Fine if you don't mind excessive rules

First the positive points. This B&B is in a modern house that is very clean and well furnished. The views down to the loch from our room were stunning. Our breakfast each morning was fresh and very well cooked, although we did have to ask for a second cup of coffee each day. To receive the breakfast, though, you must complete a page long menu of options daily, and turn this in by 6:30 p.m. We were also asked to not wear shoes in the house, I suppose to cut down on dirt or mud being brought in. We had read there was a mud room to change out of wet clothing, but this turned out to be a plastic bin left in the entry that the owner took back into the private living area. There is no common area to gather with friends with the exception of your rooms. Those rooms were often rather cold, though. You have no control over individual thermostats. The heat seemed to come on for a few hours each night, but was always off by the time we woke in the morning. You are asked not to wash out any clothing in your bathroom, a rule we have never seen in our travels. There is a 7 pound fee for a load of laundry, but we were informed this service was provided only at the owners' schedule, and that they were definitely not a laundry. As I've seen in some other reviews, we never felt really welcome here. It is like living in the basement of strangers who also provide you breakfast. This is a beautiful area, but we will look for other lodging our next visit.

Excellent B&B with very friendly owners. Rooms immaculate and large - more than we expected, with en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room. The views from the Breakfast Room are absolutely stunning.

Me and my husband stayed 2 nights at Highland View. Having stopped at other B & B's over the week this was by far the best. The room - Highland Fling, was extremely spacious beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean with a huge queen size bed and a large modern bathroom with a wonderful walk in shower and lovely hot water. Everything had been thought of including a full sized hairdryer,iron and ironing board. The view from our breakfast table overlooking the loch was breathtaking and our full Scottish breakfast first class. Karen and Colin were the perfect hosts and recommended a few local places to eat one of which was the Holly Tree Hotel situated 5 minutes drive away and situated on the loch side. We had a fabulous evening meal again with a stunning view. I doubt anyone could find fault with this wonderful well run B & B and have no trouble recommending this to anyone. Thank you again hope to be back some time I'm sure.

Lovely B&B, great welcome by Karen and the room exceeded our expectations, huge bathroom with free standing bath with wasn't expected. Views were amazing from our room and nothing too much trouble. We will definitely return, a hidden gem!

We recently stayed for 6 nights at Highland View B&B and had a very comfortable stay. Hosts Karen and Colin were welcoming and informative and would gladly give us tips and advice each morning for best restaurants and places to visit during our stay. They knew the area well and helped us find some wonderful places.

Our room (Loch Leven) had wonderful views of the mountains and loch, was large, clean and smartly decorated. The bed was comfortable, bedding and towels clean. The bathroom was absolutely huge with a large roll-top bath, this was a luxurious touch, but for us personally a shower would have been more convenient. Indeed the bathroom is large enough to have one. A personal preference only and not a criticism.

The breakfast room had great views too and Karen's breakfasts were fresh and tasty, her scrambled eggs with smoked salmon are the best I've tasted! Breakfast times were 8am or 8.30am which felt somewhat early for our needs, we would rather have had a later choice as in other B&B's.

Karen and Colin are delightful generous hosts. Karen went the extra mile for my birthday by decorating our room with fairy lights and balloons and leaving me chocolates and a card when we returned from a rather soggy visit to Mull. It really cheered me up and made me chuckle!

The location of Highland View B&B is ideal for visits to Fort William, Oban and the Islands and further afield.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place, an excellent stay with excellent hosts.

Room tip: Loch Leven has excellent views and large bath.
