The Dower House is undoubtedly a beautiful place to stay and is set in the most glorious gardens. We had an evening meal there and the food was very good, although expensive considering there was no choice. So why the disappointment? A feeling that the hospitality was measured to the penny. Maybe we were just unlucky on the day, but of all the places we stayed in on our trip, this was the only one we left feeling somewhat exploited,

We had three extraordinary dinners served to us by the great family that own and run the hotel. We had some of the best food I can remember. This plus very attentive and yet sensitive service made this a great place to visit.

Once again the Michelin Guide has not let us down. From the moment of reservation to the sad time of having to leave this has been like an extension to our family [only the food was better!]. Mena and Robyn Aitchison are the consummate hosts and our time with them will be treasured as will the memories of outstanding food, the warmest of welcomes and a house and grounds to die for.
If you are going to Scotland - go to the Dower House.

We stayed there for two nights and enjoyed our stay. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. Dont expect a shower! It is a bath and you manually add a small shower head. It is also not possible to stand while showering.
When we arrived we got tea and were asked if we like to have dinner that night. We said yes without having seen the prices and the proper menu. The next morning we had breakfast which was nice.
The big surprise was when we received the bill and realised that dinner was £42 per person (drinks extra) and that two teas were £7. Dinner was nice but completely over charged for what it was. Chicken fennel soup, small piece of halibut with vegis and pineapple with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Far too expensive for a b&b in Scotland. Prices should be communicated!
