Old Manse of Craggan

“The best stay - a fantastic experience 10/10”

Everything was excellent. The location and the hosts were outstanding. They honestly couldn’t do more for you. Every detail was considered and decorated to a high standard. The welcome drinks were lovely too. Breakfast was exceptional—far better than most hotels.

“A true Boutique house of the highlands full of love and care at every opportunity.”

Piotr and Aleksandra are phenomenal hosts and the Old Manse of Craggan is a true gem of Scotland. You can tell every last bit of love and care went into restoring this wonderful Manse. Antique and vintage mix with modern luxury; the hosts have perfected this spicy combo, truly living up to the name Boutique House. The bathroom was spacious, warm, and luxurious, as were the fireplaces around the manse. The four‑poster bed was welcoming, and the weighted duvet added to the cozy highlands feel. The grounds are stunning, with the River Avon a short walk away. Breakfast was full of love and care; every meal was 10/10, generous portions, and the continental selection was plentiful, most of which was locally sourced. The food was incredibly tasty, snazzy, and filling, setting you up for the day ahead. This was something that caught our eye while searching for accommodation; the website looked fantastic, but the real deal was far beyond that! Piotr’s love for coffee didn’t let us down with the incredible flavors he brewed for us. We also opted for the pack lunches; we 100% didn’t regret this decision. I can’t stress enough the care and love that goes into all the food prepared at The Old Manse of Craggan, even to the point of discussing preferences beforehand to ensure they can cater to your needs and expectations. Being vegetarian, it can be hard to get this right, but the hosts prevailed with their knowledge of foods. Meat eaters don’t fret; there were plenty of Scottish delicacies available, and the hosts know the best local restaurants you can visit if needed. Both hosts were incredibly knowledgeable about local history and places to visit, generous, courteous, and genuinely lovely people. We will book again very soon. No negatives.

The location is very quiet with a great view of the valley and river. The views are absolutely amazing, and there are plenty of spots to sit outside and inside to enjoy them. The hosts were attentive and very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and activities. Breakfast was the best we had during our eight‑night visit of the Highlands. It’s a great place if you want a relaxed spot to unwind at the end of the day.

“Just perfect!”

If you want to experience authentic Scotland, this is the perfect place to stay. Nature, delicious food, incredibly kind and friendly hosts, fabulous accommodation, and avant‑garde design—all were a dream! The location is wonderful—you’re surrounded by nature and tranquility, and you get to experience the Scotland we had been looking for. Animals everywhere, lush greenery, relaxation, distilleries, the famous butter biscuit factory, castles, and history. The food made a huge difference: full of flavor and sourced from local producers and neighbors. The hosts are incredibly friendly and were always there to help with anything we needed—from advice and recommendations to taking great care of the fireplace in our room, which they made sure was ready for us every day. The extremely comfortable bed gave us the most restful sleep. This is a place I would wholeheartedly recommend, and it truly made us feel like we were experiencing Scotland at its best. Congratulations to the hosts on everything you are doing there! It is wonderful!
