THE Isle of Mull Hotel & Spa has been named as Scotland’s Best Country Hotel 2023 in the Prestige Hotel Awards for a second consecutive year.
The 75-bedroom, four-star hotel, part of Crerar Hotels Group, achieved the accolade last year following a £4 million investment and retained the title at this year’s awards ceremony late last month. Crerar Hotels highlighted the fact that the award is voted for by members of the public.
Gemma Coll, general manager of the hotel, said: “To win the title of Best Country Hotel at the Scotland Prestige Hotel Awards for the second year in a row is an incredible feat and it's thanks to the wonderful team we have.

The hotel’s Driftwood Spa was launched in 2021 following a multi-million-pound investment.
