Stayed for one night before hopping on the ferry to skye. Gary made us immediately welcome with tea and homemade shortcake before heading off to do some work. We had the house to ourselves. Our room was fine and had a huge balcony that would have been great had the weather not been horrendous! Instead we decided to spent the... More

This was booked as a surprise honeymoon for my wife (!) and I and it really didn't disappoint. We loved the general atmosphere which was convivial and relaxed, especially with Gary's very amusing stories and the three lovely dogs. The kitchen and lounge were a real treat and I'd echo a previous commenter in saying how lovely it was to... More

Thank you Gary and Ruth for making our short trip so sweet and lovely! We enjoyed everything in you B and B especially all the extra's ;-) The wonderful dogs and the great hospitality that you gave us and our son and his friend when they came to stay for the last night of our visit with you.

I'm a tour guide and travelling through Scotland is my job. First time I booked this BB because it was cheap and pocation was right, it was business trip and I couldn't be really fussy. But in two weeks I brought my family for weekend to Gary and Ruth, because I absolutely loved this place. And it is not just... More

My husband and I stayed at Glencairn in June 2011. As an American we were only familiar with hotels. Staying in B& B's was an entirely new thing for us. Ruth and Gary were so friendly. They both explained how their B&B worked as soon as we arrived. They encouraged us to come into the living room and visit with... More

We think it would be impossible to say enough good things about Glencairn House. The house is beautiful and immaculate, the breakfast is delicious and the area is wonderful but beyond that, Ruth and Gary are such wonderful hosts and made us feel so welcome. There is not one aspect overlooked (there are lovely bath salts in the bathroom and... More

It would be an impossible task to overstate the welcoming feeling we had at Glencairn house. Perhaps the best way to put it is, by the middle of our stay, it wasn’t Glencairn House to us anymore, it was Gary and Ruth’s place. We have stayed in many kinds of accommodations in many countries around the world, and never have... More

I stayed here with my partner for 2 nights and it really made our holiday, couldn't fault a thing. Gary was the ideal, welcomed us with juice and cake and sat an talked to us about things to do in the area etc. Our room was lovely and had a balcony which was an unexpected bonus and the breakfast was...

Stayed at Glencairn with my wife whilst touring Scotland by motorcycle. What a find ! We were given the best welcome 2 weary bikers could ever want ! Cups of tea and a chance to meet Garys 2 Burnese Mountain dogs which were gorgeous. The rooms are clean and smart and the breakfast was lovely. Stunning views and beaches just... More
