With no two rooms alike, you will discover 37 rooms that seamlessly blend modern amenities with the historic charm of the original building. Sink into Elite™ Lily mattresses draped with the finest linens, and pamper yourself in exquisitely designed private bathrooms stocked with Laura Thomas spa products and plush amenities, including fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers.

Savor a culinary journey produced by our Head Chef, Pier Berretta, who is inspired by Scottish flavors that are impeccably presented in a setting that reflects the elegance of the 18th-century baronial house. After a day of exploration, unwind in the Velvet Lounge, where specialty Gins, Champagnes and Whiskeys await.

Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great room, very comfy beds and the extra amenities were great. To be able to grab fruits, biscuits, tea and (great) coffee whenever you wish is not something I've encountered before and a lovely extra.
Negative: It's roughly a 20-25 minute walk to the city centre. Not awful and quite doable if you're able, but not the most central stay.
Summary: Exceeded expectations, amazing hospitality and amenities.
