Reviews

The owner is very nice, we had a warm welcome. We were travelling with my parents, brother and our two children (7 people in total). We used three rooms and all rooms were wonderful. Very clean, a nice shower and coffee, thea in the room. We couldn't find a restaurant for dinner, they were all fully booked. We went to a take away restaurant, the owner made up a table for us so we could eat in Kiltearn house. We were amazed how cosy the dining room was. The next morning we had a lovely breakfast, with enough choices. The only thing we regret is that we couldn't stay longer because we would have loved to explore the surroundings more. It was our best stay in Scotland (of the three other places we stayed). Thank you for the hospitallity, we loved every minute of our stay.

This property was very well situated, close to water, nice view from our room!! Colder weather outside, very excited to have a heated blanket in the king size bed :)Very quiet!Slept very well, breakfast was excellent (had to wait for coffee, got it at end of meal)Staff very attentive. Had issue with wi-fi but this got settled quicklyWould stay again!!!

Pleasant staff.Beautiful traditional building, well maintained.Clean.Comfortable.Spacious.Lovely quality breakfast.Beautiful views.Great setting.No pubs or restaurants within walking distance is its only flaw.I will be staying again for sure.

Thank you for your lovely review Graeme, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. The closest pub to us is situated in the village at the top of the road (2 minutes in the car, 10 minute walk)

This was our favourite overnight stay during our road trip around the highlands. We felt warmly welcomed by Ed on arrival and our rooms were cosy and inviting.Staying at Kiltearn had such a homely vibe and I loved the lounge area downstairs with so many history books, I could have sat there for hours reading. We took a walk along the loch on our first afternoon and Ed suggested dinner at a gastro pub in Allangrange, where he kindly made a booking for us. Breakfast was plentiful and traditional and accommodated our groups individual preferences. All together this was such a pleasurable experience and we were disappointed that we could only stay for a night. Thank you so much Ed for your kindness and hospitality.x

We had a short break at Kiltearn house in September,it a great place for exploring that part of Scotland. Ed made us feel very welcome, couldn't fault anything. It's in a marvellous location if you'd just like to relax around the guest house. Five stars, thank you Ed.

Although brief, absolutely loved our stay at Kiltearn House… Emily and team were so friendly, helpful, and made our stay comfortable. A true gem in the North Highlands with an interesting history… we highly recommend you stay here!

Quiet friendly guesthouse.

Excellent place snd host very accomodating

My wife and I had a great experience at Kiltearn Guesthouse. The welcome was warm, the cosy and the bed comfortable. The location was great with nice walks nearby a lots of interesting things to see and do an easy drive away. We were really happy with our choice to stay at Kiltearn Guesthouse

Great place, really enjoyed staying, Very friendly and helpful the owners.Would come again.

I really suggest this place! It’s so warm and cozy: you feel immediately at home!Only one flaw: beds are very small even if you are a couple 😅

Thank you for your review Nicolo, it was lovely to meet you all and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We do also have the larger king and superking bedded rooms, however we were fully booked. We are looking to add a king size bed to your room for next year. Hope to see you again

We had an amazing time, perfect treat.

We stayed for just 1 night on your way up to Orkney. The setting is lovely right on the shore front. The house is a beautiful period property and the hosts friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our 30 min evening walk up to the pub in Evanton village and had very tasty meals. Our family grouo all slept very well. Our cooked breakfast in the morning set us up for our onward journey.

Lovely place with attentive hosts. Cosy rooms, delicious (vegan) food and a heartwarming atmosphere. It was such a great time here, we definitely will come back!

The stay was really great, with a lot of attention to Details and an amazing breakfast!

wow, what a pleasure to stay at the Kiltearn House. A very warm welcome, the room is very clean, everything you need is available. The choice of breakfast is fantastic. Homemade with love, pancake, scrambled egg with salmon, fresh berry, homemade jam. The energy in this house is fantastic. the surroundings are quiet, the nature is breathtaking and one of the perfect stay in Scotland. Thank you so much. lg Sophia

For those wanting to experience a stay in an authentic, historical Scottish manse, this is the place to visit.The views are lovely, the walking paths along Cromarty Firth and into Evanton are beautiful and serene.Most of all, the staff at Kiltearn is superb.Everyone was warm, friendly, cheerful, and efficient.We were well taken care of!

