Beautiful Thistle House

We had an absolutely lovely stay at this beautiful B &B . Sue greeted us very warmly on our arrival and was so helpful setting us up and making us feel so welcome . She even arranged dinner for us at a nearby restaurant , which was amazing as well . The house itself is so very charming . Every room nicer than the last . Breakfast was done perfectly , with a very nice selection .
Brenda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Sue and Avril really made our stay pleasant. From the moment I had contact with Sue (requesting another night stay) to dinner reservations and afternoon tea when we arrived, she was constantly engaged with us and making our stay at her beautiful Thistle House warm and welcoming. Breakfast in the morning was fabulous and held us on our daily hikes. Avril was always willing to stay and have a lovely conversation about the wonderful breakfast, adorable chickens out back or just the beauty of Scotland. Wow! Such a fabulous place to unwind. We definitely would stay again. Thank you!
