breakfast choice off-road parking separate bathroom road noise
The breakfast was great. I had a choice between continental and a cooked Scottish breakfast. The house is lovely (it is warm and cozy). Off-road parking is available and the town is only a short walk away.
My bathroom was separate. I had to exit my room to use it (it was only for my personal use though). The room faced the road. It was a little noisy.

charming stay north scotland
on-site parking large room extensive choice lovely host
I appreciated the on-site parking. It made things SO much easier. The room was large, a big plus for unpacking. I enjoyed the extensive and high-quality breakfast. The host was lovely and gave excellent service.
the only slight negative was that even though the bathroom was for my own personal use, i had to exit my room to access it. i found that to be minor thing.
