A lovely meal of decent food in a relaxing setting and friendly welcome. Our party of nine were all delighted with the quality of our various choices. The whisky selection is amongst the most extensive I've seen in a proper restaurant.

Fabulous stay in this hidden gem in Portknockie. Wonderful hospitality from superb hosts Davey and Lorraine. Would definitely recommend only stayed one night. Lovely little village close to harbour and coastal walks. Orcas had been spotted just days earlier
