The room was spacious and excellently decorated with a lovely 4 poster bed. How romantic! The bathroom was large and we unexpectedly even had a sauna room as well. What a surprise! The tub was enormous but the shower stall was a bit on the small side. Very clean. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were soft. It takes getting used to drying one’s hair outside of the bathroom but they conveniently gave us a portable 5x mirror which we placed on top of the heater and just sat on the bed...

We chose this property for its proximity to the Highland Games we were attending. The property looked nice on the website, and we saw that it had a restaurant, but everything about it exceeded our expectations! The room was beautiful (our compliments to the decorator) and we loved the Victorian high tank toilet. Each course of the meal was more amazing than the last, and from the awards on the wall I suppose we should not have been surprised. Our hosts were exceptional and we loved learning...
