“Room with a view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

My wife and I last went on a 'B&B' trip to Scotland in 1976. 4 nights at the Auld Alliance blotted out that (generally poor to bad) experience and replaced it with a special memory of quiet quality, an amazingly energetic and unendingly charming, helpful hostess (whose husband takes superb landscape photographs) and the stunning view across Gairloch from our bedroom. Breakfast is a happy occasion, with or without Corinne's speciality scrambled egg, smoked salmon and croissant. The location is an excellent centre for a number of hill, forest and coastal walks, of which Corinne can provide information and maps. Gairloch itself has some reasonable restaurants (quality and price) and a very good, informative local museum, well worth a visit on a wet morning. It was memorable for all the right reasons.

“what a beautiful view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

We had booked for 3 nights here. As we have been to Gairloch before We had a idea where it was. Well sign posted anyway. Corinne met us and showed us around. Our room was to the front of the house,up the stairs and had a stunning view of Gairloch.
The room was big with lovely wood furniture and lovely pictures of Ed Duncans landscape photos. En suite was a nice size lovely shower and some toiletries which was nice.
A tray with the usual coffee,tea,hot chocolate,sugar and milk and lovely biscuits. The room was cosy and the Wi Fi signal was excellent. TV,DVD player also.
The breakfast room was attached to the kitchen so Corinne chatted to us while making our breakfast. In the background she played Runrig music which was wonderful.Breakfast was excellent. One thing I did notice was it was not the tiny cereal boxes but a more bigger portion size.. A lovely selection of Jam's/Honey and a portion of grapes.
Corinne was a lovely hostess and made our stay a joy. We will return and will recommend to our family and friends.

“An authentic 4 star B&B, a rarity in Scotland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

This was the best B&B of our trip around the Highlands! Do not believe Visit Scotland's star review classification system. We stayed in a few «Four Star B&Bs» that should not have received more than 2 stars.

The Auld Alliance is excellent value! They deserve a real four star review! Corinne was an exceptional hostess and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. The room was very clean and comfortable. We stayed in the French room which offered a cute provincial inspired decor. The en-suite was amazing!

“A little gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011 via mobile

This B&B was a real "home from home" but without any of the chores or cleaning! Immaculately kept, amazingly friendly and definitely "a room with a view". We really didn't want to leave the relaxed surroundings and move on! Corrine, our host, could not do enough to help eve giving us a lift to the pub one evening and allowing us to drop our bags off early in the morning before the rooms were ready. She went above and beyond. The house was beautiful and the breakfast lovely. Value for money was super compared to other places we stayed in the area too. Can not recommend this place highly enough.

“Wish I could stay forever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011 via mobile

what an amazing b+b! although not a looker from the outside, the interior is so much more than you'd expect. We stayed in the french room which was well proportioned, tastfully decorated and with a lovely ensuite complete with oversized bath.
The brekkie was the best of our trip, truly full scottish and overlooking the loch.
Corinne was lovely the whole time, always going the extra mile for us.
