Well what can I say and where do I even begin, this was the most memorable and pleasureful stay I’ve ever had in any B&B, and I’m a tour guide who has over hundreds of nights on the road. …

Extremely comfortable stay with a warm hearty scottish welcome. Les and John (owners) alongside Becky and Lorraine make the perfect dream team from ensuring that I had all I needed, to their wealth of local knowledge. …

What a great place to spend a night or two! Les and John were super hosts, sharing their home with my wife and me as if we were family. We ate, drank, talked and laughed for hours. …

Beautiful place, nice people and a lovely stay.Liz is the owner of Gordon House and she is the sunlight of this place! We will recommend this place to anyone and everyone. You will not regret it. Liz can definitely be a chatter box but we loved it! She just put is in a comfortable spot the minute we stepped inside her house. Her smile is infectious and she the owner of a good heart so you will oversee any tiny bits, if any. Property is a nice little place to crash and rest. Liz was happy to give us guidance when we needed, always on her toes to help and especially to cook for us homely menu.Cannot really think of anything much….probably the hot and cold water mixer in the washbasin in the washroom.

We booked the Family Suite at Gordon House and it's big enough to be called an apartment. Les is a warm and friendly host. Her Scottish breakfast with salmon was totally delicious. She also offers dinner if guests wish to eat in. I highly recommend Gordon House. Comfortable, warm and friendly.
