"The restaurant is situated within the Darroch Learg Hotel and offers an upscale dining experience with outstanding staff. The ambiance is pleasant and the views are lovely. We ordered the filet, trout, and salmon, and I must say, this place is a must-visit. It was undoubtedly the best dinner we had in Scotland. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender and juicy. The chips (fries) were incredible as well. There was truly nothing to complain about; from the atmosphere and attentive staff to the exquisite food, everything was executed flawlessly. I can't emphasize enough how exceptional the steak was. I've had A5 Wagyu beef, and I can confidently say that the steak here measured up to that quality. Lastly, the dessert—a crème brûlée made with Tahitian vanilla—was outstanding. You could even see the specks of vanilla from the pod. Overall, this was by far the best restaurant we have visited so far in Scotland. Highly recommended for both food and drinks!"

Elegant dining experience with many courses to mix and match. Filet steak was not as tender as I'm used to in North America but very full of flavor and delicious. Trout, bisque, and salmon were stand out options. As well as desert. Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Romantic, Quiet

This is just for dinner at the restaurant in early August; we did not stay there. It is too bad that Google does not give separate review options for hotels with good restaurants. The restaurant was really great. Food was excellent. The setting, in a glass-enclosed room, was very nice. Service was good. View menu

What an incredible hotel—truly a hidden gem! We celebrated my friend's birthday during our weekend visit from London and stayed for one night. The food was outstanding, and the rooms were clean and cozy, all beautifully decorated throughout. The staff were very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to visit again. Rooms: 5, Service: 5, Location: 5.

Absolutely the best! Fiona and Nigel have curated a fantastic home that is not only wonderful to stay in, but a dining experience like none other. Across 2 nights we ate some of the best steaks I have ever had in my life. All in this little home. You HAVE to eat here. While you're at it, enjoy their kickass bar with a wonderful selection of beers and spirits. Stay here too. Forever. Rooms: Small but exceptional. En suite bathroom with separate shower and bathtub. Food drinks: The food rivaled some of the best I've ever had in my life. Fantastic chefs!
