With 16 elegant rooms each individually designed and clustered in cottages around two restaurants, there’s no want for choice at L’Enclume. Irregularly shaped rooms – testament to the oldness of the building – with views of the priory, serve only as distraction the main event: the food. Scan L’Enclume’s seasonal menu with a farm-to-table philosophy, starring key dishes like butter-poached turbot and Goosnargh duck with cherries and smoked beetroot. Those dedicated to a lengthy dinner should avail of the 20-course tasting menu. Exceptionally skilled and on the tiny side of things, these modestly portioned flavour pairings range from egg shell containing a yolk in mushroom broth to caramel mousse on compressed apple. Book in for breakfast (if you can bear to think of food again so soon) at L’Enclume’s sister restaurant Rogan & Co. for bistro-style dining and some delectable smoked haddock.

At this Danish-owned farmhouse in the Highlands, the minimalism of Scandi living stands alongside the raw serenity of Scottish life as four bedrooms, a cottage, a bothy and a cosy hayloft combine contemporary design with more traditional farmhouse vernacular. Feel the bracing Highland wind on your face on the farm’s catch-and-cook loch fishing experience before heading to the kitchen to salt-bake your catch with the chef. In Scandinavia, plunging into ice-cold water is a hallowed tradition, and Killiehuntly offers multiple opportunities to immerse yourself in nearby pools. Then head to the “sauna yard”, a Scandi-Scotch take on traditional Navajo sweat lodges.
