Beautiful and peaceful place. We stayed one night but had a wonderful stay. We ate dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed the whiskey cocktails.
We would stay there again.

This was an amazing place to stay as well as visit. The staff was kind, helpful, knowledgeable and wonderful. The grounds and rooms a beautiful and comfortable. The restaurant is delicious and the distillery tour is a must. The only complaint i would have is the boxed breakfast and self serve coffee in room.
