Triple bed room with lovely views. Seamless check in, checkout, breakfast pre order system. Great garden with bird life and loch/ river/ mountain views. Appreciate such a place to stay in such a remote area.

Tony United Kingdom

A great stay the owner was so helpful and went the extra mile to let us in as we had arrived early. very clean lovely room. the owner was so friendly and welcoming. We went in March before many places were open but she managed to get us a table in a hotel with top class food.

Bernadette United Kingdom

Warm and friendly welcome. Nice room. We had a room with sea-view: what a nice view over the loch, wow! Good, clean bathroom. Breakfast was more than fine; Pick whatever you like and it's all there. Facilities in the B&B are fine, recommidation!

Clemens Netherlands

The host was very welcoming and the property is situated in stunning scenery. The view from our room was beautiful with a sea view from our bedroom and hills from the en-suite. Everything was immaculate, the shower was good and the towels lovely and soft. The bed was super comfy and we slept like a log. There was no TV in the room but there is a very comfy sitting room with TV that is for guests to use. Nice selection for breakfast and host will accommodate dietary requirements. I had very yummy scrambled eggs even though they were not on the actual list. There is a nice hotel down the road which served a lovely evening meal. I definitely recommend staying here.

Caroline United Kingdom

Ishbel and Angus were absolutley amazing, made us feel so welcome in their beautiful b and b. They went above and beyond to give us a lovely honeymoon in such a spectacular setting. They had great tips on things to do and places to eat which were always spot on. We stayed for 4 nights but would have loved to spend more! We'll be back when the glamping pods are built!

The Birches is a family run bed and breakfast which has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. We are situated in Dundonnell which is on the north west coast area of the highlands on the NC500 route. We are nestled among beautiful scenery at the foot of the rugged An Teallach mountain range on the shore of Little Loch Broom. Here at The Birches, although a new business we have had many years of experience in the hospitality industry. We aim to provide a comfortable bed for a relaxing sleep, a good continental breakfast with local produce where possible and a friendly welcome all of which should go towards enhancing your stay in this beautiful part of the highlands of Scotland. We have a lovely well maintained garden with a large decking area with seating leading on to the shore where you can enjoy the stunning views and hopefully catch a glimpse of dolphins, seals, otters, birds of prey or any of the varied wild life that can be seen here. We are not a licensed premises but we do provide glasses and ice if you bring your own - where better to enjoy a drink and watch the sunset. FACILITIES Free wifi Private car park Hairdryers, iron and ironing board available ...
Here at The Birches my husband Angus and I have had many years of experience in the hospitality industry. I owned and ran Maggie's Tearoom for 15 years which was popular with locals and tourists alike and was delighted to achieve a certificate of excellence from trip adviser. We have now decided to go in a new direction and have completely renovated our home and turned it into a guest house and hope to welcome many new visitors here. We both have a great knowledge of the local area and whether it is walking, climbing, beaches, gardens, photography, bird watching or general site seeing you are interested in we would like to think we could help to point you in the right direction and share our knowledge with you.
Dundonnell is a beautiful rural area on the west coast of Scotland. Our bed and breakfast is right at the foot of a beautiful mountain range and right on the shore of Little Loch Broom. There are several munro mountains within a short drive of us which makes this a very popular area for climbers. There are many beautiful white sandy beaches nearby and lots of lovely walks where you can enjoy the tranquillity of the area.
