About this Hotel

Indulge in unparalleled comfort within the boutique bedrooms, each one a sanctuary of its own. 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 en-suite bathrooms stocked with Laura Thomas spa products and plush amenities, including fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers. For the ultimate relaxation, yoga mats are also provided. Additionally, enjoy a selection of award-winning Novus teas, and indulge in the convenience of an OPAL capsule coffee machine stocked with Coffee Conscience compostable coffee pods, ensuring a delightful start to your day.

From spring 2024 onwards, guests will be able to dine in style at Bonnar’s, where the legacy of Thomas Bonnar comes to life amidst floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking their private garden. Savour a culinary journey produced by the Executive Chef, who is inspired by Scottish flavours that are impeccably presented in a setting that reflects the elegance of the 18th-century baronial house.

After a day of exploring, unwind in the Velvet Lounge, where specialty Gins, Champagnes and Whiskies await. Let the curated wine list, selected by l’Art Du Vin, elevate your senses as you soak in the ambience of the meticulously restored lounge, brimming with original features and character.
