This was our second time as a guest and we felt very comfortable. Ross is a very friendly host, the rooms are very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The breakfast is freshly prepared and delicious. Good location for a visit to Inverewe Garden and for exploring the magnificent landscape, thank you for everything, we would love to come back!

Ross at Corriness House was the best! We arrived with a flat tire and needed help. Ross went well above and beyond! He checked with the local garage to see if they had a tire (they did!). I was experiencing some back problems, and he carried all of our luggage to the second floor. The room was beautiful. We had the best breakfast of our trip at Corriness House. Good Job! And thank you Ross for all of your help and understanding! Highly recommend!

While possible, late spring through early autumn (May–September) offers optimal daylight and weather. Winter ceremonies require enhanced planning and heating solutions.
