**Apitherapy is a sustainable bee-based therapy and is a fast-growing trend in Eastern Europe.** 

A specially designed wooden triangular structure, known as an ‘apipod’ has been installed here on the hotel grounds.  Inside, six beehives housing a total of 60,000 honey bees have been placed in compartments underneath the pod. As the pod is nestled among the trees the bees come and go freely through their own special entrance.

A metal mesh between the walls and the hives ensures only sounds and smells infuse the interior, but the bees are contained, so there is no risk of bee stings to guests.

Each session includes fresh Lemon Balm Tea picked from our kitchen garden to enhance relaxation.

Apitherapy

A great experience with 60,000 Honey Bees below you as you rest/sleep. Everything was thought of including a blanket in the Apipod.
We missed the Lemon Balm Tea unless this arrived at the Apipod after we left after an hour.
I would recommend this activity and the Sauna with the dips in the river and Loch.

Life at Mhor Farm Tour

Hanna Burton

The farm tour was fun. The day staff were all lovely. Unfortunately the dinner was incredibly disappointing. I had been looking forward it for so long. The service was appalling, probably because we were tucked out of site. We were never offered a second drink. The mains took an hour to be cleared from our table. The food very underwhelming. So much effort trying to be fancy that they failed on flavour. Definitely not worth the money. 

Bryan Chapatis

What a magical place! Stayed in the treehouse which we all loved, so quirky & surrounded by nature. 
The whole dining experience was amazing from the friendly staff to the superb food , we will miss those breakfasts for sure.
Highly recommend the farm tour was very interesting, our kids loved it & even got a spin up the road on a tractor.
A shout out also to reception staff who were so friendly & helpful. Thanks for a great few days. 

Leanne Reid

We did the farm tour this week with our children and loved it! Magda and Oksana were so knowledgeable and you could tell they loved everything about the animals and the farm. They made sure to involve our children and give them the opportunity to interact with all the animals. I would recommend it to anyone.

Drinks Master Class

Marie Guthrie

We had a lovely time- Staff were lovely, Relaxing atmosphere, woodburners  for cosy atmosphere,  Drinks Master Class, Dinner, Sauna, Comfort etc- All great. Only downside was 90 minute wait for breakfast- think this could be improved

Lorna Edwards

Arrest bed with high levels of expectation and I was not let down. From the warm welcome, excellent service, wine, cocktail masterclass and quirky rooms. I love it. 

Mary Butler

Absolutely brilliant!  Matt was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining  and we learnt so much about whiskey and cocktails.  Definitely recommend!

Donald Matheson

The Drinks Masterclass was fantastic. Matt was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the history of cocktail making in a fun and engaging way. The session was highly interactive, and he shared some excellent tips and advice on how to make the perfect cocktail. We would highly recommend it!

Wine Safari

Angela Watt

The weather wasn't great for the day of our wine safari, but the team turned it around and made adjustments to ensure we had a fun day. Beautiful setting and venue, and nice to do something a bit different from the norm! 

ROSEMARY REID

Absolutely brilliant stay and the wine safari was a fantastic experience despite the weather. Beautiful setting and fabulous staff.

Steve Watson

This was our first time on the safari. While it was a beautiful day and the venue looked great, we were a bit disappointed by the walk. I was led to believe it would be 6 miles, but it was only 5km, and simply walking up a road and back felt like a waste of time. The entire event could have easily been hosted right on the hotel site.

On a positive note, the food and wine were nice, though it would have been great to get top-ups. We received a top-up of Crémant at the start, but after that, it felt like there wasn't enough to go around. Ultimately, I also felt the group size was a bit too large.

Patricia Francis

Very disappointed that the 10k walk didn’t happen! People should have been informed of this prior to attending as this was part of the package!
 No issues with food however the  wine allowance was  insufficient! We were at a table of 10 where the other 6 were being served more wine and when  we asked were told it was now finished! 
I am a dog lover however there were too many dogs allowed and not on leads! Dogs were allowed to wander around restaurant area and under table with one who had been in water shaking there coat thus we were cover in water and smelling of dog! 
I don’t think the wine safari offered value for money! 
Very disappointing! 

Stephan Pattoni

Overall disappointed with the whole experience. There were too many people attending which resulted in not hearing everything. There were too many dogs off lead and wet dogs under the dining table  which was just revolting. Finding a long blond hair in my main dinner was unpleasant but telling a waiter and getting absolutely no reaction was just rude.   Another waiter served extra bubbly to guests at our table but completely ignored our party. 

Jim Meldrum

This was an experience booked for my wife's Christmas. 
From the first minute to the last, it totally exceeded our expectations.  The weather was fantastic and it was great to meet some new people.  Tom is a totally natural host and highly entertaining, even if there were a few naughty words slipped in, he was great fun. The wines ( and spirits ) were excellent and very reasonable measures to boot. Congratulations should go to the chef as the food was of the highest quality. While the portion sizes were perfect for us, those with a heartier appetite may need manage their expectations of quantity.
Overall the day was fantastic and I would highly recommend it.


Paul Pickles

Really enjoyed the overall experience. Tom as always very informative and entertaining at the same time! Guest vineyard led by competent and knowledgeable guides and managers. MM staff exceptional and well organised. Plenty of wine to sample with refills paired with a good food and walk through the Glen. 

Helen Keenan

Fabulous day out! Tom and the team were excellent from the word go,  the warmest of welcomes, the best of Scottish hospitality and an experience we’ll be wanging on about for a long time! Can’t wait to come back 

Julie Scott

Fabulous day. Food delicious, wine flowing, setting stunning and wonderful hosts! A perfect day ou.
