Fantastic stay!

Fantastic stay at the Allanton inn. Bar and restaurant is great, especially having a drink in the large outdoor area. Staff are very helpful and extremely friendly. The bed in our room was a little hard but it this is a minor issue for such a great stay.

Allanton Inn

Great Inn, brilliant food and great rooms. William was an excellent host and nothing was too much trouble. An isolated location, but all the better for that. Cannot recommend this establishment enough. Brilliant garden and outside facilities for the better Scottish weather.
