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.

We stayed here as part of our journey from Land's End to John o'Groats. Lovely welcome from the owner with use of a locked workshop for our bikes. Great to have a tasty evening meal there too.

Here's a more polished version of your message: "Heather and Craig are outstanding hosts, and their warmth and love for hosting guests is truly evident. The breakfast is excellent, with a fresh homemade fruit salad that adds a personal touch. We stayed in the family room, which was very clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The beds were comfortable, and the ensuite met all our needs."

Homely, family-run inn offering excellent bed and breakfast. Our room was comfortable and brightly decorated and had an en suite shower room. Breakfast was excellent. We also dined at the bar/restaurant adjoining the B&B, which offers a good menu of delicious food prepared and cooked on the premises at reasonable prices. The bar is well stock with a wide variety of drinks.
