Arrived in the evening to a very welcoming John who gave us great recommendations for dinner in the village. Returned to a couple of quit gins in front of the fire with Elaine before retiring to a fantastic nights sleep. Sensational breakfast prepared by John capped off our short visit perfectly. Would have stayed another night if we had had... More

“perfect getaway”

Reviewed 1 November 2011

Elaine and John have set up a magnificent bed&breakfast, providing all the modern cons without compromising the quaintness and real homeliness of the area and their own home. They provide different breakfast options for each morning, all cooked wonderfully by John, are incredibly generous with their knowledge of the area. They feed the birds each morning, and it's like you're... More

“Serene location with clean and comfortable rooms”

Reviewed 18 October 2011

We stayed overnight at this place in September enroute to the isle of Skye and loved it. Although finding this B&B isn't exactly a cinch, we managed to do so without backtracking. It's 2 miles from the centre of Fort Augustus which, incidentally, was a pleasant little village at the southern tip of Loch Ness. Elaine was very pleasant and... More

“Wonderful stay - wish it were longer”

Reviewed 30 September 2011

Our stay with Elaine and John was fantastic! We arrived much later than standard check in hours due to car trouble and they were up to greet us regardless. Elaine was especially patient with all my late night phone calls asking for directions (the forest location is very quaint but hard to find at night, even with a GPS). The... More

Stayed one night at the Mavisburn on my recent motorcycle tour of Scotland. The place is not the easiest to find, being along a single track forest drive about a couple of miles out of Fort Augustus. Having said that, it is worth finding! Owners John and Elaine have an idillic location and do a great job running an excellent... More

“Felt right at home!”

Although truly out of the way, it was the perfect place to re-energize and get my calm back (I teach, say no more). Elaine and John, owners of this cozy and lovely establishment, were absolute angels. The room, I had the single, was neat as a pin and didn't lack for amenities. And even though I had a TV and...
