Notes:
Kilts for both ladies and gentlemen, both traditional and contemporary, may be ordered in advance. Although dinners are relaxed affairs, it can be fun to dress up too!
Because we aim not to use hotels we have the freedom to provide a very high standard of food and drink which can be tailored to suit our guests' culinary wishes.
We were left speechless by the rooms and the level of service. Absolutely everything you could possibly need had been thought of and more. Our caddy was very helpful and assisted with all sorts of things. This is just one example of all the little things that made our weekend just perfect.
