“The surrounding hill views from all rooms are quite something, and the extensive beer and whisky selection in the bar promises a well-earned repose after a day exploring the highlands. Dinner is a highlight, with dishes like venison casserole and poached plums showcasing a kitchen that clearly takes pride in its hearty, well-executed fare.”
