The manor home was all and more than we expected- spacious yet friendly, comfortable and complete with everything you would need. We loved the large dining area for a birthday party, the great room for games and the many bedrooms and bathrooms for a good nights sleep. The house is also conveniently located to visit places like the Isle of Skye, Glen Affric and northern Scotland.

It was a perfect location and venue for the celebration we were having and all of our guests loved it. Booking arrangements were easy and a couple of last minute issues were resolved very well. Overall, a fantastic stay with so much to do and enjoy in the surrounding area. Weâd love to come back and so would many of our friends who joined us during the week.
