This hotel is an utterly exceptional find. The manager is possibly the most professional we have ever known. Lying up one of the most beautiful valleys in Scotland, the wonderfully peaceful atmosphere is broken only by birdsong and the gentle bleating of lambs. It is just yards from the oldest tree in Europe (a beautiful yew) and possibly the world. The enchanting village church is immediately opposite. Our substantial Scottish breakfast was delicious. The entire property was appropriately and tastefully, rather than trendily, decorated - but if you are seeking glitz and bling then do keep looking. The staff were, however, the highlight of our stay and could not have been more charming, accommodating or welcoming. At weekends, an informal gathering of local musicians often takes place in The Ewe bar and we were treated to some jolly, emotive and world-class music. All were welcome to join in; with or without instruments. It is well worth adjusting one’s route northwards to allow for a stay here. It you are either new to or a seasoned fan of Scotland, then you need venture no further.
