- "Amazing views from elevated position above the town. Dual aspect bedroom with third view of Ben Vrackie from bathroom. Tastefully decorated with interesting paintings and period features retained. Calm ambience in lounge and dining rooms. Food outstanding and way superior to description on booking.com." - "The attention to detail and the way the house was brought back to life while maintaining all its characteristics was truly enjoyable. The dinner at the restaurant is part of the experience. We wish we could have stayed more. Out of all the hotels we’ve used during our holiday in Scotland (same price rage), this was the best."

- "The location was perfect for us as we had a spa day booked at Fonab Castle. We loved everything about our suite, especially the bed, easily the comfiest and best nights sleep I've had in months! Gary was brilliant, from honouring our request, his pre-arrival call, to his lovely welcome and local knowledge - what a lovely guy! Me and my partner both work in F&B so we loved that it's a pre-order system for brekky to save on food waste. The lounge area is free to use for guests at their leisure and you even get complimentary whisky - what an incredible touch. Also a wee mention to the lovely girls serving breakfast in the morning, they were great. All in all, we can't fault our stay and we are so excited to go back later in the year! 😊"
