8/10 Good
"A beautiful,atmospheric place to stay,giving a sense of what living in a historic Scottish country house would be like-not least how chilly it can be in the early autumn before the fires would be lit. Our stay was very enjoyable, helped by the efficient and pleasant staff. Our room was comfortable if a little out of the way up in the roof space but we would have liked more lamps, more hooks and shelves for toiletries and we did not need the large green light pointing the way out to the corridor and safety. Excellent breakfast(including haggis). Lovely grounds and building with a great library,music room,whisky bar to explore."
