+ This is an absolutely stunning property and I would 100% wish to stay here again. It is an old traditional highland home and has been decorated throughout, from the entrance to the sitting room to the dining area, to the bar to the actual rooms accordingly. It was all so magical that we even took photos of the general decor and various antiques and artefacts. The room itself was gorgeous. View over the forested area was so beautiful with the autumn colours. The food menu was great in the evening and the included breakfast in the morning was the best self serve breakfast of the whole trip. It included the usual things like toast and cereal but also had extras (at no extra cost) including smoked salmon, freshly baked pastries (which just kept coming!), various cheeses and charcuterie meats (not just packeted ham!) Staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. We want to especially thank the frightfully well spoken young man who checked us in and served us all evening during our stay. He was amazing! He searched the whole property high and low for the gin we had ordered but alas was not found - and yet still he persevered and attended to all our needs following this! Really close to various attractions, including Balmoral.
− The water pressure on the shower was quite low, but this is not unexpected in an old property like this. It was still a lovely bathroom.

+ We stayed in the kennel apartment and it was amazing. Private walled garden and outside seating area, very peaceful
− The dinner selection was only 4 items but they explained their usual chef was off, so that's fair enough.
