+Nothing Very disappointing
−Very disappointing experience , I would not recommend this hotel I booked a stay for two people at this hotel and received a confirmation email. However, when we arrived late at night after a long journey, we were told that someone else had already checked in and that there was no room available for us. The accommodation itself was also very disappointing. It was extremely smelly and felt more like an abandoned house than a proper hotel. The host told us to go to the village and look for alternative accommodation, but unfortunately, we could not find anywhere nearby with a room available. As it was already very late at night and there were no nearby hotels with availability, the whole situation became extremely stressful and exhausting, especially after such a long journey. We had to call several hotels in the area, but because it was so late, most of them were not answering. Eventually, someone answered and, although they did not have a room available themselves, they kindly contacted another hotel and managed to find a room for us. Unfortunately, the alternative accommodation was about an hour away. It was raining heavily, and the journey took us through dark country roads and a

“Thoroughly enjoyable.”
+Location was quiet whilst being close to the amenities and destinations we were after. The host-Graham was helpful, affable and considerate. The venue allowed us the opportunity to mix with other guests or to have our privacy as we chose.

+Graham was fantastic! Very welcoming and helpful. We had been wild camping and he offered to wash and dry our clothes on site for us, and we collected the clothes the next morning. He was also very accomodating with our dietary needs, he went out of his way to purchase gluten free food and cooked a seperate breakfast suitable for celiacs. Would stay again.

“On Meeting the owner it took him 10 minutes to come and greet us and was only 15 feet from us , was dressed in chiefs at”
+Nothing , outside building was a disgrace, tools and other crap lying about
−Tools and a very rough garden area not inviting at all, even neighbours had issues . The breakfast was supposed to be the best “Scottish breakfast” I’ve ever had his words!! It was as crap. I cover the country with my work and this is definitely the worst place I’ve stayed. It certainly is not disability friendly or child friendly . Please folks avoid like the plague . I’m not photos on it didn’t warrant the time taking the photos .

“Loved it”
+As we where using the Ben View as a jumping point to visit the area for the price and location it was perfect the owner Grahame was courteous and very helpful, the breakfast was excellent and there where choices but you where allowed to take anything you wanted from the continental and still have a cook one.
−The only thing missing was a bar but Grahame said he's hoping for one for next year however their was a local shop 5 minutes away by car which has a good selection of beers

“Not recommend for your own safety and comfort!”
−We do not recommend this place. When we arrived we unfortunately found the owner incoherent and inibrated. Due to the status of his condition he literally could not respond or get up from the sofa to check-us in. The surrounding neighbors informed us that this has been a problem for the past 3 years and multiple efforts have been made to inform booking.com to not list this property in their listings. That same night we met a family of four who also had reservations at this place. We were left scrambling to find another place to stay at with little wifi/internet connection. We were told by booking.com that we would be receiving a confirmation of a new reservation but then received an email saying we had to secure it ourselves. There were no more stays in the area and luckily found a stay about 45 minutes away. To say it was a jarring experience is kindly put. We feel for the owner as we understand this illness is complicated however this could all had been avoided if booking.com had delisted this place a long time ago.
