Our room still has some original wood paneling and antique furnitures. It's like living in the past. We hiked the Varrich Castle ruins. The restaurant food is okay nothing spectacular. There was a complimentary sherry our room. I do recommend this place.

What a lovely destination hotel/restaurant this is. First impressions count for a lot and the…read morefirst impressions here are first class. We arrived, on a overcast September day looking forward to hunkering down for the afternoon. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and after we were shown to our room were served with complimentary tea and cake in the hotel's conservatory. It was just what we were after and the cake was delicious which boded well for our meal at the hotel's Michelin starred restaurant (our primary reason for the visit) later. Non-residents can dine here too but it is much more pleasant to be able to stagger off to bed rather than mess around with taxis etc. Our room was perfectly pleasant and clean but not the reason to visit. That was to come at dinner. We assembled in the conservatory for pre-dinner drinks and the set-menu was explained to us. Dietary requirements had been taken when we arrived so there were no unpleasant surprises waiting for us. Then followed a huge single langoustine as a pre-dinner snack. It was exceptionally good, tasting as if it had been farmed the same day. The dinner was similarly successful with the stand out dish being a beautifully roasted piece of roe deer with candied beetroot among the accompaniments. The following morning we were treated to a beautifully cooked Scottish breakfast before heading out into the hills and repeating the same experience all over again until our stay came to an end.

4.5 Stars for the bar/drinks (we neither ate nor stayed here)…read more The bartenders were both very friendly. Also, they serve real sized drinks here: pouring 35ml of whiskey (unlike so many other places in the UK that pour a paltry 25ml). Also, they not only had a great selection of whiskeys from which to choose, but they also had some recommended whiskey lists which did not disappoint (the Glen Scotia 15 and the Benromach 15 were both big hits with my tastebuds). I am only deducting 1/2 a star for the ambience, because it is nothing special. But, if you want something nice to sip on, and some friendly bartenders to engage with, make your way to Ceilidh Place.