We had a great time at Kiltearn Guest House! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the food is delicious (the local cheese platter was a favourite of ours) and the beach views from the house are stunning. We took a walk around the house in the late afternoon, as recommended, and it was incredibly magical. Anyone wishing to experience the Highlands should book at least a night here!

This beautiful family home cannot be faulted for peace, comfort and lovely food. Thank you for your welcome and great service throughout

I had a lovely one night stay in this beautiful guest house. My single room was perfect and very comfortable. The cooked breakfast was fresh &delicious, I recommend thevenison sausages and home-made rasp jam. The setting isgorgeous, peaceful & quiet. Edwas very welcoming, helpful and explained everything. I willdefinitely be back and highlyrecommend this lovely place.

Thank you Kay. Happy biking!

Excellent in every way. The house is an absolute gem. The room was clean and very well equipped. The breakfast was excellent and the host was friendly and helpful. Just wish we’d booked the room with a sea view.

Response

Hope to see you again. Ed

Business trip up to the Highlands so I arrived late an left early the next day. Impressions were of a well run, welcoming guest house that I would have no hesitation to book again. Beautiful location set in its own grounds and room well laid out for a single female traveling alone. Really liked the touch of having a small self lighting movable mirror for getting ready next morning plus a mini fridge with a mini jug of milk for my tea in the morning. Would highly recommend a stay here and wish I had had longer to stay and enjoy it.

Thank you Lynn

With around 600 nights in hotels over the last 8 years this is among the top 10%Warm, personally welcome, clean room with all you need, delicious breakfast served by very kind staff. stunning view. The only minus is the parking situation that is sufficient but can be tight.

Response

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review. Ed

A very nice two-night stay at Kiltearn. Good standard of decor and fittings, very clean and a relaxed atmosphere. A very comprehensive breakfast provided. I should say that the location is excellent, rural yes but close to Evanton, Dingwall and Inverness. Right by Cromarty Firth, with shingle beaches and established walks literally on its doorstep! The honesty box for drinks on the landing is a great idea, and one I haven’t seen before. Very highly recommended.

Thank you Jeremy for such a comprehensive review. Ed

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kiltearn House. After a long drive we were hoping to relax in a quiet country setting, and Kiltearn House certainly was that. Our host Ed greeted us warmly on arrival, and was most helpful and welcoming. Our room was spacious, with high ceilings and huge windows overlooking the Cromartie Firth. It was well appointed, the king sized bed was comfortable, and the terry cloth robes and the bottle of cream in the mini-fridge were the perfect touches. The garden was lovely and well kept. There's a walking path close at hand, offering a refreshing walk near the shoreline. Our breakfast offered numerous selections and was well prepared, served in a bright sunroom offering views of the garden. Our only regret was that we hadn't booked in for a second night; we tried to rectify that upon arrival, but, of course, they were already fully booked. We will, however, be sure to correct that oversight on our next trip. It's truly a hidden gem. Most highly recommended!

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review. Ed

Fantastic Guest House, lovely quiet location, quality locally sourced food and great staff. 10/10 highly recommended.

Gorgeous cottage, comfortable rooms and delicious breakfast. Not a room with a water view but still had water glimpses over lush green landscape, birds singing, didn’t want to leave. Everyone was helpful and lovely.

I am a returning guest to Kiltearn House.It is a favourite place to stay on business travels. Beautiful house, furnishing, very comfortable beds, and great breakfasts. Onside the side of the Moray Firth is not the worst place to make up to in the morning.

Thank you for your review Anthony, Hope to see you again. Regards. Ed

When planning a few days away , we decided to return to Kiltearn Guest House as we thoroughly enjoyed ourvisit last summer. Welcoming , accommodating and comfortable - location ideal to explore or simply to relax and enjoy the house and garden. Fresh milk , small fridge in room, honesty bar , Scottish soaps- delicious breakfastall add to the experience - will visit again

After a long drive from the north country we drove along the Cromarty Firth, rounded a sharp corner and were surprised by joy to see Kiltearn House. A two storey stone house once the Manse of the nearby church it overlooks the water and is surrounded by trees and delightful views. We stayed here for one night but could easily have stayed longer. Ed is a hospitable host, serves a very fine breakfast and runs a tastefully decorated and clean establishment.Highly recommend this guesthouse for value and a relaxing experience.Brenda, Ian and Jo. Australia.

