Extrem schön und luxuriös, wir hatten ein ganzes Apartment mit Erdgeschoss und ersten Stock + Ankleidezimmer. Es waren sicher 90 Quadratmeter

Alles war top

Luxurious property with the bonus of an upgrade

9.0

We had a very pleasant one night stay. We were given a room upgrade to a lovely duplex 'cottage' unit with a separate living room, kitchen and dressing room. It was great to be able to spread out as we were on a long trip and had quite a few bags and other luggage with us. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The property was a bit quiet, with just a few guests at breakfast and dinner. Beautifully finished and decorated - though maybe not 100% to my taste, with some original/interesting art. I'm sure that we'd have enjoyed the activities in the area, but we were just passing through.

I'd say that for the price - more expensive than properties we would usually book - the food could have been better. It was fine, just nothing special. The property was also a bit hard to find when we missed the turning the first time and our sat nav took us to what looked to be a rear entrance but was actually a private property. We'd have liked to be able to park our car right outside the unit but the walk to the parking was manageable.

Great luxury farm stay if the black isle is the preference

8.0

Beautiful interior design. Rooms are thoughtful with attention to detail. The reception staff weren’t particularly knowledgeable very helpful

Had high expectations for dinner at the restaurant. The waiting staff during our dinner service wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about the menu or ingredients and the food nor staff met our standards. The restaurant itself was beautiful, the barman was lovely and he was still learning about whiskeys (which we hoped for a bit more experience).
