Wonderful host. Room was very comfortable and clean, as was the bathroom downstairs from the room. Nice breakfast of cereals, cheese, yogurt, juice, and excellent coffee. Host was knowledgeable about the area. She was as available when needed, but we had our privacy. Highly recommend

We were looking desperately for a place to sleep and found a spot at their B&B. We arrived super late in the evening but Juliet and her son welcomed us providing such warm, clean and cozy room to rest peacefully. She toured us through the breakfast room and provided with free towels, hair drier and bathroom soap. Thanks so much, we will never forget their hospitality!

A very cute room, with a lovely a dedicated hostess, in a perfect location to head out to the Loch. And a little bench outside! The only down side is that the bathroom is outside the room and one floor down (might not be the case if your room is on floor level I guess), but it's still private, one bathroom per room. Really recommend!

We absolutely loved this place! My boyfriend and I stumbled into this cute little cottage on our way from the Great Glen Way, hoping to find somewhere to sleep and were lucky. Since all other guests had apparently checked out, we had the full selection and picked one of the King Size Suites. The room was lovely, cozy and perfectly clean with a huge bathroom. The breakfast was exceptionally delicious, though 'just' a continental breakfast. The owner was lovely and cared for us really attentively. She even washed our clothes for the small fee of 5£. The prizes are fair, actually I'd call it cheap, considering what you get! Overall we loved our stay there and would totally recommend it!

A very clean accommodation in the center of the village. We experienced very good service which made us feel very relaxed. A nice continental breakfast the highlight being the apple juice freshly squeezed from apples growing in the garden. Check out the hand crafted wooden carvings, they have some beautiful pieces for sale.

We had a lovely stay at The Glen bed & breakfast. The hostess was very welcoming and dedicated, our room was cozy with hot drinks available. The place was very clean and calm which allowed us to really relax. It is at the heart of Drumnadrochit and not far from the Uquhart castle & restaurants. We really recommend it.

Super 1 night stay in a spacious ground floor room. Our host was very welcoming and made us feel at home. Our continental style breakfast had lots of options and was very tasty. The B&B was well placed to access pubs and visitor attractions. We booked a Loch Ness boat tour whilst we were here.