The host was lovely and the stay was excellent all around.

Another very comfortable and relaxing stay in this beautiful house. It's the special touches such as the fresh flowers in the room which make it memorable. Great breakfast. Welcoming hosts. Very comfortable bed.

Booked on the day direct via their website after deciding to stay over for an event at Tain. Asked for an early breakfast so we could leave 7.30am. Booked a kingsize sea facing room.. Beautiful room, spotlessly clean, very comfortable bed and duvet! Excellent choice of supplies to have a cuppa in bedroom with a lovely piece of shortbread.Wishing we arrived earlier in the day to enjoy the amazing view but its an excuse to revisit next time we are in the area.Overall a lovely, warm and spotless stay and a lovely host, Ed.

Characterful, welcoming and comfortable. What more do you need?!

Lovely place to stay , really quiet picturesque location, breakfast was superb , would recommend

This fabulous house is in a stunning location. Highly recommend it and wld definitely go back!

Kiltearn House is a wonderful home - lovely, clean, comfortable beds and beautiful views.The breakfast was great with many choices.The hosts were very pleasant and attentive.Five star for sure!!

Great Host,Great House in a Great location

During my brief stay, I was surprised again and again, by unprecedented attentiveness of the proprietor. He went extra miles to make my evening after a day walking in drenching rain better, including offering drying my stuff, as well as booking and driving me back to town for a dinner in a restaurant.The estate itself is old, feels very authentic, and cozy.

This is a great place to stay for many reasons: just a few minutes off A9 but you feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere (but really beautiful), friendly hosts, really clean, lots of little touches like fresh milk in a fridge on the landing for drinks and an AMAZING breakfast!We would highly recommend it and intend to return to explore the area further.

A beautiful setting and a very comfortable stay.

Lovely B&B with such friendly hosts. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was really good and served in a beautiful room with glass everywhere so you could see into the garden where some cats and kittens were having breakfast as well and playing around

This lovely place was a quiet place to stay after a long day sight seeing. It was clean and it was great breakfast before another day sight seeing. Will be back next year.

We can highly recommend this place. The attention to detail was just amazing. From The comfortable beds and pillows to the beautifully cooked breakfasts .The surrounding area is simply stunning, so peaceful and with it’s beautiful walks!Nel and Ed were the perfect hosts, we’ll definitely be coming here again!

Location, comfort and breakfast very welcome. Would stay again.

Our stay was great (no other words will suffice). A big old house set in an secluded spot overlooking the sea - perfect. The bedroom was very large & everything was there (including the 'guides' from the hosts - from a local hostelry to where to go during your stay)... so glad we decided to extend our stay ... Thank you.

A very welcoming place to stay. The room was lovely with a large comfortable bed. Spectacular views across the Firth from the room and the added fascination of watching the swifts nesting under the eaves.Breakfast in the conservatory was acceptable although the haggis was a bit dry, with the bonus of watching the birds flitting around the garden. We didn’t make use of the guests sitting room with its “honesty bar” but it looked very comfortable. There was some confusion over our room key being available when we returned after our even meal. We were told that room keys should be left on the desk in the lobby when we went out and collected on our return so that the owners would know that all the guests were back and the building could be secured overnight. An excellent plan, except our key was nowhere to be found! Having searched for someone to ask we ended up ‘phoning the hotel to speak to someone - slightly disconcerting when you can hear the ‘phone ringing in the office upstairs! However, one of the owners appeared with the key, so all was well in the end.

Very friendly greeting, nice comfortable roomvery nice cooked breakfast. Quiet surroundings lovely views. First class.

What a gem, Ed & Nell have thought of everything!Beds so comfortable, warm duvets, fresh white linen & thick fluffy towels. Even with tea/coffee/chocolate facility in the room. Great breakfast, in fact nothing to fault with our lovely stay in their beautiful house!!

