Our two-night stay at The Garvault was bliss from start to finish, with delightful and most helpful hosts and staff. We stayed in the stable block (apparently the first guests to do so). …

The Garvault is situated in some of the most extraordinary country even by North of Scotland standards: rolling countryside, high straths, wonderful rivers and just beyond a fold, a mountain rears up! …

Second visit. Came in March for 2 days, this time for 7, We had a superb time. Managed to get out everyday and go for a walk without rain every day which was amazing given the storms further south. Brilliant food. …
