Busta House Review
Dating from the 16th century, Busta House has a restrained, austere elegance that tells you something of the Gifford family that once lived here—ask the current owners about the Gifford family's ill-starred history. All the rooms are different (ask about size, location, and possible noise when you book) and are prettily furnished, many with antique headboards. The Long Room is a delightful place to sample a selection of malt whiskies beside a peat fire. The restaurant serves light lunches, dinners, and the bar has a less expensive menu. This is a good place to get away from it all.

I realized that my other ongoing report ("UK TR, so far)" was now misnamed....so I am finishing here. I started it on the 2nd (or so) day of our trip, but now we have been at home for several days.
