Very good

Liked: Room spacious, comfortable and clean. Cooked breakfast was amazing.Home baking was great and lovely touch.Owners helpful and friendly.
Disliked: Dram of whisky in room. Neither of us drink it so a waste of money. Husband drank it just to be polite. Maybe better to say can have one drink of choice.Smart TV but difficult to operate and seems you can only access some aspects if already a subscriber.

Absolutely Fantastic

Liked: Everything, what a lovely place to stay. We decided on an overnight stay a few months back, we have only stopped in the village in the passing so we decided to stay overnight. We were graciously welcomed to the premises by Helen who took the time to explain a bit about the building and the facilities in the room they had, where breakfast was served and appropriate times. We were pointed to local restaurants for our evening meal and given all the options depending on types of food available. Once we had eaten and a few drinks later we retired to the room which was warm clean and comfortable. We loved the whiskey in the room which was a lovely touch. A coffee machine in the room allowed us to make a coffee before heading for breakfast. Breakfast was simply delicious, a freshly cooked Scottish breakfast certainly set us both up for the day. Thank you for a lovely stay and a great memory. We will return at some point for sure.

An amazing venue run by...

Liked: Kev & Helen were exceptional hosts. We were met by Kev when we checked in and we had a great chat with him in the very comfy lounge. At breakfast Kev, Helen & Lisa couldn’t do enough to make sure we were well looked after, always on hand and making sure our beverages were topped off. The offer of a doggy bag for the left over pastries is a thing of genius.
Disliked: The dram of whisky could’ve been bigger ;-)In all seriousness absolutely nothing.
