Guest Accommodation

We have a choice of five bedrooms and two suites on offer.

Five of these bedrooms are located in our recently converted, yet still very traditional, old stone byre, which in Scotland is referred to as ‘ The Steading’ - the rooms in the steading have been awarded FOUR STARS by VisitScotland.

In addition to the above bedrooms, we also have two luxurious Suites on offer - our newly completed, Authentic Finnish Log Cabin Suite and our superb Bed of Roses themed Suite (available from May 2008). Both of these suites have been created for a romantic break; special occasion (honeymoon, silver wedding anniversary; 40th Birthday) or simply to experience something different and to enjoy that extra touch of luxury. Our Log Cabin Suite has been awarded FIVE STARS by the AA.

The Authentic Finnish Log Cabin Suite - luxury Double
We are all romantics at heart - and that is why we think that you will love this suite. If you are looking for somewhere special to take someone special, then you will love this log cabin.

We also have a reduced tariff for children which depends on their age and whether they share their parents room or require a room of their own.

We are able to provide, free of charge, a travel cot for children under the age of two years. Please feel free to bring your own cot blankets with you, otherwise we are able to provide them at a cost of £4.00 per stay.

If you would like to make your stay here with us extra special, then, we would only be too happy to arrange to have flowers, champagne and chocolates waiting for you on your arrival. Please discuss this with us at the time of booking.

Previous guests will know that we used to provide complimentary afternoon tea at 4.30 p.m. on the day of their arrival. However, after much consideration, we have decided to change things slightly ! With so many guests unable to be here by this time, we have instead decided to offer a much wider range of luxury ‘in bedroom’ drinks and biscuit selection - a service that everyone can benefit from - we hope you understand !
