Frommer's Review
This pink-sandstone hotel was built around 1895 as the home of a local family. Its name (trigony) derives from the shape of the acreage, which is almost a perfect isosceles triangle. Today, it contains a handful of comfortable but unpretentious high-ceilinged guest rooms, each opening onto countryside views. Adam (the chef of the hotel's restaurant) and Jan Moore are your hosts and will tell you all about the building's occupant during the 1930s: Frances Shakerley. She lived to be 107 and was widely known as the oldest woman in Scotland.
The hotel operates a busy pub and a dinner-only restaurant. Drop into the pub for affordable platters of simple food at lunch or dinner. Meals may include filet of sea bass with a light fennel and white-wine sauce, or loin of Tamworth pork braised with white wine and mushrooms.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar
