We stayed at Rachel's place for 2 nights, which was too short. First, we were greeted by two amazing dogs. Then, Rachel made us tea and we enjoyed the garden of Balvraid Lodge. The pub nearby was great. Rachel made the most delicious breakfast. This was by far our best stay in Schotland. Thank you so much Rachel!

Try as we could, we could not find anything that we did not like.

A very friendly and professional couple run this place, and its 4,000-acre sheep farm.The bedrooms and common rooms are furnished in a top-quality country house style. The log fires in the sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room were lit each day. The lodge is a beautiful building owned by the same family for many generations.The quality of the breakfast was equivalent to what you would get in a four or five star hotel. The lodge is in a very peaceful area, but well located for history enthusiasts (Culloden and its visitor centre), Loch Ness and Inverness.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Beautiful castle, which has hardly changed since its construction, except that it is equipped with every luxury on the inside. Location in the middle of nature, a few km from civilization, you are almost alone. Very quiet area, you only hear the sounds of nature around you. Wonderful for walking, in both the woods and hills, and the castle's dog is more than happy to walk with you, which is great. Hostess is extremely nice and helpful. Reception with a wonderfully delicious piece of home-baked cake, and apart from the beautiful spacious private room with beautiful spacious toilet and shower, there is the opportunity to sit in a super cozy guesthouse, with lovely plush furniture and loaded with fun from the past. In fact, you can say that everything about this stay is 100% great. Never experienced anything like this before.

That we didn't book more nights...

We liked everything! James and Rachel are sensational hosts and provided us with the probably best B&B in Scotland. Starting with tea and cake for welcoming us to the great breakfast. Personal recommendations for food and trips were given, as well as die in the salon for a night cap. Thank you!

Everything was wonderful! Could not be happier.

Beautiful property! Super friendly and helpful hosts. They go above and beyond. The house is very well maintained. Excellent wifi! Breakfast is delicious — especially the lemon cake. We wish we could have stayed longer.

I can’t think of a thing.

This property was rich with authentic Scottish architecture and decor. A welcoming caretaker with a witty sense of humor. Couldn’t have been more inviting.

Everything was perfect. Location a little remote. But again Rachael gave us perfect directions

I can’t say enough about Rachael ,James, Margo and Nell(dogs). We loved every second there. Rachael gave us daily directions and suggestions for the days adventures. Her breakfast was amazing. I cannot say enough.

There was nothing we didn't like, except we would like to have stayed longer!

Genuine, friendly, engaging hostess. Lovely breakfast, good recommendation for eating out, and extra homely comfortable touches - a roaring log fire, comfy furniture, and a herbal tea!

There was not one thing I didn’t like.

The property and home are beautiful. There was a fire burning in the lounge each night and in the dining room each morning. The breakfast was amazing! The host was more than accommodating. She carried our luggage up & allowed us to combine breakfast items when we couldn’t decide on just one. This place would be hard to beat!

Absolutely spectacular location away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The properties are incredibly well-maintained with pheasant and other wildlife plentiful.

Location was beautiful! Breakfast was excellent and the welcome and attention from the hostess was amazing. We loved the spacious kitchen facilities and the sitting room with open fire. It was far beyond our expectations, a great experience.

I loved that it was homely and welcoming. It was good to be able to use a fully equipped kitchen to be able to prepare an evening meal. A great place to wind down whilst on the go travelling.

Everything! Rachael, the hostess, was so very welcoming and lovely. The freshly baked cake with tea each day , in front of the fire was special. The whole home was warm, comfy, like a home away from home. We so enjoyed the delicious breakfasts too. The use of the spacious kitchen was great when we ate in. A truly gracious hostess in a beautiful home!
