“This family-run manor house presents a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, felt from the initial greeting to the comfortable, well-appointed rooms. The grounds are a real highlight, offering serene walks and delightful birdwatching from the cafe. Breakfasts here are a must; the full Scottish is hearty and excellent value, while the home-baked cakes are simply superb.”
