Hotel owner Euan is a pilot and has his own small plane. Fancy a unique, spectacular experience? Then be sure to go for for a panoramic flight over the Scottish Highlands. You will take off and land on a specially constructed runway on the hotel grounds, an experience to remember.
The rooms are spacious, bright and decorated with respect for authentic elements. They are all equipped with cosmetics from the luxurious Aromatherapy Associates. Each of the cottages feature a cosy wood-burning stove.
All rooms and cottages are unique, so it's hard to pick just one. In the Red Gates cottage, built in the former carriage house of the manor, you'll enjoy a large open living space.

There is no spa at the hotel, but the scenery here is so beautiful that you will hardly want to be inside.
