Ian and Hillary, the hosts, run a first-class operation! The accommodations were spotless, and the breakfasts were superb. Just a nice, quiet place to relax. For a staff of three people running this B&B, they put many other "4-star" hotels we have stayed at, with large staff and budgets, to shame. We WILL be back next trip to Scotland!

The building itself is very impressive up a long drive, and quite an imposing building. We were travelling from Inverness during the evening rush hour and missed the turn off to the right so be warned! Ian, our host was at the door to welcome us and was very friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious and grand, with a sumptuous bed, very modern bathroom with shower and a lovely outlook over the extensive garden. Ian told us that the wifi was not good but, in fact, we had good connection. We drove into town for dinner (around 6/7 minutes), parked in the Co-op car park which was central to the town and went to eat in The Class Room, which was one of 4 restaurants recommended by Ian. Breakfast in the morning was very satisfying, with a selection of juices, cereals, breads, and a full Scottish Breakfast. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

This was one of the nicest bed and breakfasts that we stayed in! Lots of attention to detail--beautifully restored rooms, candles and matches by the beautiful bathtub, and high quality and fluffy bath sheets. Breakfast was delicious, and Ian and Hilary were excellent hosts. Ian booked us dinner reservations, and Hilary cooked breakfast and told us all about their story. Highly recommend this place. Stay more than one night, though. We wished we had stayed longer here. There's lot to see and do nearby. Definitely would like to return.

Superb, most recommended
Superb house and delightful, tastefully furnished room with large, well equipped bathroom. The hosts were friendly, most welcoming and professional. In this case, the attribute outstanding is well deserved. If the best accolade for a hospitality venue is to see customers coming back, we certainly intend to do that.

Fantastic Hotel
Had a relaxing stay in this beautiful hotel situated in it own private well maintained grounds. Peaceful and tranquil with red squirrels running around carefree but stil close enough to local attractions and restaurants. Our room was large with all amenities and lovingly dressed, extremely clean and tidy also. Made to feel very welcome and looked after by a fabulous couple. The cooked breakfast was amazing and we can't fault any part of our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Even more comfortable than it looks.
