I had the haggis, neeps and tatties, which was absolutely delicious. After ordering our food at the bar it didn’t take long before we could enjoy our food. The tables could be cleaner though. Our table was sticky and hadn’t been cleaned in a while.

Kareen is such a warm and welcoming person, who makes you feel right at home. She is the perfect hostess and gave us some great tips to view the area of Glencoe. The room we stayed in was clean, with a great rain shower! Breakfast was very good. I loved the fresh fruit salad and the greek yoghurt and the cooked breakfast was also very delicious. We got the chance of meeting the other guests while taking breakfast together at the big dining room table. Very pleseant to be able to exchange stories. The location nearby the lake is also perfect!

I can definitely recommend this B&B!

I’m sorry but a tapas restaurant that serves stir fried rice instead of paella shouldn’t be called authentic. The rice wasn’t even yellow! I guess they forgot to add saffron. It was clear to me that the paella wasn’t prepared following the original recipe (there should be a crust on the bottom). The other tapas were fine, but it came as a suprise to me that they added orange juice to their sangria. The atmosphere was nice though.

We spent some time on Mull during our holiday and ended up in this restaurant, because we both love Thai food. The menu offers a mixture of Chinese and Thai food. I ordered the Thai mussels as a starter and a Chinese seafood platter as main course. With the main course I got rice with mushrooms. The waiter was very friendly and super helpful. The food was great. I especially enjoyed the mussels, which were big and very good. The food was presented beautifully en tasted even better. When we finished our meal we got a free whisky on the house. I can definitely recommend this place.

We stayed in this beautiful place for two nights. All the nice comments are well deserved. Cat & Toby are warm and welcoming people (and the little puppy was super cute!), who made us feel right at home. The room was stunning with a beautiful view. The breakfast was delicious (I had the pancakes and the omelet with salmon). I would definitely stay here again and was sorry to say goodbye to this lovely place. Highly recommended.

Lovely B&B with a very special atmosphere. The owner is a very friendly guy who made us feel super welcome. The room was very spacious and the bathroom very clean. We loved the fact that the B&B was situated in the town center. We ate in a lovely pub, just two minutes walking from the B&B. Also make sure to visit Melrose Abbey, it’s only five minutes walking.

Breakfast was great! We, of course, had the traditionally Scottish breakfast with haggis. Everything was perfect. We ate from blue antique porcelin dishes in a breathtaking dining room with lots of arts and antiques. The whole house is decorated with art you will enjoy.

The only suggestion for improvement: provide wifi for your customers.

Would definitely recommand this B&B!

We ordered the fresh seafood dish, but got a plate of fried fish and scampi, so it was impossible to taste if the fish was actually fresh or not. The food was okay, but certainly not memorable.

Very nice and clean B&B. We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, the room was beautiful, the bed comfy and the bathroom very clean. We had a sunny breakfast for two in a very cosy room with a large window facing the lovely garden. Breakfast was traditional and very good: I had fresh fruit with yoghurt and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs. I can definitely recommand this B&B.
