"Loved the setting, the beautiful oak staircase and woodwork throughout, the tartan furnishings, the stunning antique furniture, our huge, spacious and immaculately clean bedroom with the most comfortable bed and crisp white sheets I have ever sunk into, the elegant and utterly delicious breakfast with local produce, and the friendliness of our hosts. We absolutely love our stay, thank you!!!"
