This is by far my favorite stay out of my 3 weeks in Scotland. The staff was incredible and so helpful. The food was amazing. The BED was too comfortable. I started my days later than expected because I wanted to stay in my room a little bit longer. I will be coming back to the highlands and I will rebook this diamond location.
