We loved this manor! Our only regret was not staying longer but we will be back. The hosts were amazing, our room was spacious and well appointed, and there is so much to explore in this area. We truly couldn't have been happier with the Argyle. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Lovely stay and Homemade bread for breakfast!
Loved Tomintoul. Such a nice place to stay. We were delayed on our flight and were running late, but Diane was super acomodating. Probably our best stay of the 7 day trip. We loved exploring the town and wish we had more time there. Homemade bread was delicious in the morning!
