"Loved this quaint BnB. Very nice and helpful owners. Really cater to the special needs of travelers. Absolutely loved the Applecross area and plan to go back again and explore more. Would definitely stay here again."
"The hotel staff was extremely courteous. The lady on the front desk went out of her way to help us secure multiple rooms as close together as possible. Just an amazing experience overall. The folks that left negative feedback in the past need to revisit the hotel."
"We enjoyed our stay here. Got a surprise at it was a bigger hotel than a bed and breakfast but regardless it was very clean and tidy. Good shower and clean amenities, drying room was handy. Breakfast and location was really good."
"We had a lovely refurbished room overlooking the bay. I hadn’t expected it to be as nice as it was. Are in the hotel at night, lots of vegetarian choices. Great stay; I will book here the next time we need to come to Gairloch"
