Costco Star Rating

4.5 Star Hotel
Balblair, Balblair, IV7 8LQ, Scotland

Newhall Mains is a careful re-invention of the traditional “Mains” building — a Scottish term historically used to refer to the main buildings of a farm or working estate. Founded in 2020 by Euan Ramsay and his family, the 18th century property which, until recently, was classified 'at risk', has been lovingly restored into a boutique hotel. Designed by London-based Kelling Designs and refurbished by an extensive team of Highland-based craftsmen, Newhall Mains is a sublime retreat for families, adventurers or those simply looking for a quieter pace of life.

Hotel Details

Overview

Hotel Description

Previously derelict, the buildings’ exteriors have been faithfully restored using traditional materials: stone, lime render, lead and slate. Inside, the classic quadrangular layout has been re-interpreted to accommodate the 21st century traveler; underfloor heating, en-suite bathrooms, bespoke furniture and individually crafted fabrics. All the accommodation is individually designed & decorated, incorporating an eclectic yet functional twist on Highland hospitality. Whether it be hand painted bathrooms, bespoke furniture or patterned headboards each room has a clear tone of voice. With a plethora of activities on the doorstep, this is the ultimate base for exploring the Highlands. And for those looking to arrive in style this luxury accommodation provider in the UK has its own airfield.
