We were spoiled with an excellent variety of dishes, and I was impressed with the quality and presentation - it felt like I was dining in a fine restaurant! One night, I even asked for a recipe from a good starter I enjoyed very much. The attentive service made every meal a pleasure.” view full review

Powerful Renovated Showers

“The bathroom was a standout feature of my stay. The newly renovated shower had fantastic water pressure that left me feeling refreshed after a long day of exploring. It was a joy to wash up with the high-quality Scottish soaps provided - such a nice touch! I appreciated how clean and well-maintained everything was.” view full review

Comfy and Cozy Rooms

The bed and pillows were among the comfiest I've experienced, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a busy day. Even with the warm climate, the air conditioning fan helped keep the room pleasant. Overall, it was the perfect retreat where I felt right at home.” view full review
