Incredible evening at the Old Manse of Blair
Spent an incredible evening at the Old Manse of Blair. The owner was attentive and went out of his way to make my girlfriend and me feel welcome. Dinner was fantastic and the service from the waitress was top notch. The "design room" was a bit small but very comfy bed and modern design.

Lovely relaxing stay
We recently stayed here for the first time and it won’t be our last! The staff were so lovely and attentive, they made us feel so welcome and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The evening meal and breakfast were both absolutely delicious. The building itself is so beautiful and we could easily have sat by the fire all day and night. I’d highly recommend a visit here.

The Old Manse of Blair was fantastic! For starters, we missed our flight into Glasgow and had to drive in from Edinburgh. We contacted the host and he was willing to stay late, beyond regular check in hours, for us to arrive. We stayed in one of the outbuildings. It was beautiful and comfortable. Eat breakfast at the Manse. It was fresh and delicious. And honestly, those cows- they are so cute! I would definitely stay here again.

A really personal and discreet place to stay with history and charm. Every member of staff were happy, cheerful, helpful and courteous. A credit to the team. A great welcome on arrival, our room, the Minister's Study had a feeling of warmth and history, well equipped for our needs. With quality amenities, quality iron and ironing board and a quality unfixed hairdryer. Pre drinks in the drawing room was comfortable with log fire then beautiful tasty meal in the Orangery. The gardens were beautifully kept and even the Highland Cows were friendly! A wonderful stay and would recommend.

A lovely stay
Lovely hotel in a beautiful part of the country. Check-in was a little odd, but we quickly got our keys, and checked into our lovely room. It was clean; well furnished, and the bathroom was a great size. We appreciated having a little outdoor space to sit as well. We enjoyed a glass of wine in front of the lovely main house in the sunshine. Small niggles - there’s no fridge in the room, our bathroom (the aspen) has some water damage on the ceiling, and the tv wouldn’t connect to the hotel WiFi. All pretty minor, but worth noting given the price point of the room.

8/10 Very Good

Very clean. Food generally very good but not quite 5 star (root veg on 1 night very very al dente and duck very salty but otherwise good). Staff very attentive yet not overbearing, which is a difficult balance to achieve. Very expensive. Especially expensive in my view is £40 per night to allow a dog to stay. Nothing provided for dog - just "allowed to stay" for that price. Other similar hotels in which we have stayed have actually made us feel welcome with the dog, rather than just being tolerated; eg they have provided titbits, or a dark towel for the dog. Even a water bowl would be appreciated.On average the other hotels have charged around £20 per night for the dog, so half the fee at the Old Manse. So overall a very pleasant stay marred only by my comments re the price which would be ok for a truly 5 star experience. This was 4-4.5 stars in my view. So nearly there but not quite. Final thing would be to please finish the car park and access to the new block. There is poor lighting up the steep bank to the car park and the covering is loose old tarmac clinker. OK for us, and that didn't detract from a nice stay, but it could be a slip hazard for anyone not totally secure with their footing.

I didn't want to leave!
The grounds were absolutely gorgeous - and it was a nice bonus that there was a horse, a mini pony, and a few Highland cows right on the property. We had dinner at the Orangery restaurant and it was incredible, the best food I had in Scotland.
