Nice place, location, free parking, comfortable bed. Honestly it was a really good place to stay, and having good conversations with the host. For breakfast you can go for the traditional British breakfast or salmon/eggs and on top of that you have fruits/yogurt/cereal homemade confiture !! You also have at your disposition a microwave and a fridge.
Nothing, but maybe some people could complain about the narrow bathroom (it didn't bother me)

Delicious breakfast, excellent and friendly hosts, a lot of complementary items in the rooms. I also really appreciated access to the fridge and microwave! Although it’s a little bit out of Glencoe (where most of my activities were), there’s a bus stop almost directly outside so it was very convenient to travel between the locations. Overall and incredible stay and definitely recommend

Gaynor is a wonderful host who truly goes above and beyond to make you feel at home—we felt instantly comfortable upon arrival. The entire place is spotless and beautifully maintained. Breakfast was a highlight, with delicious home-cooked options and an impressive selection of homemade jams. The location is also ideal, just a quick 10-minute drive to Glencoe, making it super convenient for exploring the area. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and convenient location for a one night stay at a cute and cozy (and spotless!) B&B on our journey north. Gaynor is a welcoming, gracious and helpful host who makes you feel right at home with much attention given to details, extras and conveniences. Fun to chat with her in the morning over the delicious, generous breakfast that was served in their cheerful dining room. We look forward to another stay in the future. Thank you!
Nothing not to like. If we were staying more than one night we would have upgraded to the bigger room.

Very good breakfast with lots of choice. The smoked salmon was particularly enjoyed. Excellent location with quick access to Glencoe, Oban and Fort William/Ben Nevis. The Corran Ferry is only a few minutes away with opens up routes to Ardnamurchan and Mull. Room was very comfortable. Gaynor is a wonderful host.
Nothing really, everything I'd expect for a B&B.

Hosts were VERY helpful and friendly! Finn (the chocolate lab) was a wonderful bonus! Delicious breakfast. Beautiful walk thru forest to small, rocky beach. Wonderful pub nearby (walking distance) with outdoor patio and great views! We had had a rough travel day upon arrival and the hosts were extra kind/understanding and "saved" our day (and our next)!
Other guests used the picnic table outside our window to smoke and had to shut the window a few times (was only there for one night and forgot to mention to hosts). Had some transportation issues with the local bus service.

Gaynor and Mike were very friendly and welcoming. The guesthouse is superbly situated on Loch Linnhe. Great for visiting Glencoe, Fort William, Ben Nevis, and travelling the Argyll coastal route. Gaynor has lots of knowledge about local places to visit too. The rooms are clean and comfortable with everything you'd need and a tuck shop!. Breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt, toast and the usual hot full Scottish breakfast. Porridge is also available. The TV's had built in DVD players, and there was a choice of movies to watch, if the weather is bad! There is parking available. Lovely restaurants within a 5-minute drive (best to book, Gaynor can advise). Great quiet b&b. Highly recommended.
There was nothing we didn't like!

Gaynor was a very welcoming host and nothing was too much trouble for her. The room was well equipped and extremely comfortable. Tea, coffee and biscuits and even a tub of sweets in our room, were topped up daily. There was a Guest fridge to place our own drinks etc and an honesty shop providing crisps, chocolate chilled drinks etc . Packed lunches were provided on request and were exceptional good value. Excellent breakfasts cooked by Mike and plenty of variety with fresh fruit and yoghurts.
Nothing.
