We particularly enjoyed the excellent breakfast - fresh fruit salad, and the home made jam and marmalade were delicious. It was posiible to park our car outside our room which for us is a real plus when lugging heavy suitcases around. Some people may find the room decor a little dated but the bedroom and ensuite were very spacious and spotlessly clean and the breakfast room/conservatory was charming. We feel that this Bed and Breakfast hotel is great value for money and we enjoyed our stay.

No nonsense b&b with a friendly welcome from Ethel and Christopher. Good breakfast, clean and homely room. Excellent location from which to tour the highlands.

Very nice older facility, almost historic as it was pointed out to us that a certain area in the hotel lobby had been used as a stable in the past. The breakfast was excellent and the operators were very efficient, very pleasant and friendly.

Staff very friendly & breakfast excellent. Advertises as hotel but only offers bed & breakfast. As out of town location this can be misleading. Hotels generally have a bar & or restaurant/dining facilities.

If you like "Little Britain", breakfast time at Achilty is worth a visit. Breakfast also is very good.

Weird place, very old fashioned room and owners, but they were very nice. The bed was really uncomfortable, and we found ants in our jam in the morning (but it was still very tasty home-made jam...).

Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming and offered suggestions as to what special events were taking place locally at the time of our visit. Rooms are spacious with plenty of storage if you are staying for a couple of days and want to unpack your bags.

This hotel looked a bit shoddy on first impression but the welcome and the nice atmosphere of staff (I think a husband and wife team run it) made up for that. Lovely breakfast. Very useful Hotel for an Inverness stop over when travelling through Scotland.

Friendly welcome and excellent breakfast. Convenient for a night stop but is six miles from the nearest eatery so you have to drive to dinner there and back which after a long day's drive is not good for the driver to relax etc.. Beds were not all that comfortable.

The inn is quite luxurious - furniture, decor, building itself. Elder couple tending to inn is sweet and helpful. And - out of 12 hotels we visited during our journey through Scotland/England, this one definitely had the best breakfast! A bit damp, maybe weather had something to do with it. Another thing - it's a roadside inn, so if you're a light sleeper you might not get a good rest.

Actually nothing was good at this horrible guesthouse. The only good thing was the location, a few km of Strathpfeffer. A nightmare, that's how we would describe this guesthouse. Extremely unfriendly people. After a small disagreement at our arrival regarding the charges for the room and the way of payment (there vwas a credit card surcharge on out payment) I decided to pay in cash. Payment had to be in advance which I found very strange and unwelcoming. No proper receipt of payment was given to us. Even worse, after we had paid (in cash) the owner of the guesthouse started to insult and shout and she actually summoned us to leave the premisses. Which we refused of course. Owner continued shouted at us (and I really mean shouting). Her husband arrived, I thought he would calm down his wife, but on the contrary he made things worse by threatening to throw our suitcases out in the street. It was the daugther of the family who intervened and eventually calmed down her father. We managed to reach our room that we had paid for already. There another shouting by the owner started, in which we were told that if any damage would incur to the room that would be credited on my credit card. We were totally shocked. I have never had such a bad, unfriendly and hostile reception in a hotel. We decided not to take any breakfast next morning and left as soon as possible. Totally unprofessional behaviour of these hotel people.I would not recommend this guesthouse to anyone.

Excellent accueil (nous sommes un couple d'hommes et ce n'est pas toujours le cas...), le patron parle un peu français, très bon rapport qualité/prix, petits déjeuners écossais excellents ! Bonne localisation pour visiter le nord de l'Ecosse.

Es un b&b muy acogedor , menaje para hacer te cafe en la habitacion... Lo que mas nos gusto fueron los desayunos y la gran amabiladad de sus propietarios que nos hicieron sentir en casa , siempre dispuestos a ayudarnos y pendientes de hacer nuestra estancia agradable, sin duda si volvemos algun dia repetiremos. Nos ha gustado todo.
