Blervie House

Wonderful hosts - Graham and Sheena are extremely focused on making everyone’s stay memorable. The beds are extremely comfy too! Beautifully kept carriage house in a central spot to visit many gems in the area. Was a very relaxing enjoyable stay!

Absolutely wonderful stay. Graham and Sheena made us so welcome that I think we may have to go back sometime. From the breakfast to the beautiful huge room we couldn’t fault it. The bathroom was absolutely enormous. Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

Blervie House is an amazing property. It is not only beautiful but very peaceful. Service is impeccable! Staying there was a highlight of our one-month European tour.

The owner made a point of telling us that by booking through Expedia we had paid considerably more than fellow guests who had booked directly and that we had been given the worst room. That was certainly true as we had water dripping from the ceiling and faulty lighting. The room was decommissioned after we left. An unpleasant experience.

We showed up at 10pm and no one was there. Everything was locked up and lights off. We kept ringing the bell, nocking on the door and calling the phone number but no one answered!! After waiting over and hour in the the front door with zero answer we had no choice but to leave and it was not easy finding another hotel at 11pm.

Rooms were great, exceeding expectations considering its location in the countryside and cheap price. However, the owner should not be so aggressive about inconveniences caused by guests. If he thought we were too loud in our rooms, the owner should have simply said so. Barging in to our room without any warning or properly announcing himself(he just opened the door and came in his bathrobes) was unacceptable. Proceeding to then waving/pointing the end of his walking stick at his guests' faces while shouting threats, would not be considered anywhere near tolerable, let alone hospitable. We would have been regretful for any inconveniences we may have caused, if it were not for the owner waving his walking stick at us, causing more Shock than Regret. We are your customers, dear sir, not some kids you let in. Cultural differences may exist, and the 'friendly' atmosphere of this facility may come with its downsides, but the owner should learn his manners before attempting to teach others theirs. He would do well to remember the guests are not 'guests' at his home, but 'paying customers' who are using his facilities at their expense. Other grievances include the fact that the housekeeping is limited to new towels, but I understand that it is in accordance with ESG trends. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed most of our stay at this establishment.

While a car and GPS/directions are needed to get to Blervie House, once there you are central to a variety of activities. For us that meant distillery tours. We arrived and were greeted and made to feel welcome by Graham. As it turns out we timed our visit between other guests and had the house to ourselves. We found the grounds lovely for walking about. The rooms were elegantly appointed and large. The bathroom was very modern and provided every spa product you could want. Breakfast is made to order and delicious. This is a unique and wonderful treat for any occasion. Put this on your must visit list in Scotland!

Most beautiful friendly place I have ever visited.

Exquisite.

Graham and Sheena are delightful hosts and nothing was too much trouble.

Wonderful property. The owners are very friendly. Highly recommend

The property was beautiful and quiet. Limited staff at the site and no direction provided on what's available while there. Residence was however accomodating with having my daughter join us on the trip.

Bel endroit et très grande chambre intime. Lhote Graham très gentil et donne de bonnes suggestions pour les restaurants à essayer durant notre voyage. Le lit est tellement confortable… un nuage! Les déjeuners servis selon nos goûts et très généreux. Merci pour l’expérience. Nous en garderons un beau souvenir!

Huge, wonderfully appointed rooms. Very clean and fresh smelling. Beautiful property!

This is a beautiful home, lovingly restored and cared for by its owners. The breakfasts are delicious and the staff is exceptional. You are treated like royalty!

We thoroughly enjoyed a couples reunion in this large fully-restored stately home. We had one of their middle-priced rooms which was huge, bathroom was huge and the bed very comfortable. Fabulous (huge) breakfasts each morning. Large state rooms for sitting and reading. Full size snooker table. Note - Forres is a bit remote! it's small town and rather quiet. We enjoyed local walks and traveled an hour to Loch Ness and 40+ mins each way to Inverness for Distillery Tours, Go-Karting, Sightseeing, etc. (Must take a taxi or minibus if you plan a Distillery tour!) If you are a larger group Graham and Sheena may offer a dinner option. If they do - take it!

My husband and I had an excellent stay at Blervie House, we arrived during Storm Arwin and the hosts Graham and Sheila couldn’t have been more helpful. It was a beautiful house in lovely grounds. The cooked breakfast was amazing. My husband and I were the only guests that weekend and Graham and Sheila were so attentive, couldn’t have asked for anything more.

very good hotel, service and food excellent

A DELIGHTFUL AND SUBSTANTIAL BUILDING THAT HAS BEEN LOVINGLY RESTORED BY THE CURRENT OWNERS TO AN EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH STANDARD. THOUGHTFUL DECOR CHOSEN FOR HIGH QUALITY AND ORIGINALITY HAS BROUGHT THE HOME BACK TO ITS FORMAL ELEGANCE.................THE OWNERS ARE VERY MUCH HANDS ON AND DELIGHTFUL TO MEET. WOULD BE HAPPY TO RETURN AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Superb stay at Blervie House! Graham and Sheena couldn't have provided more for us, and the whole experience was super! Amenities, surroundings and room comfort were all top class in accommodation that was very comfortable and relaxing. All of the services described on Hotels.com were provided with a smile, and our hosts were extremely hospitable! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here.