Unfortunately, I did not have time to fully experience the all that was on offer at Kiltearn. The locaton was beautiful with nice walks by the estuary and the house was full of character. It was spotlessly clean with a delicious breakfast. Well worth a visit.

Wonderfully maintained, beautiful old manse. Hosts were very helpful and friendly, yummy breakfasts, quiet and peaceful locational.

Glorious location, excellent facilities, immaculately clean and warm hospitality, what more could you want plus the breakfast is superb.

Great stay, very comfortable. fantastic breakfast

We had a very nice stay here. Ed was an excellent host and Nelis an excellent cook. Kiltearn is a beautiful old house with large rooms. Our room faced out onto Cromarty Firth.There is a lovely walking path past the ruins of a church out onto the beach. All in all a terrific place to stay.

Great place to stay, quiet and beautiful views on the doorstep. Owners were attentive and very friendly.

Very friendly, lovely place, we enjoyed our stay

I had the pleasure of staying here for two nights. From the minute i walked in i felt welcome and at home. Ed and Nel made me feel right at home. Not the last visit here! Next time will be witht the family.

We had a lovely time: charming rooms and decoration, good beds, nice views, very good breakfast. Nell and Ed are great hosts.

Great hospitality,feels like home in a beautiful location.

Very homely, clean and welcoming B&B. I never leave reviews but I must say this place is a credit to the owners. Nothing was too much trouble for them The setting is beautiful. I would 100% recommend it here.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our room was great and the breakfast was very good. The owners very helpful and friendly. The location was great and we enjoyed our walks along the river.

Lovely house in very nice location.Bedroom was very pleasantly appointed and spotlessly clean.Bed was extremely comfortable.Breakfast was delicious too and the house was run by a very pleasant couple.No dinner options unless visiting the local public house however but close by and easy to get to.

Arrived at the house and could not believe the location. We were greeted we Ed who knew who we were. Very friendly and the rooms were well laid out and a good size with country side views. The walk on beach was a nice stroll. When it was time for us to leave in the morning they stood outside and wished us fairwell. We will be staying next year too.

Ed & Nel made us feel very welcome during our stay at Kiltearn House.It has many fine and thoughtful touches throughout and proved the ideal start to our short holiday in the Highlands.We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely revisit.

We enjoyed our stay at Kiltearn House very much. We had a wonderful big room with a view, a delicious breakfast and there was a very friendly atmosphere and a real personal touch.

Stunning location and great hosts, would've liked to stay longer to explore.Definitely recommend.

Excellent, warm, friendly and clean ..very clean.I would happily pay more to stay

helpful and welcoming hosts, very good breakfast, quiet and comfortable B&B

Perfect retreat. Location and hosts superb, accommodation immaculate, breakfasts wonderful, views of the loch and Ben Wyvis serene. Walks from the house through the countryside to Evanton for evening meals an easy and enjoyable 30 mins. Birdlife along lochside path plentiful and even spotted an osprey with fish just a few hundred yards from the house. Highly Recommended.

Stunning peaceful location next to waterfront. Immaculate rooms. Very clean. Great breakfast beautifully presented. Highly reccomended.

My second visit here and its hard to fault, clean, friendly and lovely location.Will always use this place when im in the area and the rates are extremely competitive.

A brilliant end to my travels celebrating my 60th. So glad I came back as a tourist, to the same brilliant hospitality, cosiness and comfort/

Our stay at Kiltearn House was Amazing from the warm welcome we received to the lovely cuddle good buy. Breakfast was the best breakfast we have ever had !!!! , puts you big boys ( Hilton hotels ect ) to shame. The whole house was spotless. Kiltearn house is a quiet retreat , with beautiful scenery but close to the A9. Ideal. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Had a very pleasant couple of days, welcoming, excellent breakfast & comfortable room.

House excellent .we loved everything about this house ,and made very welcome ,food great, bed vey comfy .owners are lovely .would definitely stay again .

a beautiful, friendly, quiet house with caring hosts - thank you so much!

