“I can't believe no-one else has writtren a review”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

It's time Marilyn and Tommy got the accolade that they deserve.
OK the house is a bit wonky but the hospitality is fantastic!

I run a B&B in Kelso (Duncan House) and choose to go to Rivandell for my holidays. The locals and the hosts embrace you and the welcome from the whole community makes the experience totally worthwhile.

Love to Marilyn & Tommy

“Great hospitality and fabulous seafood”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010

This was our second trip to Rivendell this year and it exceeded our expectations second time around.

As a B&B proprietor in the lowlands I have my own standards to compare with, maybe the rooms leave a little to be desired in part but so what. The food is great and the hospitality fantastic. If you enjoy seafood ask for the local crab, lobster or langoutsine - fresh as can be!

Visitors to this part of Wester Ross need to understand that the nearest builders merchant or Tesco involves a 150 mile round trip so if they break something a replacement may not be immediately available.

We will certainly return.

“The location and welcome is what its about...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2010

We were a group of generally well-bahaved and house-trained middle aged bikers who converged on on Tommy and Marylyn's Rivendell Guest House up in the far North west of the Scottish Highlands over the May Bank Holiday weekend 2010.
A fire was burning in the hearth when we arrived and after a cold and wet ride from Glasgow, a hot mug of tea in front of the fire was very welcome.
If you want bland, formulaic luxury it won't be for you !
Tommy is a real Character and his experiences are very entertaining, so
if you are looking for something different, with real interesting people and fabulous location you'll love it. The room was basic but adequate but the great food produced by Tommy and Marylyn more than made up for it. Just along the road about 100 metres walk is a great pub, bar restaurant where we had a belting good night with a two man local Accordion band - absolutely great. Lunch there next day - top marks. The French waiter there is a hoot too!
So, make the effort to get to Ardeonaig, enjoy the place and love the scenery.

We travelled up to Shieldaig for the cycle event and stayed at the guesthouse. The full cooked breakfasts set us up perfectly for the day and the level of service and attention we recieved was superb.
