Everything was perfectly organised, absolutely courteous staff, spectacular views of the ocean and the gardens. We booked neat and tastefully decorated room. We got a bath too. It was in a remote setting by ferry to Scotland. Further, it was short walk to the main tourist area, the castle by Andreas, an assistant manager who is extremely charming and the Ballantrae beach.
