    Arisaig Anniversary

    The Library saved a last minute anniversary search. Each course was so good. My wife gave the ultimate praise: I think this is the best vege meal I have had - and no cheese ! So praise indeed. Lovely intimate wee place.

    Amazing views and top notch food!

    Room 5, views over the sea and to the islands - beautiful! Good water pressure in the shower (very important!) and excellent food served for both dinner (venison) and breakfast. I would very happily stay again to explore the amazing west coast more fully!
