I didn't want to leave!
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.

Lovely
Lovely stay, excellent dinner. Falls of Bruar nearby well worth a look. A couple of little things that I'd mark down 1/2pt for though: £7.50 (before service charge) for a bottle of water is a lot - its not Ibiza! And an 18% service charge is a bit presumptuous - its not New York either! I'm happy to splash out on great hotels and restaurants but I don't like being nickel-and-dimed at every turn. Some feedback to Hotels.com - it could've been made clearer that breakfast was not included in our booking. It would have actually been less expensive if we booked direct.

Having seen the owner respond in a passive aggressive way to any negative reviews I am a little reluctant to share my thoughts! However I rely on reviews when choosing a place to stay. The Old Manse of Blair is in a beautiful setting - the old house is stunning and the new annexes are in great condition. The staff are friendly (if a little too formal for our taste). Why the average score? For me, this property just didn’t hit the mark at the level of luxury country boutique they are striving for. It’s a perfectly comfortable place - and at a lower per night rate my review would be different - but at current rates it just doesn’t hit the mark. It’s the minor details, and as always this will be highly subjective; the details for include: 1. There are no day curtains in the annexe rooms. This means that in the morning, you can choose to lie in bed in the dark (with the curtains closed) or have them open and anyone walking past can see in…. 2. Showers would benefit from a shelf of some sort to put toiletries on (rather than the floor). 3. Fake flower decorations in dining room. Should more handmade / bespoke like the feather mirror. 4. The food is not up to the prices. Nicely presented for sure - but lacks flavour / seasoning. Breakfast in particular was poor quality. I know all of this is minor (aside from food). There are other little niggles - but we don’t have room to include! This place has huge potential. I hope owners take feedback in spirit intended).

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.
