Tillypronie has a legendary reputation for providing hospitality. As long ago as 1878 the American writer Henry James wrote of Tillypronie as "this supremely comfortable house - lying deep among the brown and purple moors" and described " the glorious view of sweeping hills and gleaming lochs that lies forever before the windows".
The house is peculiarly elastic. It can be cosy and accessible with just a small party, but the dining room can comfortably sit 18. Besides the Drawing Room, Morning Room and club-like Smoking Room, there is a children's playroom and a billiard room with full sized table and juke box.