Beautiful building and surroundings. Helpful and warm hosts. And the haggis for b/f was the best I have had.

I enjoyed a superb nights sleep in an extremely comfortable bed. Terific views across the water from the bedroom, and lots of great little details which left me feeling pampered

“This is an outstanding B&B with fantastic hosts who were thoughtful, supportive and discrete. The breakfast was delicious and served hot ...the home was immaculate and location enabled our friends to complete a final holiday challenge - to swim in the estuary before heading to the local pub where the food was also notably great (albeit huge portions - we had homemade fish pie & steak pie).”

Lovely quiet location with comfy bed and excellent Aga cooked breakfast.

It's hard to know where to start - peaceful location, comfortable rooms, cosy guest lounge, excellent breakfasts and friendly & helpful hosts. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Kiltearn House.

The house makes you feel like you are in a typical old house, but with all the comforts we could ask for. Ed and Nel are the sweetest and always ready to help and make our stay more pleasant. Recommend to everyone!

Nice accommodations inbeautiful end of the road setting. Thanks Ed and Nell!

Pleasant appartment.

This place was faultless. The home is beautiful, the room was spectacular, the views are flawless, and the owners treat you like family. It is the nicest place we have ever stayed. Thank you Ed and Gill for making us feel so welcome.

What à beautifull place, calm, cosy and such enjoyable. No doubt I will recommand it !

I don't normally like staying st "people's houses" that's why I stay in Hotels normally. Kiltearn is the friendliest, cleanest, accommodation. Far better than some local hotels.Spectacular views with the best breakfast I have had in a very long time.You need to try this stay. Will be back!

Das Ehepaar das uns bei der Anreise erwartete hat uns unfassbar freundlich und liebevoll empfangen und beherbergt. Es war einfach perfekt! Ohne diesen 2 tägigen Aufenthalt hätten wir wirklich etwas verpasst! Das Frühstück war fantastisch und die Lage des Hauses absolut idyllisch. Wir schwärmen immer noch davon. Wir haben tolle Tipps für die Umgebung bekommen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Everything, from the welcome, to waving us off, was spot-on. I travel a lot and Kiltearn house isa rare find. The bed, bed linen were of high quality. Perfect for a great night's sleep. Loved it!

Lovely place with views of the Firth. Hosts were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great. House beautifully deocrated for Christmas. We want to go back

This was our second time staying in this magnificent house, and it was a joy. Ed and Nell are brilliant hosts...nothing is too much trouble for them. Comfort, relaxation and luxury from start to finish...looking forward tovisiting and staying again next year.

I stayed for one night with a friend and would definitely recommend. This is a beautiful house/home in a rural setting.The hosts were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely.Very clean and comfy rooms.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay with Ed and Nel who were the perfect hosts.Kiltearn House was like a home from home with comfortable beds in a beautiful peaceful location.Great breakfast choice and Ed and Nel's local knowledge helped us to find what we needed.We would love to stay again!

Enjoyed our stay, although for only one nightVery welcoming. Room excellent, with plenty of facilities.Breakfast first class. Good value all round.One minor suggestion - a larger sign at the top of the junction with the main road would be helpful

Room very clean and well presented. Breakfast excellent.

We had a excellent stay with ed and nell. From the minute we went through the front door to the bedroom,breakfast everything was pretty impressive. Ed and Nell were the prefect host.

My American tourists from New York and I had a marvellous stay at your fine establishment. The welcome that Ed and Valerie was outstanding, together with their attention to detail. I loved my room as did my couple love theirs. Breakfast was magnificent in the sun room with its views to open fields. My tourists particularly liked the fresh fruits on offer and the cooked breakfast itself. I look forward to returning with new guests next year. Thank You. Bruce Telford.

Couldn't wish for better. Hosts even got up at 4.30am to breakfast me when I had to leave early. Well knitted out, beautiful setting, will definitely go back

A stunning location, a very warm welcome and a superb room.

Had a great stay with wonderful hosts who went out of their way to make us comfortable and even made sure we had a full breakfast on our last day even though we had a very early departure. Breakfasts were excellent.

