There is a thin line between being helpfull and being patronizing. We felt the balance was strongly tending to the second. Providing a do and don’t manual to your guests is not done. Neither forcing to book in 5 restaurants (and pushing to know which one we had booked) => to get a commission? The no booking, no dinner arguement the owners told us was absolute nonsense. We were told ‘not to open the shower faucet too much ‘as water pressure was so high’, which was ridiculous as well. The owners wantee the old newspapers back we got from them, which we put in our walking boots in order to let them dry. We didn’t like the atmosphere hanging around our stay. Really sorry to give such a bad FB

it was a clean and nice room

The rules on arrival were a bit over the top. We felt awkward and afraid to make a mistake like banging a door, forgetting to remove shoes, be late for breakfast.

Breakfast was fine. Time was strict. During a chat with other guests we were interrupted and reminded of check out time, so we should get moving, it would have been more comfortable to allow us, adults to abide by the rules which were made very clear on arrival.

I didn’t like the spooky decor in the garden. I didn’t like how intense the owners were. I didn’t feel like I could fully relax (mentally, not physically) there unfortunately.

Breakfast, location, the bedroom

The weather was pretty awful, so came back everyday wet through. I was told that I wasnt allowed to take my wet clothes into my room. Fair enough I had to leave my boots. I was asked to give them my coat, trousers and even my backpack. This was not ideal as everything I needed was in it and had to empty it everyday. The next day I was eating in the dining room, you weren't allowed to eat in your room. I had left some bits on the radiator to dry. Iain said don't put anything on the radiator. A bit of coincidence that ne knew. He must have been in there. Everyday from then on, he said give me everything that's wet. I had to ask for my clothes when they were dry. Iain went in my room on couple more occasions. I felt uncomfortable and on edge the whole time I was there. I couldn't wait to leave. Too many rules. I have read previous reviews and I'm not the only one that thinks this.

Jackie was lovely, very kind and helpful, always had a smile for you. Good, clean b&b

Thankfully I had only booked this for a night. I didn’t feel like a paying customer but an imposing guest. It was probably the most uncomfortable stay I have had in any B and B. We reached the beechwood at 5pm. Upon entrance, the first exchange with the B and B staff was an instruction to take our shoes off in a very narrow porch before entering. We were then taken to our rooms where we were instructed to leave luggage on a luggage mat. My friend asked what he could do if it gets cold at night, because he felt a chill in his room, and was subjected to a 10 minute lecture which involved being told a variety of reasons why he would not get cold at this property, one of them being that the house had superb insulation. He was also told how powerful the showers were blah blah..After that my friend could not lock his door. When he told the host about it he was told “yes the lock does work”. It turned out it didn’t, but my friend was then told previous guests who had used that room were able to lock it. An hour later me and my friend went for dinner. In the morning at 7-730 am when my friend and I showered, they were far from power showers (we were told how powerful they were), the water was lukewarm at first then turned freezing cold. After breakfast I mentioned to Jackie that both my friend and I had had a cold shower in the morning. I was told I had had a shower before the central heating had been put on. There was no apology for the fact that the property is not marketed with the proviso that there would only be any hot water during certain hours. Me and my friend packed after breakfast and left the property as quickly as we could.

The property was very clean and you could see the hosts took extreme pride in their property. The location was also very good. If you don’t mind, or even like, regimentation and rules then this place is for you.

When we came to do the check-in, we were told we were not supposed to leave the B&B afterwards. We had friends waiting for us in another part of Glencoe and we didn't expect these rules. Normally, in a B&B, like in a hotel, we are free to come and go and this was not the case here. We didn't appreciate the hosts' attitude. Not everyone coming to Scotland plans on waking up at 7am to go hiking. People come for different reasons (relaxed holidays, special events...) and we didn't feel welcomed at all.

Really confortable

A little bit fussy, with lots of rules.

Nice big room, very clean, tidy and modern. Friendly hosts.

Too many rules for my liking, told to remove our shoes once we crossed the threshold, which is fair enough but it doesn't stop there, Ian spent 10 minutes going through how to open the windows properly, dont bang the hall door, dont drive over the cat, then ridiculed us for only staying 1 night in Glencoe and not having dinner pre booked... The cat was in the dining room next morning. No fresh fruit available for breakfast just tinned fruit. I could rant forever about our experience

Beautiful clean room and good sized bathroom This property is in a great location and Glencoe is a beautiful place

1. We were told that we couldn’t stay in the B&B whilst they were out because of insurance. So even though I didn’t feel well I had to leave the room for 2 hours. Which I thought was pretty awful. I would recommend upgrading your insurance. 2. For breakfast the cat jumped onto the table and stole some bacon from my partners plate. I would keep the cat outside of where people are eating. 3. When we mentioned we were climbing up a Munro, the host proceeded to list all the dangers of Munro’s and deaths that have occurred for inexperienced climbers. Not sure if this was because of our age, but wasn’t the best start to our weekend away.

Good location and nice place to stay
