We only stayed one night on our way home from Orkney, but Esther and Steve made us very welcome. Our room was spotless, well-appointed and beautiful. we also had use of a lovely lounge where an excellent breakfast was served. The garden is absolutely glorious and I just wish we'd had time for a little wander. We'll definitely come back... More

If you love beautiful gardens, you must stay at Bumblebee Cottage! Esther and Steve have created a masterpiece of "garden rooms" that flow together around their charming cottage. Our bedroom and large bathroom were so comfortable, and it was lovely to have our own sitting room where breakfast was served in the morning overlooking the garden. We would love to... More

Another stay at the Bumblebee Cottage and it was as wonderful as we remembered it from our last stay. Steve and Esther are the perfect hosts. Breakfast was locally produced fare and home made jams, thoroughly excellent. Great to have your own private living room too. Only down side was the idiot-proof instructions for the shower were not proof against... More

Bumblebee Cottage is a great place to stay. Esther and Steve are the perfect hosts, friendly, helpful, but not intrusive in any way. The accommodation is wonderful, very clean and spacious with an extremely comfy bed, and plenty of lovely fluffy towels in the bathroom. There are lots of nice touches like bottled water, milk in a little flask, and... More

We had a great time staying at Bumblebee Cottage and meeting Esther and Steve was a real pleasure. We were made to feel as welcome as any B and B I have ever stayed in and the breakfast was a sight to behold! Put that together with the lovely room and location, I cannot recommend this nugget of Highland hospitality... More

A warm welcome from Esther to our own personal suite of bedroom, lounge and bathroom (bath AND shower!). All extras thought of......fresh milk in a wee flask, bottled water and biscuits. Tasteful and cosy. Delicious breakfast cooked in the arga with proper FRIED BREAD and eggs laid by their own chicks. Homemade preserves and yummy honey from their own hives.... More

Bumblebee cottage is a lovely place. The one room in the cottage is lovely and has it's own guest lounge - it all makes for a great peaceful experience. As mentioned by others the garden is a real delight - a visitor attraction in it's own right; the produce from the garden, bees and chickens is excellent. The breakfast was... More
