“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

I stayed there one cold night in November and it was a great experience. The lady who owns the house was super friendly and she offered us Hot tea and coffee upon our arrival. The rooms were extremely clean and the breakfast amazing with lots of scottish options. I really loved it there. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone going to Scotland's Loch Lomond

Fantastic welcome. Really comfortable rooms. Extensive breakfast menu superbly cooked & presented. Ella our 4 yr.old Labrador welcomed by resident Lab. Oscar. If ever travelling to the far north this is the place to overnight. Walking distance to hotels with seriously good evening menus.

“Highly recommend staying here”

We received a warm and genuinely friendly welcome from Andrea and John including a very welcome pot of tea (and posh biscuits) as soon as we walked through the door. Our stay was short but enjoyable.

The room was clean, attractive and comfortable with everything you could possibly want. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

We can confidently recommend this great B&B, a class act.

“EXCELLENT B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

Good location a reasonable distance from the centre and the train station. Hosts made us feel extremely welcome and although they got our booking dates wrong they more than compensated with their friendly personal service and couldn't do enough to compensate for the mistake. Room wasn't the room we wanted because of the mistake but was still a lovely clean comfortable room. Breakfast was the real highlight with a fantastic choice available and the best kippers we've ever tasted! Very good value for money and would definitely recommend it as a place to stay, one of the best B&Bs we have stayed at.

You are made very welcome from the moment you arrive. Room was a reasonable size; bed comfortable. Breakfasts good. Bonus was the guest lounge which you are positively encouraged to use
