a romantic highland retreat
convenient location romantic setting really good food relaxed atmosphere
the location offered easy access to the fine surrounding countryside i found the setting romantic. the co-located pub provided really good food a reservation there is definitely needed. the honesty bar in the hotel lounge promoted a relaxed and trustworthy atmosphere. the garden access from my room allowed my little dog to roam freely.
the light in my room was slightly dim a minor inconvenience, but noticeable.

friendly staff gluten-free options small shower dated bathroom
the staff was very friendly and helpful with directions. the breakfast included a good selection, and they had gluten-free options. they were not included tomatoes on my breakfast, that was disappointing. they had alternative though and i liked the options.
the bathroom felt a bit dated and shower was small. our room had twin beds pushed together, i wanted a double bed. this setup used two single duvets, not a double one. the result was not ideal.

Wonderful Stay with Fantastic Service
efficient checkin excellent breakfast secure parking
The check-in process was very efficient, and I appreciated the staff's attention to detail. The breakfast was excellent and provided a great start to the day. I especially appreciated the secure parking available for motorcycles. This was a huge help. The staff members were very friendly, especially Michael, he really took care of everything.
The bed was two single beds pushed together. It had two single quilts on top instead of a king-size duvet.
