A really personal and discreet place to stay with history and charm. Every member of staff were happy, cheerful, helpful and courteous. A credit to the team. A great welcome on arrival, our room, the Minister's Study had a feeling of warmth and history, well equipped for our needs. With quality amenities, quality iron and ironing board and a quality unfixed hairdryer. Pre drinks in the drawing room was comfortable with log fire then beautiful tasty meal in the Orangery. The gardens were beautifully kept and even the Highland Cows were friendly! A wonderful stay and would recommend.

The grounds were absolutely gorgeous - and it was a nice bonus that there was a horse, a mini pony, and a few Highland cows right on the property. We had dinner at the Orangery restaurant and it was incredible, the best food I had in Scotland.

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.

We can’t say enough good things about our two night stay. Staff were so incredibly welcoming, kind and thoughtful. We had dinner the first night and wished we could have done the second too but had theatre tickets. Food was 5* both in flavour and presentation. We had the pleasure of meeting Ann the owner over dinner and the chef that evening , Charlie. Post dinner we sat by the fire where front of house immediately added more firewood. We also had the pleasure of meeting Angus, Ann’s son who was a funny and helpful young man. I am thrilled that this is where we started our trip.

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!

Lovely hotel in a beautiful part of the country. Check-in was a little odd, but we quickly got our keys, and checked into our lovely room. It was clean; well furnished, and the bathroom was a great size. We appreciated having a little outdoor space to sit as well. We enjoyed a glass of wine in front of the lovely main house in the sunshine. Small niggles - there’s no fridge in the room, our bathroom (the aspen) has some water damage on the ceiling, and the tv wouldn’t connect to the hotel WiFi. All pretty minor, but worth noting given the price point of the room.

The only let down was really the bathroom as it is more of a wet room, everything gets wet so if you are sharing the room/bathroom with someone else it is an issue. Plus the tiles that were used in the wet room should have been none slip. It is a lovely hotel, but i don't think the bathroom plan was thought through.

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.

There were several things about this property that made us unhappy. The marketing pictures and information on Expedia showed a king bed, a couch, and windows in the room. However, we received a twin/double bed, no windows at all, and no couch. When we asked the property, we were told “it was an upgrade since it is a historic property and we would be closer to the parking”. Even if this were the case, weren’t we supposed to be asked about this?? To add to this, there’s a train track literally on the roof and trains going by frequently when the whole room vibrates literally; the room was super hot; and the service was average at best. The only good part about this property is the area around which is pretty. But that doesn’t justify the price. Please avoid this place, and do yourself a favor.

The Old Manse of Blair was fantastic! For starters, we missed our flight into Glasgow and had to drive in from Edinburgh. We contacted the host and he was willing to stay late, beyond regular check in hours, for us to arrive. We stayed in one of the outbuildings. It was beautiful and comfortable. Eat breakfast at the Manse. It was fresh and delicious. And honestly, those cows- they are so cute! I would definitely stay here again.
