undercooked beef salty splodge

The food did not match the beautiful grounds I was on. I have to point out a dish I found concerning. The beef main course cost me £42 for four thin slices of slightly undercooked beef. There was also a salty black garlic splodge, that overpowered everything. It was like a rip-off.

really good rural retreat

private runway electric bikes lovely food

i landed our light aircraft on their meticulously maintained private grass runway , it was seamless. i also utilized the complimentary electric bikes for local exploration. the accommodation was superb , the food was lovely , and i thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

i encountered a minor issue . the beef main course, though visually appealing, did not fully meet expectations. the black garlic element was overpowering , the meat preparation could have been more precise , and the absence of starch was noticeable.

cozy fireplace scenic coast

the cottage was beautifully designed with thoughtful touches.. the fireplace made our evenings cozy, and we felt at home. the hotel provided e-bikes, and i loved cycling along the coast, exploring nearby cromarty, such a perfect adventure for us.

the cooked breakfast was not available. i would have really appreciated that option. a little sad, but it did not ruin our stay.
