Property info

In 1982 the Jennings purchased the run down guest house, that is now The Jays Guest House. They renovated it and built a further extension to it adding several rooms in 1993. The premises are decorated and furnished to a high standard, which has enabled it to be awarded with 4 Stars from VisitScotland and successive yearly Certificates of Excellence from Trip Advisor - where we have maintained a high ranking. This place has been in business for 32 years. Both of us takes great satisfaction in providing our guests with a homely atmosphere, in pleasant and comfortable surroundings. We intend to continue with our present lifestyle and continue meeting and greeting our guests.
