“Sleeping in what feels like a Scottish Baronial-style manor offers a unique experience. The staff's attentiveness is commendable, though the food presentation may not appeal to all palates. While small details need some improvement-like wardrobe space and dining area upkeep-the potential for a truly special stay shines through.”
