If you have any food allergies or intolerances please tell us in advance of your stay.
We can cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten intolerance and other diets with advanced notice. For example, vegetarian and gluten free sausages and haggis can be sourced, and we can make gluten free Scotch pancakes!
