Frommer's Review

It was voted Country House Hotel of the Year in a "Taste of Scotland" contest in 1998, and if anything, it's better than ever. Reputedly the island's oldest house, it's certainly the most scenically located. Perhaps it was once a stamping ground for Robert the Bruce, and reports even exist of a resident ghost. A tasteful combination of the new and antique is used throughout. The guest rooms are beautiful, as are the bathrooms, which offer luxury toiletries. Some rooms have four-poster beds and Jacuzzi tubs. The aura of gentility is reflected in the log fires and the fresh flowers from the garden. A suite and two other rooms, all with private entrances, are located in a converted 18th-century stable a few yards from the main building. The staff is helpful and welcoming.

The food is also noteworthy, made with local produce whenever possible. International dishes are featured, and fine wines and an attention to detail go into the expensive fixed-price menus.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; room service; nonsmoking rooms
