Our second visit. A great alternative to the Boat at Aboyne. We'll be back.

All the food was good/excellent. Service was friendly and seemed relaxed, but was actually speedy and attentive. Enjoyed the background presence of the wind turbines that so irritated Trump. Good choice of draught beers.

Nothing, really. I suppose that a wild night in winter could have made the outside journey to the bedroom more exciting that enjoyable.

It's an old Inn .... and doesn't pretend to be anything else

The beds ..... too small and a bit long in the tooth . The beds need to be replaced
