The Croft Room takes its cue from a traditional Scottish croft house. A hand-painted double alcove bed sits at the centre of the approximately 19-square-meter room. Tweed curtains and tartan throws surround the sleeping space.

The bed is roomy for one person and snug for two. Each has been painted by an artist. Designs include mountain scenes and Highland cattle, depending on the room, bringing local landscape and rural life into the decoration.

An en suite rain shower serves the room. Coffee and tea facilities, a minibar and a safe cover the practical essentials. You also have Wi-Fi during your stay.

Although the category can sleep one or two, the permitted guest count depends on the selected rate.

Natural materials and Scottish verse shape the Nature and Poetry Room. It measures about 24 square meters and has a queen bed for up to two guests. Each room takes its own approach to the writers and landscapes of the Highlands.
