The hotel is in a beautiful spot in the bend of a small river which provided for nice opportunities for a short evening and morning walk. The cost of BB&D is somewhat on the expensive side but the quality of the accommodation and food is... More

We only stayed for one night but we were both very impressed with pretty much everything about the hotel - our room was nice and large with a pleasant view, the food and service were excellent (both at dinner and at breakfast) and the surroundings of the hotel are great - don't miss a walk down the river to the...

We were overjoyed to find this lovely country house and we were looked after so well. Every aspect about the house was perfect, even down to the lovely waterfall at the bottom of the garden! The rooms were large and clean and the staff were very pleasant and helpful from the moment when we stepped over the doorstep until we... More

Due to this price we paid, my expectations were low. I could not believe, the lovely setting, the warm welcome, the big comfy rooms, the general cleanliness and the great food! The staff were all friendly, without being intrusive and Annie is a wee gem! I would definantly recommend this place!

Booked as a two night stay for two couples at an attractive rate. The location is excellent: quiet and secluded, but not far from anywhere (in a North of Scotland context). We were met by the manageress, who was friendly and welcoming, as were all the staff. Both rooms were absolutely fantastic, comfortable, and clean. We ate in both nights,... More

Sadly the night we stayed there was only 1 other couple at the hotel - this is a crying shame as this place should be full every night. Extremely friendly, helpful staff, a wonderful bedroom with views to die for (Cairnmhor I think?) with everything thought of. Cant remember the last time we stayed in a hotel that had sheets... More
