Stayed one night on our way to the Orkneys. The location is certainly off the beaten track and very quiet as we expected. The house is interesting and has obviously been lovingly restored. A quick phone call to Chris soon sorted out the directions and he is a welcoming and chatty host who obviously loves this house. Our room was... More

Stayed here for one night wish it could have been longer. The B and B was fantastic! We stayed in the Winter Suite which has a gorgeous little private lounge downstairs and the bedroom and bathroom upstairs. The room was clean and comfortable and decorated to a high standard. Chris the host made us feel very welcome and at home.... More

We stayed two nights at the Old Manse and it was faultless. The room was beautiful and the setting exquisite. Chris, our host was wonderful. He saw to our every need, served a wonderful breakfast, lent us a touring map and gave us lots of tips about places to visit. The room was cosy, and a nice touch was that... More

The cooked breakfast was great - just right for the crossing over... More

They have every right to be proud of this place - it... More

We chose to have an evening meal at the Manse... More

This is a great B&B. Lovely friendly owners who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Room was gorgeous - the buidling had been carfeully restored - but inside the design was modern and had everything you coudl wish for. (Have stayed in some pretty posh hotels that would not have matched this.) Breakfast was nice. Excellent... More
