To be honest there is not much we can say that could sum up the view from our bedroom window 'fab' Upon our arrival we were greeted by the femal owner who was polite and helpful telling us where we could eat, drink and get cash! The room was very spacious and spotless! My only criticism would be the over... More

Yes, Donan House is very, very close to the Eilean Donan Castle - I could see it sitting on our bed, or while brushing my teeth at the bathroom sink (for much longer than usual - if I had this view at home, I think my teeth would be much whiter ...). And I'm telling you we loved the place!... More

Stayed here for two nights at the end of April. We picked this B & B as it was the closest to Eilean Donan Castle, about a hundred yards away. We read some of the dodgy reviews but decided to go anyway and make our own minds up. So glad we did as the room was superb, beautifully furnished and... More

Having travelled throughout Scotland , we can honestly state, our stay at Donan House, was perfect in every way. The location itself is wonderful. The room with its marvelous view of the castle and loch was spacious and had all the comforts you would expect, with a superb en-suite. The breakfast was excellent. The friendly welcome and atmosphere thus generated... More

My friend and I stayed at this B&B for one night only and were puzzled about the hosts' attitude. When we arrived we were asked to remove our shoes (which I understood perfectly as the rooms have white carpets!) The gentleman brought our luggage up the stairs to our room and was very talkative. in the morning he just sat... More

We stayed a this fantastic B & B for three nights 31 May, 1 and 2 June 2011. The rooms are furnished to a very high standard and spotless. A generous cooked breakfast was offered and our hosts even went to the trouble of getting some excellent Stornoway black pudding for us. Cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurts were also available... More

Have to agree with other comments regarding hosts. He was helpful, but she is not a people person. Certainly not made to feel welcome. Breakfast disappointing. Rooms were lovely & clean with great views. More

Great hospitality. As Canadian seniors we were not disappointed in Jim and Dot's wonderful B&B. Recommend this to all visitors. The surrounding area and their wonderful disposition. You can tell they enjoy doing B&B for the same reason we all enjoy going to them. It is a home away from home...the Ensuites are always a nice touch. Close to Eilean... More

I get it... most B&B's have a tarrif predicated on the number of guests not the room itself. It makes sense when you are serving full breakfasts as cost go up as you have more mouths to feed. However Donan House serves toast. That's it... just toast. The rest you get yourself... some fruit, a selection of dried cereals and... More

My husband & I stayed one night at Donan House and were surprised to be asked to put Booties on over our shoes before walking into the building. The wife seemed cold, however, the husband we met later, was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and new. The beds were too hard for us, so those of... More
