Roman Camp Country House Hotel

This is the leading hotel in town. Once a 17th-century hunting lodge with pink walls and small gray-roofed towers, it was built on the site of a Roman camp. Today you drive up a 182m (597-ft.) driveway, with shaggy Highland cattle and sheep grazing on either side. Inside, owners Eric and Marion Brown welcome you into a gracious country house. The dining room was converted from the old kitchen in the 1930s. The ceiling design is based on Scottish painted ceilings of the 16th and 17th centuries. The library, with its ornate plasterwork and richly grained paneling, is an elegant holdover from yesteryear.

Seven of the comfortable guest rooms are on the ground floor. Some rooms are furnished with bed-head crowns, gilt-framed mirrors, and stenciled furnishings; a few have four-posters, and others are contemporary with blond-wood pieces. Suites have separate sitting areas.
