Totally loved our stay

What a lovely hotel! Staff very friendly and professional, meals were amazing! Cleanliness of high standard. Gardens so well kept. We are so glad we found this hotel and certainly will be back!
Brian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Carefullly decorated rooms. The Manse is in a beautiful location with access to walking hikes throughout, including the Blair Castle. Breakfast was very good and in a beautiful glass room. Our room was one of several in a row in the “enclosed garden”, named after tree species. Although very pretty, I’m not a fan of the type of linear structure, and felt the walls were a bit thin as we could hear our neighbors easily (snoring, talking) We were exhausted at the end of the day and it didn’t interfere with our sleep.
Stewart, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The issue I had was that hotels.com charged me a 100 pounds more than the hotel said my bill was but I had already paid on line. I won’t be using hotels.com again.
Bridget, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful historic property that has been thoughtfully updated with clean, stylish rooms and a world class restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful and the owner checked in at dinner to make sure we had everything we needed!

Idilic Retreat in Cairngorm National Park

We stayed for 1 night DB&B mid-week having seen the hotel on a Scottish TV programme. We were not disappointed, the setting is lovely, all the staff and family very friendly so it almost feels like home from home. There is an extensive gin and whisky drinks selection, and the food is simply wonderful. Good choice and beautifully prepared by their renowned chef. We enjoy fine dining regularly and we will be back with foodie friends. We had chosen to stay in a Garden Room rather than in the main building and it was immaculate. Imaginatively decorated like the rest of the hotel in a contemporary Scottish style without the need for yards of tartan yet still very in keeping. We were lucky with the weather and were able to sit outside our room in the evening taking in the tranquillity and view. We will be back!
Allan, 1-night trip

It’s a beautiful property and some of the staff were excellent.

Lovely relaxing stay

We recently stayed here for the first time and it won’t be our last! The staff were so lovely and attentive, they made us feel so welcome and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The evening meal and breakfast were both absolutely delicious. The building itself is so beautiful and we could easily have sat by the fire all day and night. I’d highly recommend a visit here.

Food and service was wonderful. Walled garden rooms are very small for longer than single night stays

Incredible evening at the Old Manse of Blair

Spent an incredible evening at the Old Manse of Blair. The owner was attentive and went out of his way to make my girlfriend and me feel welcome. Dinner was fantastic and the service from the waitress was top notch. The "design room" was a bit small but very comfy bed and modern design.
