A fabulous Inn in beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside. We were met by our host & shown to our gorgeous room which was immaculately clean & comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious, 5 star service. We finished off our evening with a night cap in the Whisky Snug - so cozy. Breakfast was fab & we left feeling full & contented. A must stay for a special occasion, you are treated so well. !!

Lovely Guest House in the idyllic Cairngorms. We were welcomed with homemade chocolate cake upon arrival. The hosts were very helpful and offered a ton of information about hiking trails, local wildlife etc. They are obviously very passionate about their beautiful region and it is the place to stay if you love the outdoors. The room was very cosy with a big comfortable bed. Very delicious breakfast with a lot of options. The only downside was that we didn’t stay longer. I would love to come back!
