We had a lovely stay with Heather and Craig. Room 1 was ground floor, quite roomy and very comfortable. We enjoyed our evening meal which after dining out for a couple of weeks during our trip it felt like a perfect home cooked meal. We liked the options for breakfast and once again enjoyed our selections.

Very limited options in this part of Scotland so I didn't have any great expectations prior to arriving, but was pleasantly surprised. Yes it is a bit tired looking in places, but looking past that, and far more important, it is welcoming, clean, comfortable and serves very good food. Everything you could want after a long day travelling or walking. The hosts are very dedicated and great to chat with. I would have happily stayed longer and would have no issues with staying there again should I be in the area.
