+It was a great pleasure to stay in this B&B. Excellent location on the shore. Very nice authentic retro house with amazing interior where every detail serves to the ambience. Brandon was an exceptional host who looked after us and considered our preferences. Breakfast was great - especially with a classical music on the background. We had a very peaceful stay.

“A real gem, we will be back.”
+An old property that we’re told has been in the family for 100+ years, now in the possession of a young family, who were extremely friendly and accommodating. The views from the (sea-view) rooms are exceptional. I particularly liked the bistro table and chairs (and the massive bed) in the huge bedroom, the former being positioned right by the window so you could enjoy the complimentary Yorkshire Tea with a stunning view of the Loch. Breakfast was first class too, full Scottish preceded by fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals; properly set us up for our day ahead. An easy 15 minute drive to the ferry to Ireland. I’m very precious about where I park my car (a target for vandals - and seagulls too - but neither were a problem here with great off street parking.
−No complaints whatsoever.
