Irene, United Kingdom

Fabulous, privately owned, and it shows in every aspect. Welcoming, warm and friendly. A beatuful country-house hotel in a beatiful setting. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Syd, United Kingdom

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfy and spotless and the bedding was of a very high standard. The hotel was set in its own garden/grounds and very peaceful with far reaching mountain views. The fudge and wafer-thin homemade shortbread biscuits where delicious and came with afternoon tea or coffee in the beautifully light and airy sitting room. The man who served us in the bar on both evenings was such a nice person and very interesting to talk to. He was also very knowledgeable on all aspects of whiskey, much to my husbands delight! Our boarder Collie Islay was made very welcome and was welcome to accompany us in all areas except the dinning room.

Stephen, United Kingdom

The gamekeepers breakfast is fantastic. Choice of malt whisky is great with really knowledgable barman. All staff really pleasant and cheerful.

눉Only that I wasn't drinking so missed out on the delicious margarita another guest was having, and the bar full of interesting whiskeys.
눇Superb service from front of house staff who couldn't do enough to help. As the hotel was quiet we were upgraded to a room with a view of the beautiful gardens. Although we had to leave early the following morning, a packed breakfast was waiting for us - including the cheesecake we had debated having for dinner the previous evening but were too full from the delicious meal to eat! A really lovely touch. Thank you. All we were looking for was a pleasant hotel within a short drive of Inverness airport as a nice end to our holiday. Now we need to find an excuse to return!
