A true B&B at its finest. Everything is so efficient and has elegant signage in case you get confused. The location is just off the beaten track which was perfect to get away from the tourist crowds. The room had comfortable beds, great water pressure, and parking! The full Scottish breakfast in the morning was AMAZING and the service was fantastic! Highly recommend!!!!