Very warm atmosphere. We felt at home.The host was very kind and got us with the car at the restaurant.We have been the second time at Kiltearn house and it stayed our favorite in Scottland.

Thank you Margaret for your thoughtful review

A friendly welcome was received from an attentive host. The accommodation is well appointed and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was very tasty and the bed very comfortable.Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Very comfortable room and very well looked after. A wee bit off the beaten track but well worth it.Great hosts and overall highly recommended

Spacious comfortable rooms and a good breakfast cooked to order. Personal attention without feeling overcrowded. Would definitely use again when in the area. Very good value and in an excellent position overlooking the Cromarty Firth.

We loved our stay here. There was a warm welcome, the owners are friendly and very courteous, the room was comfortable, the wifi great and the food was amazing. We will be back

We had an excellent stay using Kiltearn House as our base for exploring a few distilleries. Rooms were very clean and comfortable and breakfasts, delicious and well presented.There was an interesting drinks list which enabled us to enjoy a couple of different malts by the log fire as well as a very good red wine. Hosts very welcoming, extremely helpful and generous with their time to ensure guests enjoy their stay.

My friend and I stayed at Kiltearn House overnight on our way to Orkney. A perfect stopping off location, beautiful house with great views. Excellent facilities, lovely people and great breakfast. We would highly recommend Kiltearn House

Stayed for one night during a business trip. Lovely accomodation, clean and fresh spacious rooms. Kindness and hospitality was amazing.Recommend and would absolutely stay again.

We received a warm welcome from Ed and Nell in this beautiful Victorian house extremely well refurbished, where we instantly felt like home. The view from our room was superb. The breakfast (especially the eggs, black pudding and haggis) is excellent, as is the bedding.Our only complaint is about the low pressure and the small size of the bathroom. Apart from this very slight inconvenience, we highly recommend Kiltearn house, where we spent three marvellous nights.

Thank you Ed and Nell for your warm hospitality during our stay with you.Luxurious inside and out, this beautiful House was wonderful to visit and we hope to come back in the near future.Jim and EileenJim and Eileen

Very comfortable stay in beautiful location with extremely accommodatingand friendly hosts.

Hard to believe so close to A9 which made visits to Dunrobin & Royal Dornoch easy, yet feels as if far away from hustle & bustle.Website doesn't do justice to the natural beauty and relaxed common areas.Ed & Nel extremely accommodating from delicious breakfasts, meal & attraction recommendations, to single malts in front of wood/coal fire.

Excellent nights stay in a warm friendly well looked after establishment.Ed and Nel were first class hosts.

We thoroughly enjoyed the brief stay. Superb room and excellent breakfast. The warm welcome plus tea and homemade cake a particular treat. Mel and husband couldn't do enough to make us comfortable. Great location and excellent views. Would certainly come again. T & F

Kiltearn House is a lovely place to stay with beautiful views over the Cromarty Firth.The accommodation and food is excellent. Ed and Nell are perfect hosts, very warm and friendly. If returning to this part ofScotland in the future we will most certainly stay here again.

Wonderfulplace to stay. I would stay there again if I have the opportunity to travel in this area again. Our hosts, Ed and Nell were such nice, friendly people and they took care of us well.

calmy and beautiful location

I found my stay at the Kiltearn house very pleasant, relaxing and set in a very scenic location.The room was nice, clean, of good size and all amenities provided.Breakfast was good, great selection and can beplanned in for your needs.The location was good for Invergordon by car 15 minutes and fairy easy access.All in all, a great stay and would recommend.

Made to feel very welcome, nothing to much trouble, very helpful. The guest rooms are spacious and homely and the guest house is in an excellent setting. What not to like.

My wife and I visited Kiltearn during our honeymoon. We were immediately struck by the beauty of the house and the warm welcome we received from Ed and Nel, the owners. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, the house was laid out with guest convenience in mind, and the included breakfast was enormous and delicious.But the best part of our stay was Ed and Nel. They gave us restaurant and touring recommendations, they came to pick us up from the pub, they even allowed us to throw some of our laundry in with the house's laundry (necessary after 2 weeks of traveling)! We were absolutely blown away by their hospitality and warmth. Our stay at Kiltearn was a highlight of our honeymoon.I would definitely stay at Kiltearn House again, and I will definitely recommend it to anybody I know traveling in the area.

