Relaxing and rejuvenating stay.
This property is incredible. Bruce came to meet us and made us feel so comfortable. The views from every room will take you back to simpler times and you can’t help but relax. The amenities were incredible and they weren’t missing anything we needed. It is well located for day trips. We did Edinburgh, glinkinchie distillery, and Floor Castle. Very impressed and hope to return. Only downside was that our stay was too short.
