Established in 1972, the quality of this establishment has been recognised by having a place in the Best Bed and Breakfast Guide and The Good Britain Guide. We have also achieved 3 star gradings in both the AA and Scottish Tourist Board schemes.

The whole ambience in the house is relaxed and is designed to make guests feel at home. The hall with its curved stairs and lovely cherry banister is enhanced by a display of original paintings and Margaret's needlework.

The farmhouse has probably been in existence since the early 17th century and was partially rebuilt in 1872. With its yellow pine woodwork and antique furniture, the farmhouse is a delightful home offering a warm welcome and personal service. Tea/coffee and home baking are served on arrival in the lounge with its Victorian style fireplace and log fire. Our area caters for a wide variety of interests and we have folders packed full of information on what to see and do during your stay.
