“Superb doesn’t go far enough to describe a stay here, book for longer than you think!”
+Welcome homemade cake was surprise bonus. Very comfortable bed. A lovely continental breakfast which you can choose the night before, delicious! We opted for gorgeous fruit, yogurt, granola, ham & cheese with local bread & homemade preserves! Our room was superb & the view is breathtaking. We also made use of the BBQ facilities, which was great for our family visit. Will definitely be back💕
−Everything was superb, no issues whatsoever.

“Peaceful, calm and relaxing, the ideal place to unwind.”
+The Sanctuary is an exceptional place to stay if you want peace and quiet. The property is off grid so there is no tv or WiFi which was heaven for us. Breakfast was amazing with home baked bread and homemade jam. We took ours on the terrace overlooking the fantastic view. Our hosts Karen and David were attentive and so interesting, Karen even baked a cake most days for us all to have a piece. I can't wait to go back again!
−I can't think of anything!

“Fantastic - would highly recommend.”
+A wonderful B and B. Hosts were so friendly and helpful; accommodation was clean and comfortable. Beautiful views and the dogs loved exploring the gardens. Breakfast was delightful especially when taken on the balcony of our room in the morning sun. Good fresh local produce.
−Steep drive was a little tricky

“Fantastic place. We’ll go again”
+Fantastic quiet location overlooking the Fowie River. We had breakfast every day, and brought in supper some days, on our terrace overlooking the river every day as it was so relaxing and delightful. We loved the owners’ commitment to environmentalism and enjoyed living off the grid. The water is all natural and energy from solar power. The facilities are high standard and the breakfasts great. Most of all we enjoyed the many acres of land belonging to the hotel.
−The steep but short walk up from the car park was a bit of a nuisance.

“A lighthouse of green b&b”
+Once you have found Karen and David's property, you are greeted joyfully and with a wagging tail by their herding dog Woody. When you enter Karen and David's hillside home “Sanctuary”, every item of furniture, chosen with care and style, conveys a special atmosphere the philosophy of a quality-emphasized, very homogeneous eco-furnishing style and homemade products ecological awareness & responsibility The whole house is full of examples of how to avoid plastic Thus, the ‘Sanctuary’ is a “Green Island” in the best sense of the word and you are shown in an exemplary way how you can run your home household in a more environmentally conscious way without sacrificing comfort. how you can run your household in a more environmentally conscious way without sacrificing comfort In the evening, you can enjoy the sunset over the river from the balcony after an eventful day's vacation. Karen & David set an example or a “lighthouse of green b&&b” with their completely new interpretation of b&&b and By the way: If you don't meet Karen in the house, you can always find her somewhere in her huge “Garden of Eden” from the 😊 Thank you so much, dear Karen and dear David, for this extraordinary experi

“Peaceful, friendly and well-appointed”
+A wonderful place to stay, peaceful, great views and the owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. The whole place is off-grid, which is very impressive, and in no way compromises your stay. You can even get a delicious breakfast delivered to your room. Highly recommend this property and hope to stay again. Only point to bear in mind is that there’s no WiFi, which is actually a plus if you want to relax. I could get phone signal in the right spot!

“A quiet eyrie”
+It's a lovely place and convenient for the area we wanted to explore. We liked breakfast and talking to Karen.
−We knew there was not going to be WiFi, which we would have much appreciated, but the Internet signal was poor and made it difficult to organise our affairs. The access road did require strong nerves but we were warned. The balcony which was a great space but it faced east and not warm enough in the eveningd.
