The food was perfect. The wine was amazing. The guest house was fantastic. Yet that wouldn't have created such a uniquely wonderful experience without the knowledgeable, friendly staff who had a genuine warmth, kindness and care for what they were doing and who they were serving. Whoever does the hiring and training deserves a gold medal. Every single person that worked there was exemplary, and could teach all of us how to be.
I can imagine guests ranged from those that go as regularly as is possible, restricted by waiting list, and those that go as a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone gets the same unbelievable attention.
Huge thanks to all at MacNean House. I'll never forget the experience.
PS - Make sure to book the stay over. Waking up to have that breakfast was a perfect way to end the trip.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. From the comfortable rooms and the delicious breakfast to an incredible tasting menu at dinner. The food and hospitality was to a very high standard. It was so good we booked again for later in the year.

Just back from a night in MacNean House. Absolutely incredible. I have always been a fan of Nevins and it has been on my list for a long time. We booked a Saturday night dining experience and stay a long time ago but my lord it was worth the wait.

Before I talk about the food. Massive appreciation to the team there, both front of house and back. The level service is beyond anything I have ever experienced. Attentive, warm and friendly. Professional service with heart. Clearly a lot of time and effort goes into the team development because the way they anticipate your needs and provide service in such a confident and warm was outstanding. Thank you all.

I won't go on about the food too much because words don't do it justice. It was by far the best dining experience we have ever had. We had the wine pairing and the way the food and wine was presented and explained was excellent. The quality of the food and the attention to detail is beyond what I could detail here. And that was the dinner, the breakfast is simply put, the icing on the cake. Wow. But suffice to say anyone who goes here for this will leave blown away. Thank you all so much, we cannot wait to come back. We will be booking the another Saturday so we will see you then.

Amazing!!!!!!!

Fabulous experience, the food is amazing, we had the tasting menu and it was all delicious.  The only thing I would change would be the music, it was just short of pan pipes!  Service is excellent and the team there are very friendly and professional.  Nevin was there at breakfast making his way about the tables.  He’s a great host.  The rooms are very comfortable, but those facing the street can be a little noisy from trucks and lorries passing through the village.  Breakfast itself was also fabulous, lovely home bakes, especially the delicious madeleines.   This is hospitality as it should be.
