Wonderful Stay and Great Food

really good locationwell trained staffperfect venisongorgeous grounds
The location was really good. The restaurant and chef received high praise. Servers were informative. The venison was prepared perfectly. The tagliatelle was also excellent. Breakfast mirrored the dinner elegance. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable too. I enjoyed sitting outside near the water. The grounds were gorgeous and well kept.
The building had some ongoing repair work . I noticed scaffolding. I also smelled fresh paint in some areas of the hotel. This was only a very minor issue.

The hotel sits next to the Beauly Firth and it is in a wonderful setting. It is a quiet hotel directly on the water. I appreciated the proximity to the water and the no noise around. We enjoyed the location.

The hotel sits on extensive grounds. I found beautiful gardens and forest walks. Breakfast and dinner were AMAZING!!!
The WiFi reception was poor. The toilet flush button required multiple pushes to work. The bar was not consistently staffed. I had to wait to get drinks on several occasions.
