Such a gorgeous, peaceful setting. Location was perfect for us as we were visiting the Heartland Festival nearby, and ideally placed for the theatre which we intend to do on a future trip. Rooms were lovely and the bed very comfortable. Staff were amazing - can't wait to return :)

A Great Wee Find!
This was our first stay here and what a lovely discovery it was! The room was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served in gorgeous surroundings, which really made the morning special. The location is fantastic — set by the river and theatre, with plenty of beautiful walks right on the doorstep. The staff were so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break in a stunning setting.
