My girlfriend and I stayed for three nights in December, after some heavy snowfall and the famed "Hurricane Bawbag" the previous week. We couldn't have hoped for a better stay, from the hospitality of Anne to the lovely room and views across Loch Linnie, to the superb breakfasts (I started with the fry-up but was addicted to the Toasted Muffin...

Great breakfast menu.Our luggage was even transported to the station for us, did not know about that service when we booked but it was very welcome. It... More

Everything about the b&b was extremely well organised and we recieved the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. I couldn't have enjoyed the stay more. It was gay-friendly and perfect. More

We spent two nights in this B&B and we have a very positive experience. The room was good, the hosts very friendly and helpful. It's very close to the centre of Fort William and they drop your bags off at the station for free. Highly recommended. More

My friend and I stayed here in April 2012. We we very pleased with the service. Booking was very easy. We ended up with a third person who joined us for breakfast each morning but did not stay at the B&B. The mistress of the house was very accommodating and lovely and our friend was welcomed for breakfast with us... More

This is the best B&B we stayed in during our entire trip. After leaving a disappointing experience at the Best Western, we wandered the town and ended up at Braeside House. Unfortunately, Aileen, the hostess, had no rooms, but invited us in and called Gowan Brae to see if they had space. She then sent us down the road to...... More

We stayed here as we were attending a wedding in the Ben Nevis Inn. The Host,Jim gave us a warm, friendly and helpful welcome. The room was clean and warm with all the usual facilities of a Bed and Breakfast. After a very good nights sleep we had a lovely breakfast, well presented and very tasty, served by the hostess...

Fuímos el 19 de enero tres amigos y es el mejor hostal que hemos visto en toda Escocia. La habitación (nº3) es preciosa, grande y acogedora, con buenas vistas. Eramos tres amigos y la habitación solo era para dos, pero nos pusieron una tercera cama para dormir los tres juntos, aunque nos ofrecieron dos habitaciones si queríamos. La atención fué... More

We stayed here on our way to the Isle of Harris. The rooms were clean, well appointed, with a homely atmosphere and we enjoyed a splendid breakafst to send us on our way the next day.

The rooms were clean, I had a room with no ensuite but it was not far away and it was not a shared bathroom. Great views from my room and very clean. Only 5 mins to town which was very handy. Great breakfast and the owners were lovely. Offered to wash our clothes and dry, it came in very handy.... More
