Janet made our 3 night stay a pleasure. The guest room has gorgeous bed linen and is tranquil. The house is a true home and one where we were made to feel at home. After a busy wedding it was the place to relax - stunning scenery and a "landlady" with a difference. We will be back!
Ideal for a couple or a single traveller.

Myself and my husband visited Applecross recently and had a wonderful stay with Janet at Ragged Acre. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and Janet was very informative about places to eat, local walks and the local area.

The room itself was very comfortable, with a great big comfy bed and the breakfasts were amazing!

Hard to express what a great stay this was. I brought my partner all the way from Los Angeles to see this breathtaking part of Scotland, where every bend in the coastal road brings stunning view after stunning view. Culduie is remote, but that's exactly what we wanted - an escape. The big surprise was the fantastic little house with all the mod cons - brand new facilities, flat screen TV, wireless internet, central heat and air, even underfloor heating in the bathroom and handmade chocolates on the pillows. What a luxury! Janet could not have been more welcoming; this was immediately apparent when making the booking. She stayed in town over New Year to accommodate us, and we were thoroughly taken care of.

Now: to the food. Local, mostly organic. Fresh bread, chocolates and shortbread made by Janet's sister, Annie, from across the field. Three choices for breakfast (smoked haddock, poached egg and bacon, anyone? That was just one dish), homemade jams and marmalade. All spectacular and abundant. We were invited to dinner with the whole community on New Years Eve, and rang in 2008 under perfectly clear, starry skies. What else is there to say?

We came an extremely long way to stay with Janet; it was well worth it, even driving over the Bealach na Ba at dusk! Our every expectation was exceeded, and we made a new friend. We'll be back first chance we get.

We have stayed with Janet in the past and once again this wonderful hostess has given us a memorable visit to Applecross. The area offers stunning scenery and tranquillity but you need an important ingredient to encourage you back. Ragged Acre provides that all important ingredient - excellent food accompanied by a very high standard of accommodation and a warmth that is often lacking in the tourist industry. Janet MacDonald's genuine first class service will lure you back to Ragged Acre again and again. This B&B leads by example!
