A Scottish hotel situated in an "enchanting" area of the country has been named one of the best in the world.
Lundies House in the Highlands was named the 22nd-best hotel in the world and was praised for its "enchanting" surroundings and "surprisingly" good value.
The hotel was featured alongside a number of respected establishments such as La Casa del Califa in Spain and Borgo Santo Pietro in Tuscany, Italy.
Introducing the list, The Telegraph said: "Some 24 of our hotel reviewers made up five judging panels; Europe, Asia, Americas and Caribbean, Africa and Oceania.
"Using their own expertise, our reviews and an analytical formula, they were able to rate and thus rank the hotels in question."

Discussing Lundies House, The Telegraph said: "This Scandi-Scottish-styled lodge on the northern-most stretch of the enchanting Highlands is a full-board, luxury experience that feels out of this world, in an equally extraordinary landscape.
"Experiences like this don’t usually come cheap, but the various inclusions at Lundies House make it a surprisingly good-value proposition.
"The aesthetic is arthouse luxury but also homely, with huge arrangements of foraged wildflowers dotted around the rooms. There’s a fire pit outside, with blankets and benches surrounding it, and an honesty bar in the main house, stocked with local gins and other treats.
"Chefs work all day to prepare supper, working with locally sourced ingredients and herbs from the garden."
Mark C O'Flaherty, one of the European judges employed by the publication, added: “Every detail of your stay has been laboured over, including the Mismo backpacks you can borrow to carry your sandwiches in (made from home-baked bread, wrapped in waxed brown paper and tied up with string)."
The hotel has also received much praise from visitors on Tripadvisor with users giving the spot a 5/5.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
