It was our first experience of the famous Scottish Bed and Breakfast . And it was for us a real success. It offers a continental breakfast and a typical one. It offers a variety of fruits for the breakfast which is rare enough to be reported . You are served at the table . They take care of you . Jane & Michael were engaging, cheerful, good advice on what to see and roads to take. Last, despite the fog , the view is magic : a postcard. We enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful rooms with a modern feel and beautifully equipped. Shared breakfast with other guests. Pre arrival efficient and accurate eg directions and good restaurant suggestions. The b and b is along a very narrow road, some miles off the main road so time needs to be allocated each journey. Food was generous and well presented. Hosts welcoming and ensured we had a good stay.
Having spent the rest of our Scottish road trip in generic chain hotels, booking Garadh Buidhe was an unknown quantity. We decided to drive there early evening without eating dinner since we figured we'd head out later and find somewhere. However, after showing us our room Jane asked if we'd eaten and said that she and Michael were going for fish and chips and would we like them to bring us some. Being six months pregnant and having just driven from Inverness with the last twenty minutes driving "off the map" down winding lanes, I was extremely grateful. This was not part of the standard service, but was kindness over and above what we'd expected. As we relaxed in our room, they brought us a fish and chip supper in our room, that they'd plated up and brought up cutlery, sauces etc.
The room itself was lovely. It was a shame that one of the window panes was smashed due to a recent accident, but the view was still beautiful and my husband and I both moved our chairs in front of them both evenings to appreciate the view of the surrounding landscape. It was very peaceful and one of those rooms that makes you feel at home. It was clean and decorated tastefully with lots of added extras e.g. DVD player (if you'd rather not just look out the window!), packets of biscuits, toiletries etc.
We'd booked through an online agent and were told we'd have "continental breakfast" included. I was expecting the usual guest house cornflakes and toast, but we were given a card the night we arrived and asked to select what we'd like for our cooked breakfast. This was also a pleasant surprise. The cooked breakfasts were prepared individually and were fresh and delicious. There was also cereals, toast and a variety of fruit available, which meant that we were well fed.
Jane and Michael were very welcoming and very attentive during our stay. I would definitely recommend the drive out of Speen Bridge or Fort William to stay here. It really IS worth putting up with the highland cattle blocking the road to get to it!
Jane and Michael couldn't have been any nicer. We had a lovely stay with them. Room we were in had excellent views. Lovely views all round. Would certainly go back if we were in the area again. Lovely breakfast. They really welcomed you into their home.hopefully we will get back soon. We stayed 16th-18th June 2016 and the weather was great. As we had no knowledge of the area they gaves us ideas of where to go. Nothing was to much trouble.
Thank you for your very positive comments. We loved having you stay with us and look forward to meeting you again maybe at some time in the future. Jane and Michael
Possibly the best B&B I have had the pleasure to stay at. Jane and mike are the most wonderful and welcoming hosts and really welcome you properly into their home in this most magnificent of locations in the Highlands.
I had the pleasure of a two night stay here with my cousin. We booked two rooms which share a bathroom together, which as we were staying together was perfect for us. The rooms were simply lovely with a lovely homely feel and everything you could need for your stay. The bathroom was modern and spotlessly clean.
As we were in the area to climb Ben Nevis we took advantage of the wonderful home cooked breakfast. A great arrangement in the dining area in that all guests have the opportunity to sit together (depending on what time you want to eat) which makes for some pleasant chatter with people of all backgrounds or if you happen to be the only one down for breakfast, indulge mike in his love of all things political....He's a very knowledgeable chap! Appreciate this arrangement might not suit all but Jane and Mike really bend over backwards to ensure all guests are happy.
Garadh Buidhe is between Spean bridge and fort william in a stunning location. Beware not to follow sat nav entirely as the postcode can only direct you as far as the main road so be sure to print or take a map to find the last but of the way. Garadh Buidhe is sign posted from the road.
Overall a brilliant stay and if I am in the area again in the future then this would be my first choice for a place to stay.
Lovely to meet you both. We really loved our chats around the breakfast table. We look forward to your return visit. Jane and Michael
This is a great place to stay off the beaten track. Jane and Michael are very kind and accommodating, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the view from the house is incredible. Also the site is within driving distance of several really great day-trip destinations.
It was a pleasure to meet you and we thank you for your lovely comments. Jane and Michael
