It was evident that someone had carefully considered all the things we could need and had provided them. The kitchen was also a lovely space for cooking and eating together. I don’t like definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone who asked.

Grimisdale Guest House

Leverburgh

Featuring a private bathroom, units at the bed and breakfast also provide guests with free WiFi, while selected rooms include a terrace. Roddy and Carolanne were incredible hosts! They were both so professional and had one of the nicest homes I've stayed in. Roddy even offered to cook for us if we couldn't find dinner on a late night. We managed to find something else but his lack of hesitation to help us out in a pinch was so kind. I wish them all the best and wish we could have stayed longer.
