  • What a shame you are not accepting guests with a dog. We will have a small Cairn Terrier with us. We wanted to book junior s-te. Would you reconsider?

    Hi There, So sorry but we have a no pet policy in the hotel in order to respect those with allergies. There are a couple of other hotels in the area that offer dog friendly rooms (The Craigellachie & The Station). Kind Regards, The Murrays
