very renewing
Pros:

This is a very special place - it has its own sweet herd of long horn cattle, a sauna, a lovely library space and paintings loaned from the Edinburgh galleries. The staff were super friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have had a small gym or fitness room.

Great place to relax and enjoy Highland tours
Pros:

The structure is perfectly in line with the wonderful country side context with a touch of confort and modern revisitation
Wonderful sauna in the middle of the country side with great view and privacy
Service is good. Staff young, polite and available

Cons:

Dinner has a limited choice and the menu remains the same over the stay (3 days in our case). Food is OK but overpriced
I would have liked to have the airplane tour I booked but it was cancelled due to bad weather and was not possible to find another slot (this is of course out of the control of the structure)

Tra i fumi e i castelli della
Pros:

La struttura è nuova, arredata con molto gusto. C’è una zona sauna all aperto, degli animali al pascolo… bello.

Cons:

La cosa che in assoluto non ho amato personalmente è stata questa abitudine che hanno di bruciare no stop legna in un vaso enorme per “profumare” l’esterno. Questa abitudine non solo produce fumo TOSSICO che non si dovrebbe respirare ma costringe gli ospiti a mangiare con folate di cenere all’esterno. Durante il pranzo a ogni folata di vento mi volavano addosso e sul tavolo pezzi di cenere. I miei vestiti puzzavano, i capelli puzzavano ed era impossibile godersi gli spazi comuni fuori per via di questa malsana abitudine.

Migliorerei la colazione: la mattina ho chiesto delle uova strapazzate e non le fanno. È un peccato perché la struttura è bella e ha un potenziale enorme ma per i prezzi richiesti non contemplare di fare due uova strapazzate al mattino mi sembra un po’ un peccato.

La mia stanza basic era piccola e non molto luminosa, un po’ mansardata….non l’ho molto amata onestamente.

La cucina a pranzo sulle carni mi è sembrata buona mentre la sera… non all’altezza di un posto del genere.
