Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate
The property itself is beautiful and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. We had two dinners in the restaurant and the food was excellent! There are few minor issues that need to be addressed, as this can make it a big difference. Our room was spacious but not very clean, plenty of dust around ...

Pine Marten, Dunbar by Marston's Inns
The room was spotless and warm. But the bar was freezing where I had my dinner. I had to move. If I had been more comfortable I would have stayed longer.
