Staff was not friendly and offered no explanations regarding breakfast or which rooms on the main floor were open for guest use. Since it is INCREDIBLY difficult to get to and there’s no towns nearby, we had no options but to eat dinner there. The food was good but this definitely brought up our overall costs. Our stay was okay but given that it was by far our most expensive stay of our Scotland trip, I can’t say I’d recommend it. P

We stayed here as it was close to the highland games we were attending and was a nice stay. The property is very old and shows signs of it, but was part of the castle stay charm. The staff are wonderful and the hiking is breathtaking. Food was good and it was a neat stay in a castle. Would recommend.

This is such a unique stay. It is tucked way back in a beautiful location - we were so pleased with the solitary nature of the hotel! It is a *bit* fancier than we expected, but we were overall pleased with the space.
