“Glorious”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

My partner and I visited Collete and Steve this weekend and it was just glorious. The weather was beautiful so we could explore and enjoy the scenery and surrounding areas. The room was hot (although it was 29degrees outside!) and very clean, modern with every amenity of a 5* hotel. Lovely and breakfast, and beautiful fresh and homemade selections of... More

“The Stables B&B, exceptional value, service and a great place to relax and unwind.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

I first stayed at the Stables B&B in 2009 and it was so good I returned in September 2011. A relative and I were frantic to find accommodation around the area of Lochgilipeg to no avail. Thankfully, the Tourist Information Centre there recommended we try The Stables in Achnamara. On arrival we found hosts Steve and Collette welcoming, warm, friendly... More

“Great Hotel Style Service, Great Rooms, Great Area - Why Go Anywhere Else ???”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

We have been to the area a number of times and not run out of things to do. This was the first time we stayed at The Stables - Steve and Collette provide the best B&B experience we've ever had, the rooms/beds/bathrooms are excellent, the lounge area is genuinely lovely and the breakfast (weekends cooked, nice continental on the week...

“Absolutely Top Notch - Great Place to Unwind”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011

We stayed one night here on our way back to Glasgow and wished we'd time to stay longer! Everything about The Stables was top notch - large comfortable room/bed, nice shower, very clean, large skylight in the room, tons of information about things to do/see in the area, beautiful guest lounge area with fireplace, and cable TV / DVD offerings....

Hi tmcdaneld! What a top notch review from a senior reviewer!! Although your stay with us was short, en-route to the airport we are glad you were suitably impressed. Before opening we made sure we sourced decent furniture, especially comfortable mattresses and bedding – a key component of providing “Bed and Breakfast” I’m sure you will agree. It is nice... More

“If only all B&Bs were this good..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

Outstanding B&B in a lovely location. Steve is passionate about the area and is a mine of local information. Spacious bedrooms and en-suites. Excellent lounge/breakfast room with comfortable sofas. Fantastic!

Hi MilsteadUmpire! Just wanted to say thanks for writing a quick review following your stay in September. Your comments are appreciated – as you know we are a small B&B so we don’t get as many reviews as larger establishments. We are proud of the service we provide and it is always nice to know when it is appreciated. Thanks... More

“We could have been in a five star hotel, but better personal service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

We were camping on Arran and decided the weather was not going to get any better, so booked a room last minute at The Stables. We arrived after having packed away our tent wet, and straight away Steve offered that we could just put it up and dry in their back garden, which we then did. We were given a... More

“Brilliant position, beautiful house, delightful hosts.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

This is one of the best B&Bs we've stayed in and we've stayed in lots. The house is beautifully positioned on the edge of Achnamara village, by Loch Sheen in Knapdale. Surrounded by woodland, you feel right in the heart of nature - on two of the days of our stay we woke to the sight of deer grazing just... More

Wow! what a review; thank-you so much Heather & Roger! Feedback like yours makes it all worthwhile - and it is really uplifting to know that our guests appreciate our hospitality.

“Very peaceful and comfortable...a wonderful break from noise and crowds”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

This B and B is great for stress relief....very quiet and with very welcoming owners. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and it is the perfect spot for getting away from it all. The lounge downstairs has comfy sofas and loads of books to choose from. Breakfast was very good with ample choice and at weekends is full Scottish. Steve... More

“Great accomodation, knowledgable hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

Lovely setting, good welcome and hosts, Steve & Collete, were very knowledgable about the local wildlife (we even had a red deer stag in the garden). The accomodation was lovely, spacious and clean. Very enthusiastic about the bever colonies and we will go back to see these in the future. First class continental breakfast.
