The Fife Arms
Braemar, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
A Highland hotel that doubles as an art gallery – Picasso on the walls, Bowie-era quirk in the bedrooms – and somehow still makes children feel welcome. The art room and forager-led treasure hunts are clever touches, and the Cairngorms are on the doorstep for red squirrels and burns to splash in.
