Our visit to Creagan House was all too short! Badly planned driving (on our part) didn't see us arrive until way too late to enjoy what (based on next morning breakfast) would have been a spectacular evening meal, hosted by the lovely Cherry and Gordon Gunn. On our honeymoon, they gave us the four poster bed and I loved the bathroom, which was spotlessly clean. The breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious and we said goodbye all too soon.

We have just returned from our second visit this year to this hotel. As before we could not fault anything.

Our room was immaculate and had everything we could want from fresh flowers to Molton Brown toiletries (no TV but you don't need one). The bathroom was spacious, spotless and the shower was nice and powerful.

The best bit, as before, was the food. It was delicious and served in the baronial dining hall - a lovely spacious room to which the pictures on the hotel website do not do justice. The wine and whisky lists were varied and extensive.

The whole place is a credit to Cherry and Gordon.

We will be back (very soon hopefully)

We stayed at Creagan House for 3 days during a 10 day holiday in Scotland and I cannot stress how good this place is. It is run by the owners and the customer service is outstanding. The room was beautifully furnished with lots of little extras and was exceptionally clean. This is not the whole story however. The food must be eaten to be believed and is some of the best we have been served. Its based on french cuisine but with fresh scottish ingredients and the menus change daily. The wine list is impressive too. The food is served in an impressive dining room and adds to the occasion.

If you are wondering about booking here - take a tip from an experienced traveller - you won't get better - book it now, go and enjoy. We'll certainly be back for more. We are missing the food already. Thanks Cherry and Gordon, you are true pros.

A warm welcome from Cherry awaited us on our arrival at Creagan House. We were given the only 4 poster room which was very nice and the en-suite bathroom had lovely soaps and fluffy towels and even one towelling robe. We found Cherry to be very friendly and helpful but saw very little of Gordon who spent all his time in the kitchen. It appeared that Cherry and Gordon run the hotel and restaurant singlehandedly.

The restaurant is in a large 'baronial room' which is completely without atmosphere. There are probably about 10 tables in this room. On the days that we were there only three were in use and everyone spoke in whispered voices. There was no background music and the only sounds that could be heard were of cutlery scraping across the plates. Gordon is a perfefctionist and the quality of his food is wonderful, However, you must be prepared to wait up to half an hour for your meal, or even the fabulous scrambled eggs with smoked salmon that he makes for breakfast. If you can put up with this, then its definitely worth the visit.

Incidentaly, on the night that we were there, a guest told Cherry that a bat had just come in her bedroom window and had followed her into the hall. This didnt seem to cause surprise to either Cherry or Gordon. Apparently there is a colony of bats that live at the back of the house and we were told that it was unusual for them to fly into the house (usually to look for a missing baby). Eventually Cherry was able to persuade the bat out of the window!
