Nice touches in lounge and bathrooms. Suruchi is an excellent hostess. Breakfast was amazing and the service was great. Quiet rural/country setting with great views.

    The hotel is in a quiet, idyllic village and is steeped in history. Our room was large, beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The bathroom was modern and the room had all the facilities you needed. We ate in the restaurant and the food was fabulous as good as you would expect in an al a carte restaurant. Breakfast was excellent with a good range of choice and locally sourced produce. The price was very reasonable compared to other hotels we had booked for our road trip around the lakes and Scottish highlands and was the best!

    Great location, especially if you travel with a dog. There are some farm animals nearby but they are fenced. The cottage is spacious, quiet so you can easily relax. Since there is a kitchen you can cook there which is great. When we visited it was Sep and was warm so no complaints about that!
