Blervie House

這大豪宅絕對是旅程中的一大驚喜，房主78歲凡事親力親為，家裡養着馬，牽出來説騎着馬可以騎24英里都是他家領地讓我們試試。10年前他買了這個大房子，花了三年時間全新裝修。做成家庭旅館，房子全新裝修完全沒有老房子的破舊感非常隔音，沒有走路厚厚的地板聲。實話説這個大豪宅説成是旅館實在有點對不起他了，這是城堡豪宅，非常難得的體驗。發了很多圖片，實在是美到不行。

Beautiful home and property, but owner needs to get a grip on what "hospitality" is. Due to travel issues, we were late for our arrival and had to miss a scotch tasting our travel agent had booked for us. We notified them well in advance that we were likely to be late due to issues out of our control, etc. The next morning, the owner gave us a passive aggressive earful about it being rude that we were late (despite giving as much advance notice as possible) and also making clear that he does not like Americans. Other than him, the staff was completely delightful and we have no other complaints. It figures that he was one of only two unpleasant people we met in our 10 days in Scotland, both of whom were English (this fella claims Scotland as home, but you won't detect a trace of it in his accent or attitude).

My boyfriend and I stayed here after a day of whisky tastings in Speyside and it was the perfect, peaceful end to our day with a home-cooked meal (the best chicken Wellington!) and cozy evening in the estate lounge rooms. The property is gorgeous, has tons of history and the owners are an absolute delight to speak with. It’s the personal attention of a bed and breakfast but with all the luxury amenities of a five-star hotel, so truly the best of both worlds. My only regret is not staying here longer!! But it’s definitely a special property worth traveling back for.
