Anne really looked after us during our stay at Shivinish B&B. The room was lovely, absolutely immaculate, and we also had use of the lounge, with plenty of reading material and great views. Nothing was too much trouble - she really went out of her way to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. Breakfast was top notch!

Being guided by the previous reviews will not lead to any disappointment. Anne's hospitality and the facilities she makes available in her home results in a most enjoyable stay certainly meeting all of our needs during our four night stay. She is not intrusive but there to give guidance when planning your day if required. Freedom of the house with... More

If you want a homely stay with a warm welcome and a tremendous breakfast then you wont go wrong with a stay with Ann at Shivinish. We first stayed with Ann on Grimsay two years ago and fell in love with the place to the extent that we intend to make it home soon! We did not know Ann before... More

We stayed for two nights. We were made so welcome by Anne that we felt we had gone to stay with an unobtrusive friend. Fresh milk in the room on the hospitality tray was a welcome thoughtful touch. Lovely en suite room with a view east over Grimsay island, everything you could wish for, local information books in the sitting... More

The room was roomy and clean. We we're welcomed with cake and tea/coffee facilities and fresh milk (a nice touch, much better than the long life stuff you normally get!). The breakfasts we're very good and a nice start to the day, although you don't need much else afterwards.

I have just spent two excellent nights with Anne and it is more like staying the weekend with a friend than a guest house - you have the feel of just being part of the household. A warm welcome, comfy bed, huge cooked breakfast - what more can you ask for? Maybe a view of the sun setting beyond the... More

Having come on a day of freezing north winds, Shivinish was a cosy retreat from the elements. Ann was good enough to leave the door open for us as she was out and about. The breakfasts were excellent with too much choice for the waistline. A big plus was being in 3G internet range (of where I know not) unlike... More

Welcomed by Anne with hot drinks and cake. Anne recommended local restaurants of which we chose one in Balivanich. It was Anne's birthday and on our return we spent a pleasant eveing chatting and celebrating with her cousin. Excellent room ensuite, very comfortable and a lovelly breakfast before heading off. Highly recommended to all, you will not be disappointed.

Anne is an excellent hostess, we were welcomed with tea and homemade cake on our arrival, the rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable. Breakfast first class. No hesitation in recommending this fantastic B/B
