“An Inspiring Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2011
6
people found this review helpful

Pierre-Marie and Christiane were impeccable hosts - warm, welcoming, full to brimming with good advice about walks and helpful statistics about capercaillies! Charming accents, too. They cook lovely, simple meals with the odd special touch here and there. Their B&B sits in a quiet hamlet just off the road from Drumnadrochit to Tomich (avoid the former, visit the latter!) and is a great base for walks, even if (like us) you don't have a car. In case you need another good reason to visit, Pierre-Marie and Christiane are very committed to sustainable living - and offer a nuanced, informed perspective on the ecology of the Highlands. Ask questions!

“A home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2010

We stayed at Shenval for several nights in November. It was my first visit but from the moment we arrived it felt more like staying with friends than in a B and B. After our walks we were welcomed back with tea and biscuits and our wet clothes were whisked away to be dried overnight. Pierre and Christiane went far beyond the call of duty by patiently allowing me to practise my hesitant French on them! The delicious breakfasts and evening meals were just what we needed before and after our wintry walks.
We will be back!!

“a fantastic find”

looking for somewhere to stay close to Glen Affric,we happen to see this lovely B and B sign on the roadside. we were welcomed as friends and given helpful advice where to find good pub food ( the Steading Pub, 1mile away). Christiane and Pierre-Marie are charming hosts, just on the right side of friendliness. The breakfasts are delicious and the cottage is very cosy. A very affordable price too.

“A must if you intend to spend more than one night”

The hospitality of the owners and there knowledge of Highlands will give many opportunities for most interesting sight seeings. Fans of organic food will appreciate
the breakfast before a long walk in one of the glens only a few miles away from Shenval.
Really worth it.

“a quiet and friendly home between Loch Ness and Glen Affric”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2010

people found this review helpful

If you are out exploring the Highlands of Scotland, don't miss Shenval B&B, a quiet place located between Loch Ness and Glen Affric.
I have been staying again this autumn at Shenval B&B (as I do once a year since I first came here long time ago).
The hosts, Christiane and Pierre-Marie Lebrun, are extremely welcoming and friendly. I absolutely love the peaceful and warm atmosphere of their home.
All rooms look out onto the garden and the hills, and you can watch the birds inspecting the currant bushes, or a rabbit taking its morning walk.
Breakfasts are a delight, varied and gorgeous, with fresh homemade bread and jam ; and dinners (if you have chosen to dine) are fabulous.
The nice bedrooms are spotlessly clean and cosy, and the beds so comfortable !
One sleeps well and dreams of the scottish scenery, thanks to the wonderful pictures (made by Pierre-M.) everywhere in the house.
Christiane and Pierre-M are Scotland-lovers and excellent connoisseurs of the area, of its hills and glens, wildlife, history and culture. They offer generously a lot of useful tips to discover the surroundings. Always attentive and caring for their guests, they help me planning my daily outings, and give me good advice to make the best of it.
The only "but" ... is that it is so painful to have to leave at the end of the week and go away...
Happily, I look forward to go back, next spring or autumn
