Our second visit to Alexander House was as enjoyable as the first, last year. Although we only stayed the one night on our way home to the Highlands we were made to feel very welcome once again.

A perfect stop over on our journey to the Scottish Islands. Just off the main route, a welcoming hostess, a clean and warm room with good facilities, good breakfast options - well cooked, and restaurants in walking distance. All at a fair price. Recommended.

The room (indeed the whole house) was scrupulously clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was perfect. Catherine made the bacon, egg... More

When we arrived Catherine met us at the front door and spent a few minutes chatting with us.. The grounds are spotless... More
