Julie and Julian were so welcoming, we stayed 3 nights during our honeymoon tour of the west coast of Scotland, we were given a bottle of bubbly and freshly baked scones on arrival. We had some fantastic days exploring the area thanks to Julie's local knowledge, nothing was too much trouble. It was like staying with friends. The dinning room... More

Julie and Julian's attention to detail is unsurpassed from the home made scones on arrival to the bath rope and slippers. Nothing is to much trouble even a take away breakfast for our unfortunate very early start when we reluctantly had to leave beautiful wester Ross. Fantastic garden room very clean and everything thing we needed was provided. Both the... More

From the moment we arrived everything in The Old Smiddy was excellent. Julie and Julian gave us a warm welcome with the offer of tea and homemade shortbread ( which was delicious), even although there were tea and coffee making facilities available in our room.This has never happened to me before and I felt so welcomed by it. We were... More

It's a superb B&B. You can tell when the owners enjoy and care about their place and it showed at the Old Smiddy. The attention to detail was much appreciated. It's very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious as well. Only complaint is the uncomfortable beds. Laide and the surrounding towns were absolutely lovely. More

Once settled in our room we went through to the lounge where freshly baked scones and a pot of tea were waiting for us - ideal for tired & hungry cyclists. A magnificient home cooked meal followed later that... More

Hi, just back from a 2 night stay at the Old Smiddy and thought it was excellent, we stayed in the Garden Room which has a huge bed, en-suite shower room and a sitting area with a view over the garden and the surrounding hills. The room was spotless with all the facilities you need. The food was superb, with... More

My elderly mother and I made the trip to Laide because of the reviews we read on TripAdvisor....and we were not disappointed. We arrived after a long day of travelling. Both Julie and Julian were inviting and hospitable...helping us with luggage, bringing us coffee and scones to our room, recommending local sights to see and explore....we felt relaxed and at...
