Loch Ness Lodge

Inverness

10/10 Excellent

Tonya

A large white house with a grey roof, multiple chimneys, and a well-maintained lawn.

Glenegedale House

Islay Island

10/10 Excellent

Emma was an amazing host. The property was clean, the host was welcoming, and the breakfast was superb with a variety of fresh fruits and muffins to go with your main dish. (Definitely say yes to the porridge!!) Be aware, the property is not near any shops or... anything at all, really. It’s a proper country house surrounded by beautiful nature (and right in front of a bus stop) so if you want to eat out or get groceries you’ll have to plan for it as the closest store is 4-5 miles away. All in...

Jeremy

A beach with the words "GRANBANK NEWS EST 2021" written in the sand.

Grainbank Mews

Kirkwall

10/10 Excellent

What a lovely stay! Albert and Aileen run a beautiful B&B - spotless, quiet, and so conveniently located. Albert was very helpful, offering to answer any questions even after we checked out. We also got to meet their dog which was very welcome after nearly two weeks away from our own. I’m not usually a B&B person but I would definitely stay again. And I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone to give it a try.

Holly

A wooden deck with outdoor seating, a door, and a window.

Celtic Lodges

Thurso

10/10 Excellent

Kim

A room with a wicker sofa, a wooden chair, a floor lamp, and a view of a rural landscape through large windows.

Brae Lea Guest House

South Uist

10/10 Excellent

Brae Lea is far more than one would expect. The location is a short walk to the Ferry Terminal at Lochboisdale - yet driving from the north, you feel as if you’re nestled in the foothills of a mountain (because you are). Rupert is an outstanding host, and he doubles as a 5-Star concierge. He helped us sort travel and touring arrangements as well as made breakfast and suggested dinner options. The Brae Lea accommodations are also top drawer. Clean - efficient - spacious - inviting. Full marks...

Robert

St Duthus Villa Guesthouse

Tain

10/10 Excellent

Luis

A modern wooden cabin with a curved roof, a double door, and two wall-mounted lights.

Atholl House Skye

Dunvegan

10/10 Excellent

Maria

A coastal landscape with a sandy beach, grassy dunes, and a path leading to the beach.

Links House at Royal Dornoch

Dornoch

10/10 Excellent

The Links Hotel is beautiful, well decorated and comfortable. We stayed in the newer building and when we walked into our room my first response was how much I loved the colors. Our room had a view of Royal Dornoch Golf Course. The bed was comfortable, the sitting area very nice and situated to the view. The huge bathroom was spacious and luxurious. We arrived to two little glass bottles of an Auld Fashioned with shortbread—yummy! There is an espresso machine and tea service outside the rooms...

Denise

A coastal landscape with a pebbly beach, calm water, and distant mountains.
