10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed hanging out in the lounge -- and a delicious dinner in the restaurant. We stayed one night en route to Balmoral. We also did the Persie Gin Distillery tour and tasting which was nearby - and we would not have known about it but for the Dalmunzie website. Their site includes lots of helpful info about the area"
