to get started.

Absolutely a wonderful place. The owners know what to do, so their guests will get the best experience ever. The surroundings is when Scotland is best. We had a great stay and we will come back.

Bodil, Denmark

Fiona and Geoff are absolutely fantastic hosts, nothing is any bother. The property is beautiful, in a stunning and at times (weather dependent) dramatic location. The rooms were extremely comfortable, fully kitted out with everything you could need. Comfortable bed, fluffy blankets, superb refreshments tray. Guest lounge is welcoming and comfortable, with lovely cosy fire. The dinner and breakfasts were the best we've ever had, anywhere. First class, quality food. Lovely little touches throughout just added that extra to the stay. Cannot recommend Balsporran enough, we can't wait to go back

Heather, United Kingdom

Fiona and Geoff have built a lovely bed and breakfast. From the moment you arrive you feel You have been in there company before. The rooms are snug but they have thought of everything you need for a comfortable stay. The breakfast is far superior than many high end hotels I’ve stayed in. And Fiona is a dark horse regarding her passion for baking and cooking. If any of our friends or family are heading north for a break Fiona and Geoff’s B&B I will be giving them the address.

Just a thought - might be worth having slightly more obvious signage off the A9 - quite difficult to find, especially in the dark and rain / snow!!
Extremely friendly and welcoming. Loved the homemade shortbread on arrival! Worth driving all the way to N Scotland just for the breakfast!!

Nothing! So this is NO complaint .... I did book a single room and it was small, and pics do accurately show this, but double bed and room has character! Railway right next door, but after bed time, I didnt notice anything whatsoever.

Absolutely exceptional on every level. This small and completely unique boutique B&B was lovingly created from scratch in 2017, with the house completely renovated and the furniture hand carved by Geoff, the proprietor, for instance. The level of care and attention to every single detail is just fantastic and the hosts, Geoff and Fiona, are tremendously welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic without ever being intrusive. The rooms are just beautiful, the setting spectacular and the breakfast selection and quality probably the best we've ever received anywhere in the world. If you have an opportunity to stay here then jump at it, it will raise the experience of your trip to a different level before you've even set foot outside the door.
