Romantic Highland Retreat

thoughtful styling soft bed local knowledge
The mansion had thoughtful styling. Our room was spacious and the bed was very soft. The in-room facilities were top notch! Mark took us on the moonlight tour and showed us hidden gems. His local knowledge was fantastic.
The steep driveway had unevenness in the surface. This does need addressing.
Dining

Breakfast was already in our room. The selection was perfect, though some fresh fruit and bread would improve it. Instant porridge was available instead of fresh porridge. This could be better.
Service

Key and instructions were in their own bag at the door. This was a great touch. The owner was seen briefly in the morning and gave a friendly wave. A proper greeting would be appreciated.
Facilities

The downstairs of the main house was immaculate. The lodge is very atmospheric with a library and a log fire place. I wish I had more time to curl up with a good book. The setting was cozy!
