- Rene (9/5): A wonderful stay that became one of the highlights of our Scotland trip - By coincidence we ended up at The Shandwick, and it became one of the top discoveries of our Scotland trip. We had a spacious room with wonderfully comfortable chairs to relax in, a great bed and an excellent shower. In the morning we enjoyed a generous breakfast, all taken care of by a cheerful and friendly host, right in the centre of town. There was nothing left to wish for.
- Carolyn (10/5): Warm, welcoming overnight stop - A lovely comfortable room with everything we needed. Friendly, welcoming host, provided lots of useful local information. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. A perfect overnight stop Nothing, it was great
