Property information

We moved to the Highfield Guest House in March 2008 and began to renovate this elegant Victorian house to enhance its original features and create a home for us and our guests to enjoy. We were awarded our Visit Scotland 4 star rating and were delighted when this was raised to a 4 star gold rating in 2014. Our aim is to ensure our guests have a comfortable stay in a friendly relaxed atmosphere.
