We recently stayed at Highbullen and had a mix of experiences. The food was phenomenal, both for dinner and breakfast, truly a highlight of our visit. The room we had was spacious but showed signs of wear and tear, which was a bit disappointing. The service was lacking upon arrival, but once settled, we enjoyed many of the amenities. Definitely a place worth visiting for the dining, but the accommodations could use some improvements.
