A lovely place! Stayed here for one night with a couple of musician friends while on tour in Scotland. Such a warm and comfortable place. Rooms were immaculate and very homely. Scott the owner made us feel so welcome and cooked us up a lovely breakfast exactly how we wanted it. Can’t recommended highly enough and will stay again next time we’re in the area. Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant place, owner is awesome and if you ever need a good recommendation for a nice single malt, they have the connection! Breakfast was amazing. Rook was comfortable. Highly recommend and I will be using again. Safe parking too.

The owner was so friendly and welcoming, rooms very clean, beds and mattress so comfortable, toilet and bathroom clean, kettele and tea and coffee were there, so you cam make yourself, it was a bit noisy for us, couldn't sleep well just because of that, it's not their fault though. We are sensitive to noise. But overall, it was good. The Scotish breakfast was nice, too. Freshly prepared

This is a super place to stay if you are wanting to tour the area.( Can recommend the Kelpies,) A very welcoming host. Nothing is too much trouble for Scott & family. Spacious room, lovely comfortable bed, a very hearty breakfast with plenty of choices. After a long journey I had arrived at Herdshill earlier than planned but was allowed into my room to refresh ( far better than some of the more corporate hotels that would have insisted on the set time). Would certainly recommend and would visit again.
