All meals at our spa are prepared according to traditional methods and using the most available ingredients to give your taste buds a taste of all that Scottish peasants, Scottish aristocrats and high society alike enjoy.
It should be noted that we do not serve or cook gluten-free or lactose-free dishes, nor do we prepare vegetarian or vegan dishes.
Our extensive breakfasts and culinary dinners are always pre-planned at the time of your reservation, so that we always have fresh and quality ingredients.
Our lunches are very unconventional as their preparation is identical to the lunches we cook for ourselves. However, this does not mean that we take them away or cook them in a style other than the Scottish style. They cannot be chosen in advance, however, but each time at breakfast the type of lunch will be specified by the wellness staff for your possible order.
Breakfast is always served in the dining area by the fireplace at 9:00 am.
Lunch can be taken at 01:00 p.m. also in the dining area.
Dinners are served at 7:00 pm in front of a blazing fireplace with beautiful music to create that unique Scottish feeling.
Every romantic dinner deserves a great aperitif in the form of a creamy port wine to replace some of our recommended old wines, and for a digestif you will be transported to The Macallan, an old Scottish distillery, to enjoy the unique taste of whisky.
If you prefer Champagne, then know that our selection is truly refined and we will offer you the best from small French winemakers.
But did you know that sparkling wine does not originate in France, but in England? In 1662, the English scientist Christopher Merret described the production of sparkling wine, thanks to the glass bottle, which was a novelty but allowed the wines to age in it.
Would you like to taste sparkling wine (you can't call it champagne) from England, which is still made using the same method today? Only in our little private Scotland do you have the chance and the opportunity!
For the true gourmands or connoisseurs of the finest delicacies, we can offer you our imported Beluga caviar served on ice with a traditional twin to accompany the fantastic sparkling wines.

*Both guests must choose the same menu. We are unable to prepare different menus for each guest. Thank you for your understanding.
All dinners are accompanied by drinks that have been specially selected to match the dish and cannot be altered. Of course, if a guest is not drinking alcohol, we will offer spring water or a delicious homemade heather tea.
Of course, you can extend the exclusive taste experience with traditional butter biscuits, Scottish potato crisps or the absolutely unique heather or black beer imported directly from Scotland.
After each of the dishes, which will leave you with a variety of flavours, you can sit back in the comfortable armchairs in front of the blazing fireplace and enjoy a glass of whatever you like or might like to try. You can listen to beautiful Scottish music or even old French jazz.
