We had a wonderful, relaxing getaway at your secluded resort.

We loved the incredible mountain views and comfortable bedding. The daily breakfast was so lovely—Phillippa is a warm and welcoming hostess and a great cook. The property is a beautiful, secluded escape that serves as a great home base for exploring the Highlands area. Special thanks to the owners as well for making us a delicious dinner on our first night! Sorry we were confused based on the automated enhancements email and thought we could order dinner. You went above and beyond to honor it!
