Perfect Social Spaces:
Whip up gourmet meals in our spacious, modern kitchen before gathering around the grand dining table for unforgettable celebrations. The space flows seamlessly for effortless entertaining, but we can also arrange a catered stay if you would prefer. After dinner, unwind in the grand drawing room by the crackling open fire or lose yourself in the incredible view of the Vale of Strathmore from the panoramic curved bay window. It's the perfect setting for intimate conversations and quality time with your friends and loved ones. The separate 'Snug', TV and games room, is cosy and inviting with a woodburning stove and a plush emerald green velvet sofa. This room has personality and grandeur too, thanks to the lovely, traditional fireplace, adorned with antique books, and an heirloom bookshelf offering a carefully curated selection of books and classic board games.

Exploring the Outdoors
Guests enjoy a large enclosed garden with traditional pergola, outdoor seating, tables and Kadai firepit/BBQ. The view from the garden is refreshing, but you can explore further afield on our 800 acre private Highland estate with your children and furry friends too. We offer outdoor experiences including a 'farm wildlife safari trailer tour' and a picnic with a Scottish Highland Pony carrying your picnic in the traditional wicker panniers of working estate ponies. Our family-run business has been farming and breeding Highland Ponies for more than 3 generations and we have won awards for our nature conservation projects, which we'd love to tell you about.
