“…our stay at MacKeanston was the best part of our visit to Scotland. You set the standard…to such a high level
of excellence that everything else seemed to fall short of our (now) raised level of expectations.”

“Thank you for the fine food, hospitality and…excellent home baking. We were at the end of a very busy, stressful week, and you and your home surroundings were wonderful therapy. ….you went the extra mile with the menu, etc., but most of all with yourselves.”

“A big “thank you” – we all enjoyed our visit, which was Tom & Judy’s only stay not in 5 Star Hotels, but made up for it (in your) 10 Star B&B. Your venison was delicious.”

“……our heartfelt thanks for your hospitality during our recent stay. You are a delightful hostess and an outstanding cook. Over the years we have stayed in many Wolsey Lodges, (but now) Mackeanston House has gone to the top of our list. You and Colin have only confirmed why we only use Wolsey Lodges for our holidays, and recommend them to friends.
Martha & Tom Roberts, Dahlonega, Georgia, U.S.A.

“…..You took care of us most wonderfully well, and made the greatest possible difference to our trip north. From the cottage pie onwards, everything was marvellous. The lovely dinner and care you took (not to mention the Piper of the House and your tolerance to our noise levels!) contributed enormously to that.”
Nigel & Lexi Leigh-Pemberton, Barfreston, Dover, Kent
