We are spending our summer holiday in Scotland and decided to stay in the Navidale House Hotel for a few days. It was a great decision. Beautiful old house, wonderful architecture! Amazing rooms, our Kingfisher Suite with a breathtaking view, I can't stop watching the sea! Very clean, with bath sets, little kettle, cups, tea and coffee bags. Totally lovely! The owner very friendly and polite. Breakfast tasty, also vegetarian option! I am more than happy to be in this wonderful place with stunning views
We're a retired couple on holiday from Australia. What a wonderful surprise this little hotel was! A small, family-run boutique hotel with an absolutely fabulous view of the sea. Our room was delightful; very clean and comfortable. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu selection for dinner was fantastic and the dining room itself just great. The food was even better than we could have hoped for. And breakfast the next morning was just as good.
