We stayed with Tony and Jill for two nights in April and were warmly welcomed and looked after very well indeed. Our accommodation was cosy and a guest lounge was a huge asset for relaxation after walks and meeting other guests. We can highly recommend this as a good base to explore Durness and surrounds.

We stayed for one night at Hillside B&B and were very impressed with the welcome with coffee and carrot cake. The room and bathroom were of a high standard and the breakfast was excellent, however if you are a light sleeper you may have a problem sleeping as the soundproofing is not particularly good, especially if you have soldiers in...

Thanks to Tony and Jill for a lovely welcome, local knowledge and a great night's sleep. We've been trying to go over to Cape Wrath for years and Tony fixed it for us in a few minutes. Excellent value for money.

Our stay at Hillside was short , two nights, but absolutely sweet ! After driving for 11.5 hours we were greeted by Tony and Jill and offered tea and cake which was perfect after the long drive . Our stay was so relaxing and having our own sitting room was just wonderful . Tony and Jill made us so welcome... More

Fantastic place to stay ..! There is a very good reason this B&B is number one.. Great rooms, fantastic reception, and value for money. Having arrived in the freezing March weather by motorcycle, Tony was only to happy to offer the use of his garden hose to wash the road salt from the bike. After a very welcoming pot of... More

Tony and Jill (owners) were lovely. We were greeted with a hot drink and home made banana bread which helped after coming in from the freezing cold. Room was en suite, very clean, with a spacious power shower. Only negative I can say about the experience was the bed creaked a little with movement through the night. But all in... More

At Hillside you really can feel like home. Tony and Jill are just incredible. When we arrived we were welcomed by Tony who even knew our names from the reservation. The house is quite down to earth and feels comfortable and so much like home. You can relax in the lounge, where the breakfast is served. There you have a... More

What can I say - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Tony, Jill and Ellie at their lovely B&B in Durness. The B&B is balances beautifully the expectations of a professionally B&B with the comforts and atmosphere of your own home (or that of a really great friend). (Tony makes a cracking cup of tea.) On a wintery day, the... More

They were really helpful, friendly and hospitable people. The facilities were great- warm, comfy, clean and powerful heated showers and a chill out room-- the... More
