I can't recommend this place highly enough. Beautiful room with incredible antique furniture and period detail, extremely warm welcome, and a delicious breakfast (gluten-free on request). I don't usually sleep too well on the first night in a new place but I slept like a log here - I think it was the combination of a very comfy bed and a homely, welcoming atmosphere. One drawback for some might be the fact that there isn't an ensuite, but I still had my own (very nice) bathroom just across the hallway.

I would definitley recommend this B&B...
Read moreLovely welcome & gracious, spacious bedroom. We haven’t slept in a 4 poster for years & this one so, so comfortable. |No en-suite as such - but so what - as there’s a perfectly adequate / effectively ‘private’ bathroom across the landing. As for breakfast the following morning ...... absolutely delicious & such generous quantities with the “Full Scottish”. It filled us up for another days drive.!!||Carlyle Ho. doesn’t pretend to be a hotel but without doubt this is the very best B&B we’ve ever stayed in. As reviewers have already observed it’s also an ideal half-way house between southern England & the Highlands and is pooch-friendly. Get in...
