Very clean. Ideal stop over for the Jacobite steam train. Liz is very helpful and friendly. Shame there is no breakfast.

Great shower (quite small though) comfortable bed. Friendly hostess. Now covid restrictions are "below zero", I was expecting a lovely Scottish breakfast with toast and tea. Instead it was an instant porridge pot, tea and coffee available. My friend phoned to book, breakfast arrangements weren't mentioned, now I know why. Disappointing.

Great bed and breakfast. Room was spotless. Plenty of variety of teas and decaf coffee. Even had my fave Earl gray! Liz was lovely, let me borrow her jug so I could make my flask up for a long hike in Glencoe. Great location on the banks of loch Linnhe. Because of covid liz had arranged some porridge pots for breakfast which was a nice touch. She even had soya milk in too. Great place and would highly recommend and stay again next time Im hiking in the Highlands

Lovely guesthouse, owner Liz was very welcoming and friendly. Due to covid restrictions self check in system in place. Room was well presented and spotlessly clean and bed was so comfortable. Only downside was we were told after we had booked that breakfast wouldn't be provided due to covid restrictions, which left us trying to find something in town before catching our train. However, would definitely recommend and would return again
