We stayed at Allanhead for a week in February and had a lovely time.
We stayed at Allanhead for a week in February and had a lovely time. The huge garden was a bonus for our dog who loved it and it is totally enclosed which meant we didn't have to worry about her when we were sat out on either of the two patios or in the conservatory. The sea and snow-capped mountain views were stunning and the peace and quiet was wonderful. The daily visits from deer and multiple bird of prey displays as well as a hare hopping by, all made this a wonderfully relaxing and most enjoyable experience. We will be back!
