We were really pleased that we booked this B&B - its in a good central location but is also quiet and relaxing. On arrival the hosts made us feel very welcome with a cuppa and recommended a variety of local restaurants for dinner. They also made reservations for us - nothing was too much trouble. Our room was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view out over the garden and river beyond. You can also make the most of the scenery by sitting out and enjoying the garden, but if the weather isn't good, there is a also homely lounge to relax in. The breakfasts were great. I would not hesitate in booking this B&B again in the future.

This B&B is in a lovey modern house in a beautiful picturesque setting. It was over looking Loch Ness and had breathtaking views from the window.Our host was very friendly and made us very welcome. The rooms were modern, a good size and clean. The breakfast was very good. All round a lovely place to stay.

I had walked the 21 or so miles up the Great Glen Way from Fort Augustus, so yes, that last bit from the main road to Glen Rowan was hard. However I was warmly welcomed by Alistair, offered refreshment while he went over the choices of local restaurant for evening meal. 5 minutes later he had booked another guest and I a window table over looking Loch Ness, and they were sending a car to pick us up at 6.30pm. You would never guess he used to be a policeman.

My room was comfortable, with an excellent ensuite with shower. The little basket with toiletries, not only had the usual shampoo etc, but a disposable razor and some other things ladies might need. Nice extra attention to detail that I have not come across elsewhere.

Breakfast again has Alistair doing front of house in tartan breeks - pants for our American cousins - and to Scottish country dance music. After cereals and juice, there is smoked salmon and scrambled eggs if you wish it, although I want for they full Scottish. Between courses, Alistair had run some other guest down the road to Castle Urquhart. Vanessa, who does the real work in the back ground, is also very friendly and charming.

Drumnadrochit is the centre of the monster indusrtry, and is about half a mile up the road. There is a large variety of eateries, and a samll selection of shops. Certainly in the season, eating out seemed quite expensive in most places, but I would recommend the 3 mile trip up the loch to Cobbs Restaurant in the Clansman Hotel. And the view from that window table was absolutely stunning

Vanessa and Alistair work really hard to stand out from the B & B Guest House crowd, and I am sure if you visit them, you will not be disappointed.

We have stayed at Glen Rowan B&B on a few occasions and it is just a lovely place to stay. The rooms are lovely, very well furnished and with lots of accessories which guests may have forgotten to bring themselves. Breakfast is excellent with a very good choice. There are a number of services offered including packed lunches, laundry services. However, the best part of staying at Glen Rowan has to be the owners. They are both so warm and friendly and incredibly helpful. There are few B&B's who greet you personally and offer tea/coffee and then help you with bookings for dinner etc. Both Vanessa and Alistair just treat you like friends. When we stayed there last week they had two young Swiss girls staying who wanted information about taking a boat to Inverness. Alistair found out all the details for them, made the booking for them and then ran them to their departure point after breakfast the next morning. I would thoroughly recommend this lovely Guest House to anyone.
