Quite an unusual experience for me, eating dinner with the owners, chef and others guests, then relaxing in the sitting room as opposed to spending the evening sat on my bed like a usual B&B. It really made it an enjoyable stay. Everyone was lovely, food was delicious.

Was a nice place but just not for me hosts were very friendly there was a set meal which didn’t really suit my tastes but there was no other choice 1 thing I found strange was sitting around a big table with guests you had only just met not forced too but you weren’t offered any other option other than that was ok for a 1 night stay bit remote nothing else around if you wanted to go out for food

4/10 Fair
Sep 5, 2022
Worst cooked breakfast ever, in over 40 years of staying in hotels. It was overcooked and very small. The only cooked vegetarian option was beans on toast.
£13.00 for soup and a sandwich, Bland soup and no trimmings.
£35.00 for 3 course with soup with no discernible flavour, well overcooked vegetables and potatoes we could not determine if meant to be roast or boiled.
Long drive unsuitable for road type motorbikes.
No wet room for drying wet cloths.
No tea of coffee facilities in rooms.

Charming country getaway
If you are really looking to disconnect and spend a few days in the beautiful Scottish countryside then this is the place. A charming retreat hosted by a hospitable couple and their staff--all interesting, international and friendly. Delicious home cooked meals, a fully stocked bar and plenty of time to unwind. It was just what we wanted and will visit again.

This place is what it says on the box, most remote place in Britain, quaint, with the hosts Eva and Adryn, being very friendly, along with Ollie.

Garvault house was the most memorable stay of our NC 500 trip. Its a bit remote but relatively straightforward to get to. Adrian & Eva (the hosts) made everyone feel very welcome and at home. The surroundings of the hotel are absolutely beautiful and worth a walk over. We would love to come back again.
