This is a great location with beautiful views of Loch Ness, but without the crowds. There is a pleasant walk through the woods to Foyers Falls and the village cafe that starts in the guest house driveway.  …

What a delightful place! Chris and Elly made us all feel so welcome and cared for. The food was universally excellent and I learned that I liked Scotch Whiskey (thank you for the education, Chris). Might I add that there was a lovely, fat badger and sweet robin sound. The beds are comfortable and I wish that we could have stayed longer. An added kudo: I accidentally left several items of wool clothing and they took the extra effort to ship them back to me back in the States. It was my favorite stay in Scotland!

A warm welcome, good food, really clean, and amazing animals and view from the dining room. Elly and Chris catered really well for all my dietary issues. They work really hard to make this place special. Needed more than one night to fully appreciate all it has to offer.

Slightly dated guest house. Food was ok but expensive for the quality, and not available at the weekend. Had a curfew - first time I’ve ever been sent to bed ! And it was only 23.30 |Owners are friendly and the place is quite clean despite cats having the run of the lounge .
