We stayed here for 3 days and had a really nice time. The property is very well maintained and clean. Our room was very nice. The bed was a bit small and the floorboards were a bit creaky. The walls are very thin and consequently “in room noises “ from other rooms were easily heard. The location is very rural and not close to much. The restaurant was decent but the service was poor. Don’t get the mussels!

Relaxing and lovely.
What a lovely , peaceful place. Staff very friendly. Room very clean and comfortable. The dinner menu is a bit pricey and there was a mix up in meals. My friend ended up with chicken instead of the sea bass ….hence one star off for service… our dinner drinks were ages in coming too. I will definitely be going back when the spa opens.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall room was average in what i have stayed in . On viewing the bathroom area , the cleaning was disappointing as the toilet still had not been cleaned from the last guest . Hairs on the seat and other persons toilet still in the basin . When seating on the toilet it was to close to wall and the toilet holder was right by you on the right hand side.Poor lighting in bathroom. On a plus side food was very good , breakfast and dinner A1.

Hotel super. Staff in all areas were fabulous- friendly and extremely professional. Only one comment was that room 1 was noisy as directly above bar/restaurant and there was a group of men on a conference who were up until around 1am. However, could not fault anything else. Breakfast was wonderful

A great choice!
Super friendly and attentive staff, a credit to the hotel. Food was delicious, nice touches included a glass of wine on arrival as, well as biscuits and a small bottle of liqueur in the room. Fantastic, uninterrupted views of the countryside, and the gorgeous highland cattle, in the next field. Overall a very pleasant atmosphere.

I am a regular guest, visiting at least monthly on business. Truely this is my home from home, a beautiful location and property in every season. The rooms are comfortable and the service and food exceptional. Just need to find time to visit for leisure!
