur.

“My stay at Inverlochy Castle was incredible. The food was divine, and the staff went above and beyond to look after us. We were even upgraded to a suite, which made the experience even more special.”

Let us transport you through the majestic Highlands to this historic castle, where you can immerse yourself in luxury amidst breathtaking scenery. We can also organise bespoke tours of nearby attractions like the Glenfinnan Viaduct or the magical Isle of Skye.

The Machrie Hotel, Islay

Nestled on the beautiful island of Islay, The Machrie Hotel offers a serene escape from the everyday. While known for its world-class golf course, this hotel caters to everyone, not just avid golfers. Whether you want to explore the island’s famous whisky distilleries or simply unwind in the stunning surroundings, The Machrie is an idyllic retreat.

Heather speaks fondly of her visits:

“The Machrie is a beautiful hotel. I’ve stayed here a couple of times and loved every minute. While it’s a golf hotel, you don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy your stay. The food is amazing, and one of my favourite parts is the private cinema—after dinner, you can choose a film and enjoy it on the big screen. Plus, the island of Islay makes you feel like you’ve truly escaped.”

This hidden gem, with its rugged coastlines and pristine beaches, is the perfect addition to a luxury Scottish tour.

The Roseate, Edinburgh

Formerly known as Dunstane House, The Roseate is a stunning Victorian mansion offering boutique luxury in the heart of Edinburgh. This beautiful property combines timeless elegance with modern comforts, making it a perfect choice for visitors seeking a high-end experience in Scotland’s capital.

“The Roseate is a beautiful old building. It feels like stepping back in time with its classic architecture and stylish interiors. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and the food is excellent. It’s the perfect place to stay if you want a luxurious, personal experience while exploring Edinburgh.”

Whether you’re visiting for the history, culture, or festivals, we can take you on a chauffeured tour through the cobbled streets of Edinburgh, stopping at must-see landmarks, and returning you to the tranquil elegance of The Roseate.

Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire

Gleneagles is often described as one of the best hotels in Scotland, and it’s easy to see why. Famous for its golf, spa, and Michelin-starred dining, Gleneagles is the epitome of Scottish luxury.

“Gleneagles stands out as one of the best hotels in Scotland, offering unmatched luxury and service. The staff have been there for years, and they know how to make every guest feel special. Even when the hotel is busy, there’s a sense of personal service. You never feel like just another number—everything feels tailored to you.”

We offer chauffeur-driven transfers to Gleneagles, so you can arrive in style and begin your luxurious stay from the moment you step into one of our vehicles. Why not book a private tour of Perthshire while you’re there? With us, you can explore the beautiful landscapes, whisky distilleries, and historic castles that surround the hotel.

At Little’s, we believe that the journey is just as important as the destination. With our luxury chauffeur service, you’ll experience Scotland’s stunning landscapes in comfort and style. Let us handle the details so you can relax and enjoy every moment of your stay at these incredible hotels.

Whether you’re planning a golf getaway, a romantic retreat, or a cultural tour, our curated luxury tours will ensure your experience is unforgettable.
