Garvault House

We were warmly greeted as "Storm Floris" really started to hit hard. We had driven in the Saab 900 from Smoo Cave and had come across fallen trees and other gnarly weather, at times wondering if we would have to turn back or sleep in the car! Eva greeted us and brought us in - and Adrian quickly brought about some red wine to warm our spirits. The dietary needs from some of our party were not even blinked at, and we sat at a table seating 14 with my three year old daughter at the head and the host at the other. It was a great night with lots of people sheltering from campsites or blocked off from being able to get home. The food was amazing, no chips, beans and tesco sausages here. A respite from the usual Scottish high street affair. The bedrooms were wonderful and cosy and the house decor was very special. We loved our stay and we think we should make it a yearly event. It was so wonderful to be adopted by a real family for even one night when otherwise, hotel living is often so asepticized. A++ will definitely stay again.

Lovely place and owners were so lovely. No tv in the room but I don’t normally watch it anyway as I watch programmes on my laptop. WiFi good in public areas but no signal in my bedroom so I read my book. Lovely homemade meal eating with the owners and even noted that I was pescatarian so I loved the locally caught trout.

Eva’s consideration for Charlie in choice of evening meal was much appreciated. Everyone was very attentive and helpful and we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Will look to return and stay for longer.
