    One minor comment concerned the antique bed. Given the fact that I believe it had bed springs, these had become tired and the bed sagged to one side. However we were so full of delicious food we still had a reasonably good nights sleep

    This excellent old building is situated right on the seafront in Arisaig. David and Penny gave us a very warm welcome and showed us to our room. This was warm and cosy with delightful views across the lock. The room was furnished with beautiful old furniture which gave it an antique charm. The meals served were excellent. First starters I had Grandads secret recipe Gravadlax which was truly divine. Then I enjoyed a large piece of halibut in a creamy crab sauce whilst my wife had chicken in a creamy leek sauce. Both were beautifully prepared and both were so delicious we had to try the desserts. We were not disappointed. The sticky toffee pudding and the chocolate fudge were amazing.

    The bedroom was cold when we arrived. Room may not have been used for some time. Extra heater provided so room heated up. Restaurant was cold on our first night, but again was Ok on our second night. Weather was exceptionally cold so this may not have helped.

    The food at dinner and breakfast was excellent. Service was equally good.

    Splendidly appointed twin room in a kline of elevated chalet units at the rear of the property - well sheltered from the coastal wind and overlooking the neat wee garden, with the bonus of a balcony and twin seat table. Set in a very convenient location on the waterfront in the heart of Arisaig, and with the fine dining at the Old Library Restaurant on site, where a very tasty and hearty breakfast was served.

    The owners were very friendly and accommodating, putting a lot of care and effort into making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room was excellent value for money, with gorgeous views. The food was delicious, and they were happy to adjust for my dietary restrictions. The location is perfect for the local amenities and beautiful coastal walks.

    This B&B offers fabulous views of the water as well as dinner and breakfast. We arrived after dark, but it was still easy to find; it was so late, the restaurant kitchen was about to close, but they accommodated us, and we had a wonderful, hot dinner. The dining room was cozy and warm, a wonderful place to come home to on a chilly, blustery night. We would recommend this place.

    A little dissappointed at the lack of gluten-free cereals for my husband. A little more research needed here.

    Excellent breakfast, comfortable bed and a good nights sleep. It was easy to come in late (we were out at an event)

    Staff were great, location in front of the bay in this quiet seaside town was superb with a comfortable bed and room. Enjoyed a pint in the sun on the patio. The food at the restaurant was excellent - we were happy we took the innkeeper's suggestion and made a reservation for dinner. Certainly recommend a stay here.
