The cooking is Scottish to the core, with produce like Skye langoustine and Perthshire mallard used in dishes with nothing superfluous on the plate. Add in the rooms and chatty service and you have a perfect base for exploring the H

Comfortable boutique bedrooms are available, making a glass of single malt whisky in the cosy bar all the more appealing.