Beautiful location for this Guest House which has about 6 rooms. We were greeted warmly on arrival by the owners Ed and Nell. Rooms were large and clean, with ensuite shower room. We had a view over Chromarty Firth. Excellent breakfast with lots of choice. Highly recommended.

A very beautiful place to stay with stunning views. Very friendly owners who provided a personal service helping in anyway they could and cooking a very delicious breakfast. Rooms were large, clean and very comfortable. A really lovely stay.

A superb location with a great view. Perfectly clean and spacious rooms. Very warm and friendly hosts. We shall return!

excellent location, very warm welcome and hosting by owners, rooms spatious and with all comfort !

Idyllic setting, beautiful house, fantastic acomodation7Idyllic setting, lovely house, great accommodation &friendly hosts. Most enjoyable

As this was my first visit to Kiltearn House I wasn't sure what to expect. I could not have been happier. First the location is a dream, the house, an old manse, is beautiful and tastefully cared for, and as for the greeting it was faultless. As usual I arrived after hours on a motorcycle and was offered all the help I could have wanted. The room had tastefully modern furniture and fittings and I really wanted for nothing. After freshening up I was given a lift into town for my dinner and offered a lift back when I was ready! Needless to say the breakfast was a treat and taken in the conservatory overlooking the garden. Very nice. Overall very comfortable and friendly with exceptional service.

Charming comfortable house. Hosts very attentive and friendly. Lovely location.

We recently stayed with my 7 year old daughter.As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome. Our stay couldn't have been better, the house is fabulous and the rooms have those special little touches. The breakfast was great, lots of choice and delivered with a friendly chat. It was my mother and father's birthday during our stay and Kiltearn House arranged beautiful flowers and champagne for them. I will definitely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to everyone.Thank you!

Was very well looked after. Nothing was too much bother

Had a very enjoyable stay hereLocation is wonderful on the banks of the Cromatry FirthFood was lovely and room was very comfortable and cleanwill be back for another stay!!

We used Kiltearn House as a stopover for a short business trip to this highlands area.We really loved the house and would like to live there ourselves! The location is beautiful and peaceful with views across the water and surrounding countryside, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bed and pillows are good quality, rooms are tastefully decorated and all areas are immaculate.The hosts Ed and Nel will provide evening meals on request and we enjoyed our well cooked and presented meal.There is a very nice guest lounge with quality magazines where we relaxed with coffee and fine whisky from the local distillery.Ed and Nel are attentive and friendly but not obtrusive. Breakfast is taken in the conservatory where the lovely views can be admired. The house is surrounded by neat lawns with some seats. The location is good for interesting walks. I think this place would be especially lovely in summer, but delightful in all seasons.We would certainly return to Kiltearn House.

Thank you for your lovely and detailed review. We look forward to meeting you both again. Ed & Nel.

I wasn't actually the guest but I understand from my colleague who stayed that everything was great at Kiltearn House.Very comfortable and clean.Should be back very soon!As the "booker", the reservation was handled swiftly and efficiently by Ed - thank you.

Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, especially as it was a colleague who stayed. Really appreciated. Ed

Enjoyed our stay at Kiltearn, excellent, spotlessly clean, facilities, good food and a friendly welcome.The only room for improvement would be a bigger sign on main road, both we when we arrived and our subsequent taxi driver missed it and the road the guest house is on isn't on all sat nav's

pretty good location, best accomodation we found in scotland, lots of nature around the house (watching from the windows)will book again when coming to this area

Response

Thank you so much Armin............it would be good to read what you spotted!

We stayed 2 nights in Kiltearn house and absolute loved the place. Very warm welcomed we felt at home right away. Beautyful location and great house. We had dinner on the first night and delicious it was. We absolutely recommend this b&b and plan to go back for a longuer period.

Response

Great review thank you so much. Ed & Nel

Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kiltearn House, Ed and Nel made us feel very welcome and gave very good advise on where to go and what to do. Extremely helpful where it came to organising taxi's for the wedding we had to attend and airport runs. Rooms very clean and comfortable and in good decorative order.The scenery is stunning and we were very lucky to have sunny warm weather!Would recommend a stay here

Response

Thank you for your review, really pleased we could help and that you had such an enjoyable stay.

