This is by far the most traditional of all the Highland Games that we have been to. We have now travelled from the West Coast five times and will be there this year again with the family. The location itself is idillic. The atmosphere takes you back decades! many kilted visitors of all backgrounds. The event is set in the fantastic grounds of Cortachy Castle, the family home of the 13th Earl of Airlie, who along with his wife the Countess of Airlie, their children and grandchildren are very friendly and welcoming. The event is family oriented, the flower and local agricultural produce marquee is a must for all to enjoy. The food that is available is of the highest quality like Aberdeen Angus burgers at affordable prices, they sell the locally produced famous and delicious Visocci ice cream, home baking etc. The dogs races are very funny and the Heavies are a spectacle not to be missed, the Highland dancing is amazing, the children's events means your children will have a great time. The event attracts famous people who mix and mingle with the rest of the crowd and every year they seem to get sunshine! we always say: "That was the best Games so far" so we are looking forward to being there this year.

Good Points: The room was large and very cosy. Tea making equipment was provided. The bed was very comfortable. Plenty of drawer and wardrobe space. Bad Points: Wallpaper was a bit bubbly in places. The bed side lights were a bit too dim to read by. Main complaint was one waitress who was not very customer friendly. General Review: The hotel was good value for money. The decor was some what faded but generally OK. The staff were friendly and helpful. Pub had a good atmosphere, restaurant was OK and prices reasonable. Slight let down was one particular waitress who was a bit brusque in her manner and did not come over as very customer friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay as the loaction just south of Exmoor is ideal for walking. Only thing that spoilt it slightly was the waitress ringing us up at 9.30am on Sunday morning to say are you coming down to breakfast or what
