This could be a nice property but the grounds are extremely run down. Don’t take a room in a cottage if you have mold sensitivity. The staff is friendly so there is that. Would not choose this spot again. Floors creaky above our room was awful.

Good location and couldnt fault the cleanliness, Didn't venture into the bar or the restaurant as we arrived later in the evening. But upon looking at the menu in room it looks like a 3 course meal was costing £70pp regardless, and a taster menu was £95pp. Wouldn't class it a high standard room with the in room offerings if thats what you're looking for ! But perfectly fine for us. Bathroom was shiney spotless.

Lovely country house hotel
Friendly staff and were upgraded to room in the Hotel, rather than the cottages. Room was lovely and bathroom luxurious. Dinner and breakfast were served in the conservatory which had a lovely outlook of the gardens and a bird feeder which attracted a lot of birds. Dinner was excellent, Michelin Star material. We walked in gardens which were picturesque with Waterfall and WaterMill only about 50 yards from the Hotel. Check out the record Salmon in the Bar.

A lovely and unusual property right on a loch. The breakfast room in this gorgeous estate has expansive views of the loch and hills. We stayed in the New Garden Suite, which was like having our own wing with a large room with a king sized bed and a remodeled bathroom. It was extremely clean, the bedding was high quality, and robes and slippers were provided. Breakfast was delicious with many options.

A friendly welcome awaited us at this beautiful property. Our room ( lodge) was stunning. Warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Fell asleep to the sound of the river roaring down beside the lodge. Breakfast was served by efficient, very friendly staff and was delicious. Would definetly recommend and hope to return.

Porridge cold and not creamy. I paid for two but it was only me. Poor choice of fruit for breakfast. I couldn’t open the door of the bedroom. I couldn’t have soup when I arrive later. Kitchen was closed. Too pricy for the offer.

The the mean house and nearby accommodations are in a forest settling and absolutely stunning. There are woks outlined on the property which makes your time they are both peaceful and quiet. The staff is exceptionally helpful from check-in to check out and the chef is highly skilled. My dinner was delicious as were both breakfasts. And I'd loved the way they greeted you at the bar settled you with a drink and then took you into dinner, vast managing both the food preparation and serving process to best advantage. This property is a gem.
