Sleeping
It's best to book well ahead in summer, especially for hostels.
LIME TREE££
( 01397-701806;
www.limetreefortwilliam.co.uk
; Achintore Rd; s/d from £80/110; )
Much more
interesting than your average guesthouse, this former Victorian manse overlooking Loch
Linnhe is an 'art gallery with rooms', decorated throughout with the artist-owner's atmo-
spheric Highland landscapes. Foodies rave about the restaurant, and the gallery space - a
triumph of sensitive design - stages everything from serious exhibitions (works by David
Hockney and Andy Goldsworthy have appeared) to folk concerts.

; Grange Rd; r per person £58-63; )
An exceptional
19th-century villa set in its own landscaped grounds, the Grange is crammed with an-
tiques and fitted with log fires, chaise longues and Victorian roll-top baths. The Turret
Room, with its window seat in the turret overlooking Loch Linnhe, is our favourite. It's
500m southwest of the town centre.
