Not knowing quite where to stop for one night on our way from Glasgow to Skye, my sister and I chose Cuilcheanna House for convenience and availability more than anything. So what a lovely surprise to discover a really lovely B&B that set us up perfectly for our Highland adventure.
The sun was still shining as we drove from the main road (so easy to find) down to the B&B, nesteld on the loch shore. We were shown to our delightful twin room, very tastefully decorated in white and blue with a fabulous view of the loch. A quick cup of coffee (fresh milk provided) and a home-made cookie and we headed straight down to the loch where we were lucky enough to see two otters playing on the shore.
We headed to a pub a short drive away for a very pleasant (nothing flashy) evening meal. This would be the only drawback, nowhere within walking distance to dine, but that's what having a hire car is for I guess.
The bed was a definite highlight (after the scenery of course) - padded matress protector, feather pillow and duvet... a fabulous squishy nest for the night.
Sadly the shower was only a trickle, but I guess slow plumbing in a big old house like this is par for the course.
Last but not least, breakfast. Delicious scrambled eggs and smoked salmon set me up perfectly for the day ahead.
All in all, having had relatively modest expectations of our staging post, we were really delighted by our stay. It would be so easy to shoot through Onich by car and not realise quite what a lovely place is nestled just below the main road.
