Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: There are days things happen to you that are totally unexpected. We spent the last night of our extended trip through Scotland in an extraordinary place just outside Ballatar: CRAGGAN. Calling it a boutique hotel would be an understatement. The CRAGGAN is run by a wonderfully kind couple. Our room was large, the best mattress we slept on in Scotland, superb pillows, a great bathroom and a view on hilly meadows with pheasants, rabbits and hawks. Breakfast makes the Ritz-Carlton jealous. If you have the opportunity to enjoy the hospitality of Craggan, grasp it: it has only three rooms
Summary: A fairy tale
