Remote Hotels
You don't need to crashland on a tropical desert island to get that middle-of-nowhere remote hotel experience in the UK.The country has plenty of hotels which offer that same remote and secluded feeling, just that little bit closer to home, that's all. But what makes a hotel remote? Being miles from the beaten path helps, but quite often it's a bit of a schlep to get to. However, as with everything, going that extra mile is always worth it because there's nothing like enjoying an isolated and exposed location from the comfort of a well-appointed hotel room. From private forts and hidden castles to secluded towers and clifftop perches, our remote hotels UK collection contains some of the most spectacularly isolated places to stay spread across the furthest corners of the UK – from cliffs and mountains to private beaches and islands. So you don't need to recreate Cast Away after all.
