All the staff were very positive and helpful, especially when we had an early start on leaving. The location is beautiful and the hotel has a lot of character. The Long Room was a great venue for meeting other guests and sampling whiskies or drinks of choice. The food was of good quality, with ample portions.

Maggie United Kingdom

This a hidden heritage gem with a warm feel to it, lovely setting, great Scotch collection and excellent food presented well and in a timely fashion. The owner that we met was lovely with a honest, helpful approach. This rubs off well on his staff.
