Pros: Beautiful spa hotel in the middle of nowhere with stunning grounds and a few nearby activities if you fancy something different. We stayed overnight on our way back from the Highlands and it was the perfect peaceful stop. Would absolutely love to return for a proper spa break and recharge away from the hustle and bustle.

Relaxing and picturesque

Pros: So picturesque and peaceful. I had such a lovely time and the staff were very attentive and helpful. The facilities were good. I enjoyed using the spa. The highlight was my massage and facial. The massage therapist was excellent and it is one of the best massages I have ever had. I would highly recommend. I will definitely be back.
