Pros: We had an excellent stay. Staff were very welcoming and friendly without being overpowering. Beautiful surroundings. Lacked a little bit in atmosphere but that was possibly due to the time of year. (Early April) Food was excellent however, we would have enjoyed a fine dining option. The only criticism (and it’s not really a criticism more of a personal preference), I would say is, that the hotel in general was far too hot. Heating could be turned down to a slightly lower temperature. Room was far too hot on arrival and took quite a while to cool down.

Hotel 1881 a hidden gem in a tiny village.

Es wahr einfach toll.

Pros: Es wahr alles zu unserer vollen Zufriedenheit. Das Frühstück wahr hervorragend. Da die Küche krankheitshalber nicht betrieben werden konnte wurde kostenlos ein Shuttlebus zum Schwesternhotel zur Verfügung gestellt. Es hatte tolle Whiskys an der Bar.

Pros: The service was excellent. They were very knowledgeable of the area and gave us some recommendations of things to see. The food and atmosphere we excellent as well.

Cons: There was no air conditioning. Granted, this area of Scotland isn’t known for the temperatures we had, but purchasing small room air conditioners isn’t an expensive purchase.

Phantastische Kombination aus einer hervorragenden Unterkunft mit wunderbar herzlichem Personal.

Pros: Phantastische Mischung aus traditionellem Gebäude mit behutsamer Modernisierung, ohne den Charme zu verlieren. Alles super hochwertig ausgestattet - aber eben mit Charme !
