"Good breakfast with gluten free option. "

"We had the absolute best time staying in a CASTLE. It was a beautiful location with truly the BEST staff. They were so helpful and so nice. We would recommend this to anyone that was looking for a special stay. "

"Stayed in the Townhouse. Clean fresh decor in entrance and room was bright and comfortable. Staff friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. "

"Friendly and welcoming staff. Unexpected room upgrade upon arrival which was wonderful. If you want charm in a beautiful Highlands locale along the whisky trail, this is it. Dinner was incredibly delicious in the hotel's dining room. Their chef is out of this world. Bar has every whisky known to man ... kidding of course, but they are well stocked and knowledgeable. We stayed one night and wished we had booked a longer visit. It was meant to be a stop on our way out of a two day drive through...
