"My wife and I have just spent the two most comfortable nights as guests of Disblair House Hotel.
Seeking accommodation close to a an event venue where friends were hosting their daughter's wedding reception (Barra Castle), I discovered Disblair House. Communication from the outset was faultless (thank you Karolyn). We dropped off our bags enroute to the reception, being welcomed by both Karolyn and Chris, then made our way to Barra Castle.
Comfort: Our room (No. 3) was beautifully prepared, as was the large ensuite shower room. The bed was comfortable, as were the armchairs, and the complimentary Taylor's Coffee Bags a lovely treat, with the Walker's shortbread.
Cooking: A wonderful 'Full Scottish' cooked breakfast was our choice each morning. Everything cooked to perfection, and the tomato? - well 6 cherry tomatoes, cooked just right, on the vine, was a first for me as part of a cooked breakfast. Delicious!
Improvements? Well, as I did say to Chris - the only even slightly negative comment I could make was my preference for salted butter over unsalted. :-). Perhaps I would also say that a particularly close to the ground sports car might find the access road a challenge.
Overall: Karolyn and Chris are wonderfully welcoming hosts. I cannot recommend Disblair House highly enough, and their invitation to drop in and see them for a coffee if even just passing through on some future occasion is a measure of the warmth and welcome found there.
