We stayed here back in March 2008 and were really impressed by the level of thought Janet, the proprieter, has put into the property. The house has been renovated and this helps to make it really comfortable. Take for example the bathroom which, although small, has underfloor heating.

The house is decorated tastefully and is peaceful and relaxed. Janet encourages you to make yourself at home. Breakfasts are a real treat with cereal/real scottish porridge (optional) followed by a choice of 3 breakfasts. I stuck with the full english/scottish but there is also the option to have salmon and the third option I forget. All ingredients are either locally sourced, organic or fair trade (right down to the tomato ketchup) and in general all the amenities are of very high quality. Right down to the air freshner provided which is sourced from a US company specialisiing in natural products.

It's this attention to detail and the provision of such high quality amenities coupled with such excellent hospitality that really impresses. With such an excellent rates you can't fault it!

Applecross itself is a lovely place to stay in to get away from it all. For meals I would recommend the Applecross Inn, there's also the walled garden which is good for a change but doesn't have the variety of menu options as the Inn.

Janet provides accomodation that a 4 star hotel would be proud of. The room is spacious and fitted out to a high standard as is the en suite shower room, as well as the rest of the house, which we were virtually given the run of during our stay. Janet herself couldn't be nicer, friendly without being over the top like in some B&B's, but on hand with lots of help and advice about the area, and cooks a superb breakfast.

Me and my wife who was celebrating her 50th birthday while we were there had a great stay, and would recomend it to anyone. If there is a better place to stay around Applecross it must be very very good.

Thank you for the great time we were able to have.

The phrase "getting away from it all" really does mean what it says here. Janet has created a tranquil home near a loch with seals nearby, sheep outside the window and dozens of birds feeding in her garden.
The accommodation is superb and the breakfasts wholesome and filling.
Nothing is too much trouble as Janet wants you to relax and unwind.
I would recommend Ragged Acre to all my friends, but perhaps I shouldn't tell everyone as we might find the accommodation already booked for our next visit!

Janet made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived with tea and and homemade cake and a word or two on the local area. She recommended a walk from the house. which took us along the coral beach. The room was comfortable, bright and well equipped - right down to the bath robes and slippers and the outstandingly comfortabale bed. A choice of Breakfast too; I recommend the smoked haddock with bacon and poached egg. Great value and great hospitality in a great location. Thank you Janet. We will be back to see you again.

Good wishes

Arthur & Sue.