Had a really lovely stay. Amazing food, Ed and Nel were very attentive but also gave us space - the perfect balance. A massive improvement on the last place I stayed in the area (Ben Wyvis). Only downside was shower with low pressure but I still have to give five stars because it was such a great place to stay. Thank you very much.

i wish I had been able to stay longer - excellent accommodation and very welcoming. I look forward to being able to stay again in the future - first class!

Response

Very pleasant, clean, friendly, beautiful spot. Enjoyed it all.

First class guest house, warm and friendly atmoshpere.Clean and well presented with lots of interesting things to look at.Lots of gratuitous items.Host and hostess were very helpful.Would stay again.Thanks

My wife and I had a lovely stay. A beautiful and peaceful location. The hotel is comfortable and homely and our host and hostess were extremely welcoming. Wish we didn't have to rush off to catch the Hamnavoe ferry because we would have enjoyed a more leisurely breakfast (delicious) in the conservatory! We would highly recommend the Kiltearn House.

We found a very nice place in a beautifull garden just at the border of the water. The room was very nice. After a warm welcome, we enjoyed a excellent dinner.This is definitely one of the most beautifull places we have visited in Scotland.

We had a great time in Kiltearn house the region is beautiful and we had the chance to see dolphins not far Ed and his wife told us what to see around their home.The house is really confortable and the breakfast excellent.Marie from France.

A wonderful stay in an idyllic setting.We were made very welcome with an ecellent room and the food was extremely good.Whilst at the higher end of the price range, the facilities were very good and we had a most pleasant stay.Would definitely go again, but for longer.

Kiltearn House is a great place to stay whether for business or pleasure. It is quiet, comfortable and relaxing. The owners are lovely and the food is delicious. I would like to stay there again for a mini-break. I'd definitely reccomend it!

Response

Thank you Anna.............we would love to see you back for a mini-break!

This was our first visit to Kiltearn House, and from the start we were made to feel so welcome by Ed and Nel. Our room, the Superking was a real treat to be in.The decor was lovely, and small touches like fresh flowers just made all the difference. We ate in on both of our evenings at Kiltearn, and Nel's cooking was just superb. A real treat! Breakfast was just as impressive, and our mouths still water just thinking about the food! After our all too short two day stay, we felt we had become part of the family. we can't wait to return!

Response

Thank you for such a heartfelt review, we look forward to seeing you again in 2013

This is a beautifully situated guest house handy for those travelling in and around the highlands.The room I had was large and tastefully decorated with all the facilites you would need.Breakfast was promptly served and overall enjoyable.Would firmly recommend this guest house.

Beautiful House in an idylic location. From the moment of arrival greated very warmly and offered tea in the drawing room which was lovely. Breakfast was lovely served in a beautiful conservatory and the over service was very warm and personalised almost like staying with family and friends, will definately return if the opportunity arises. Thank you for a wonderful stay and lovely upgrade. Rating got stuck but 5/5!

If you want some luxury with wonderful hospitality then Kiltearn House Hotel is the place for you.Ed and Nel are truly lovely people who treat their guests as if they were part of their family.Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious and the last word in comfort.If we are ever up North again we certainly hope to book in.

My husband and I wanted a few days away from it all and needed some relaxing time to ourselves.The website looked promising and our expections were certainly surpassed.Nell and Ed are lovely people and great hosts.Nell's cooking is first class.We booked only for the first night, but dined in for three out of the four nights we stayed.There are plenty of places to visit, so would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting that area.

The perfect place to stay. You can tour the Highlands from this beautiful B&B and enjoy the perfect food, the beautyful rooms and most of all Ed & Nel, two wonderful persons, ready to help and cuddle you through your stay.We can't wait to be back at Kiltearn House!

Ed and Nel were very warm, friendly, and accommodating. I had a lovely stay at the Kiltearn. The view of the water was calming, and the ruined church was also captivating. The breakfasts were delicious, and the room was comfortable.
