True luxury is felt as much as it is seen.

As part of our recent refurbishments, we’ve focused on the tactile beauty of local craftsmanship - bringing the rich textures of the Scottish landscape indoors through our partnership with ANTA Scotland.

It is these small, curated touches that turn a room into a sanctuary.

Focus on the fine details: the way a bespoke curtain frame frames a view of the town, or the tactile pull of a hand-finished fabric.

Our collaboration with ANTA ensures that every element in Room 10 has a story to tell - one of local produce, rare craftsmanship, and thoughtful design.

Quality is a feeling.
