Fantastic stay at the Allanton inn. Bar and restaurant is great, especially having a drink in the large outdoor area. Staff are very helpful and extremely friendly. The bed in our room was a little hard but it this is a minor issue for such a great stay.

Great Inn, brilliant food and great rooms. William was an excellent host and nothing was too much trouble. An isolated location, but all the better for that. Cannot recommend this establishment enough. Brilliant garden and outside facilities for the better Scottish weather.

Great inn, lovely food, attention to detail in the bedroom - flannel and excellent toiletries provided. Better than many hotels. Parking was on the street - but I parked in front of the front door - closer than for many hotel car parks. Would visit again.

This place is amazing!
The staff were really friendly and helpful, the rooms were excellent, clean and very comfortable.
The food was incredible, breakfast was basically whatever you wanted. Dinner was also excellent, especially the puddings.
Would definitely stay again.
