My wife and I recently stayed at Rivendell on a trip around Scotland from the USA. Tommy and Marilyn (both originally from Lancashire) could not have been more friendly and gave us the warmest welcome and an enormous bedroom and sitting room upstairs. Rivendell has tons of character (chickens outside the front door etc!) and Tommy's breakfasts were superb and... More

Easy on the pocket, good breakfast and friendly staff, but room was stuffy and certainly would need some renovation.

It's time Marilyn and Tommy got the accolade that they deserve. OK the house is a bit wonky but the hospitality is fantastic! I run a B&B in Kelso (Duncan House) and choose to go to Rivandell for my holidays.

We organise a cycle event from Shieldaig every May and for the past two years we have used Rivendell Guest House to provide accommodation for the organising team and marshals. Tommy and Marilyn are brilliant. They deal with our last minute changes with the minimum of fuss and juggle the rooms to meet our needs. On Saturday morning Tommy was... More

We stayed at the B&B for the weekend and could not find any faults. We were made welcome from arrival by our host, Tommy. The room was great, meals were were outstanding and the room had everything we required and more. We would recommend staying here as you won't find a nicer peron than Tommy in Shieldaig.
