A tökéletes kikapcsolódás helyszíne, ahol a cottage életérzést teljesen meg lehet tapasztalni.
Pros:

A szálloda szép környéken fekszik, sok a látnivaló és a programlehetőség. A személyzet rendkívül kedves, nagyon segítőkész, a tisztaság makulátlan, a hangulata a helynek nagyon - nagyon kellemes, családias, megnyugvást kelt, és egyáltalán nem hivalkodó. Több nagyon neves prémium szállodában voltunk Skóciában, de ez a hely volt az, amire gondolkodás nélkül mondom, hogy a legjobban tetszett nekünk.

Sajnos csak 1 éjszakára volt lehetőségünk megszállni, de biztosak vagyunk abban, hogy szeretnénk hosszabb időre visszajönni!

Cons:

Picit sokat kellett várni a vacsoránál, de igazából ez nem volt gond, csak meglepően hosszú idő. Az előétel után kb. 1:10 perccel kaptuk meg a főételt.

A safe haven for people looking for quiet luxury and beauty all around…
Pros:

Absolutely everything ! Newhall Mains has become one of our favorite places on earth ❤️ We felt instantly home! The peace and quiet, the kindness of the staff (we knew all of their names after just 2 days), the breathtaking breakfast and dinners at the restaurant Spruce, the stunning nature all around, the lovely cows or should I say coos? 😉 We really hope to come back soon!!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing :)

Luxurious property with the bonus of an upgrade
Pros:

We had a very pleasant one night stay. We were given a room upgrade to a lovely duplex 'cottage' unit with a separate living room, kitchen and dressing room. It was great to be able to spread out as we were on a long trip and had quite a few bags and other luggage with us. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The property was a bit quiet, with just a few guests at breakfast and dinner. Beautifully finished and decorated - though maybe not 100% to my taste, with some original/interesting art. I'm sure that we'd have enjoyed the activities in the area, but we were just passing through.

Cons:

I'd say that for the price - more expensive than properties we would usually book - the food could have been better. It was fine, just nothing special. The property was also a bit hard to find when we missed the turning the first time and our sat nav took us to what looked to be a rear entrance but was actually a private property. We'd have liked to be able to park our car right outside the unit but the walk to the parking was manageable.

Great luxury farm stay if the black isle is the preference
Pros:

Beautiful interior design. Rooms are thoughtful with attention to detail. The reception staff weren’t particularly knowledgeable very helpful

Cons:

Had high expectations for dinner at the restaurant. The waiting staff during our dinner service wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about the menu or ingredients and the food nor staff met our standards. The restaurant itself was beautiful, the barman was lovely and he was still learning about whiskeys (which we hoped for a bit more experience).
