Great little village! Nice BnB with lovely and helpful host. Pauline washed our cloth for 5 £. Good parking space. Nice front yard with bench to enjoy both morning and evening sun.Room 2 is quite small (also the bed) but the privat bathroom across the hall is huge and very nice. Breakfast is good.

A nice B&B with big rooms and an amazing view on the surrounding mountains. Good breakfast as well! The breakfast room, however was a bit cool and also we somehow didn't get the hearty feeling from the owner, we experienced in other B&Bs. She still was very nice and friendly!

We were working locally and stayed here overnight. Myself and my work colleagues were greeted by a warm welcome. The accommodation was nice and clean, warm and welcoming. The breakfast was also pretty good and set us up for the day ahead. I'd definitely recommend visiting here.

Place is excellent quality and very clean, food is very good too. Good location for a loop drive to Applecross, along the cost and then across the mountain range. No five stars because no views. Host is matter-of-fact and to the point, not a chit chatter, but very professional and correct.

Nice, clean room but a poor breakfast, very hard poached eggs - not ideal. Also no covered bike storage, had to leave the bike outside.

It was a lovely warm and cosy guest house which provided all you needed whilst away from home. We were in room 2 and had our own private bathroom which had a bath and shower. But please be aware the hot water was burning hot. So be careful.The breakfast was small but adequate and probably healthier for you.The views from your room and the breakfast room were really good of the hillside.There was an electric heater in the cupboard if you needed the extra heat.Pauline was informative and helpful.The bathroom was a but dated but again it was adequate and fine.Overall a clean and welcome place to stay.
