Absolutely beautiful spot, immaculately clean, welcoming and convenient for access both into the island and back onto the mainland; a really convenient base for exploration and a relaxing, quiet spot to return to after a busy day outside.

I am surprised by all these reviews which speak of a friendly welcome when we were received by 1 post-it which gave us our room number.We were able to see the owner at breakfast but to speak of a warm welcome would be incorrect.The breakfast is not at all Scottish even if the products are correct.Special feature of our room: no mirror above the sink, it is located on another section of the wall. 1 new way to shave 😁

July 2024, two nights.Booked by official website, got a reference number, but not much further confirmation email. Everything went well during the stay, especially surprised by the maintenance of modern furniture and facilities. No hot food and refrigerator in room, but breakfast have good amount of buffet options. We love the pancakes.

Quietly located, beautiful B&B with a wonderful view of the water. Simple but tasty breakfast buffet (no warm options such as scrambled eggs, etc.). Super nice and renovated rooms with a large bathroom. …

Got an email saying only cash payments are accepted couple days before my check in date, even though in their website, they mentioned they take card payments. Update: Got an email from Anne after leaving the review, I’m glad that I’m not going to stay there, awful place
