“Within 5 minutes we knew we would return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Firstly I would like to thank Jacquie and Mike for the lovely stay we had in your welcoming home last weekend. It's great staying in a place that you look forward to returning to after a long day out, it becomes part of the whole holiday experience. J&M are great hosts and their Highland hospitality is second to none. Everything was so nice and high quality we actually wondered at one point if we had got the price wrong and it was £80 pppn rather than per room! Strawberries in the room, chocolates by the bed, quality toiletries, fridge with water and fresh milk, large flat screen tv and sky, soft towels and bathrobes, breakfast to die for! I planned on trying the eggs benedict on day 2 but after the amazing cooked breakfast on day one I just couldn't tear myself away. Thank you to you both, loved the ketchup and hope you get to see the Panda's at Edinburgh! we will be back, from Ben and Stacy x

Area tips: Glen Hotel in Newtonmore does a good two meals for £25 offer with starters and includes a bottle of wine - google them for pictures. If coming on the train from Edinburgh consider getting the train to the next stop - Kingussie - and getting your taxi there. This could well save you having to change trains at Perth, and the local taxi is based in Kingussie anyway, only 3 miles from Newtonmore (All trains to Inverness seem to stop at Kingussie, only some stop at Newtonmore). Kingussie is only 3 miles away so can be walked easily along a great path/cycle track, if you only want to do it one way get the bus back as that stops much closer to Ard-na-Coille than the train. The bus to Aviemore takes about 30 mins and cost us £10.30 each return. It made a really nice change to leave the car at home, we came up from Hull and the public transport system in Scotland is so good you don't need a car to get around

“If Carlsberg did B&Bs.......”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012 via mobile

Although I don't stay in many B&Bs this was the best I have ever stayed in. Jacqui and Mike could not have been more hospitable. Breakfast was very good and Jacqui takes great pride in the quality of produce and cooking standards. The rooms were more akkin to small hotel suites with table and chairs to relax in, small fridge, DVD player and Sky TV. Comfortable beds with great views from an elevated position above Newtonmore. The village centre is a 10 minute walk. We will return without question.

“"Top Notch " Barbara/Brian”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

We have just stayed at Ard-Na-Coille while on business in the area and what a fantastic place it is !! All the rooms have the WOW factor ! Jacqui and Mike are the perfect hosts. Would have loved to have stayed longer ( a lot longer !) Well worth the 5 stars it has been awarded. The Breakfast was perfect....... We stayed at Ard-Na-Coille some 20 years ago and it was good then! It is now ten times better ! The perfect Guest House, and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

“Just brilliant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

Can't speak highly enough of this place. We booked into the four-poster as it was a special occasion and the room was beautiful. Had a fabulous nights sleep after a game of snooker in the lounge, and woke up to the most incredible breakfast I've ever had after any stay - hotel or b&b.

Jacquie and Mike were great hosts, attentive and friendly, but left us completely to our own devices.

We will be back, and would recommend to anyone who is looking to stay in the area.

Room Tip: Four poster is well worth the extra little bit of money for a special occasion

“The best in all of Scotland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

This is a fabulous B and B. We stayed in September and have been meaning to post this review for months (we often remember the pleasant visit). The room was clean and well appointed with a beautiful view. Jacquie and Mike were very helpful but completely unobtrusive. We appreciated their travel tips. The location was perfect for exploring the local area.The BREAKFAST was FABULOUS - have the poached eggs with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce!!!
