The Scholar
Just a really lovely stay. Room we got was a little smaller than the others- don’t get the end room. But Abacus was great as was the breakfast and staff were really accommodating

The Scott
It’s a bit far from the old town, but it’s such a beautiful place that it’s totally worth it. The breakfast is fantastic, and you can even enjoy a whiskey tasting with one of their specialists. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.
