We were already accustomed to good hospitality during our Hill Walk tours and prearranged hospitality, and this was the first B&B that we booked ourselves we weren’t sure what to expect. Cawdor House exceeded expectations. Great location. Excellent staff. Wonderful breakfast.Best coffee and tea. Highly recommend!
