My husband and I stayed at Ceol Na Mara for two nights last week. We unexpectedly stumbled upon the property, and thankfully they had availability! The house is stunning - quite large with beautiful interior design (I particularly loved the high-backed chairs in the dining area). It sits right across the street from the water, so the views are spectacular.... More

Stayed in the king room, it was warm and comfortable, with views over the bay. Breakfast was excellent and set us up for the day. Ross was a great host and gave us loads of ideas of where to visit. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

We found this B&B by accident as we'd not booked anywhere and were driving around Scotland. A nearby hotel which was full recommended it to us, and so we drove up and were lucky enough to get a room. The place is lovely and we extended our stay because we loved it here. Ross was incredibly helpful and takes time... More

I can't praise Ross & Jayne highly enough. They were perfect hosts, with a lot of useful information on where to go, what to see and how to get there. The room was lovely, warm, comfortable and with a fantastic view over the loch and mountains. A wonderful, too short stay. If you stay here, you won't want to leave!

My wife, 4yo son, and I stayed here for one night in the family room. My son's bed consisted of a large mat that folded out; he was comfortable. The bathroom is huge. One thing we struggled with was a place to lay out our multitude of suitcases; the room is large, but there were chairs, tables, etc taking up... More

I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us and thought we were good hosts. I just wanted to clear up a couple of points. Our King room is not a family room and is not advertised as such but as you mentioned is large. The room size is curtailed when the fold out bed is being used not by... More

We spent 4 nights at this lovely B&B hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Calderwood. Everything was beyond perfect: our room was clean, cosy, and tastefully decorated; full-cooked breakfast was great and plentiful; loch and mountain views from our room were amazing. Whatever I say to compliment the hosts, it will not be enough - they are very friendly, helpful, and... More

We stayed in the double room for 3 nights recently and were not dissapointed in anything. Ross and Jayne are very welcoming and happy to help with any questions on the area. The breakfast was great and we definitely felt the price was well worth it. The room was a great size, very clean, comfy bed and some lovely Rennie... More
