Dining & Accommodation Tariffs

DINING (see sample menus)

Susan is an experienced and innovative chef, and prides herself in the provision of the best that the area offers.

Breakfast - In addition to the traditional Scottish Breakfast, we offer a selection of freshly squeezed juices, compotes of seasonal fruits with home made marmalade, local honey and preserves. We also offer a selection of smoked fish from the Moray Coast, or how about starting the day with creamy, smoked salmon scrambled eggs?

Continental Breakfast - An early start for a long day in the hills? Should you wish, we would be happy to provide a breakfast of rolls, ham, salamis, cheese, preserves and fruit etc., to eat or take away.

Dinner - Dinner can be as informal as you wish, and available every evening. Why not enjoy dining at the grand table, in the warm candlelit inviting dining room, with crisp white linen and antique silver cutlery?

Menus change daily. If there are any special dietary requirements, or even the request of a special favourite, a chat with Susan will result in the menu being tailored to your needs. Dinner costs £24 per person for three courses, with coffee and sweetmeats served later in the lounge.

Accommodation & Tariff Four unique and individual bedrooms, two doubles and a twin en-suite are available at £26 per person per night or £30 per night for single occupancy.

The fourth bedroom is a twin without private facilities and is available at £20 per person per night or £24 per night for single occupancy.

Prices are for bed & breakfast.

Group prices are by negotiation, and will depend on the number in the party and the length of stay.

Facilities The house has off road parking and the opportunity for the guests to make use of and enjoy the garden if they wish. Dogs are welcome in the adjacent cottage, (see cottages) but sadly can not be accommodated in the house, due to the occupation of our own Scottie dog!

Residents have access to a large outbuilding to the rear where there is ample space for storage of bikes and equipment, along with horizontal racks for fishing rods. We are happy to assist with drying facilities and for the successful, access to freezing facilities for their catch!
