    It is a 45min drive from the airport.

    I cannot recommend this bed and breakfast enough! The location is absolutely unbeatable, with stunning views of the sea right across the street. Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore was truly a dream come true. The rooms were beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable, making it the perfect place to unwind and relax. The hosts were so warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast spread was delicious and varied, with fresh local produce and homemade treats that left us feeling satisfied and ready for a day of exploring. I cannot wait to return to this little slice of paradise by the sea. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

    Nothing! Though next time I'll book a room with a view!

    Helen was a great host from the start. Even though I only informed her on short notice, I was able to check in late. All communication was very easy. I stayed at a small room without sea view, which was expected, though the windows were very small indeed. If I stayed for longer than two days, or hadn't known in advance that the room was to the back, I might not have enjoyed my stay as much, as the room was quite dark. But as it was, I was lucky that I got a room at all, booked only a few days in advance. The room itself was nice enough, small but bigger than I expected (room for a cupboard and a commode), the decor quite cosy. The in-room tea making facilities were very good, and Helen brought me some fresh milk on the first night. The room was spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. The dog was very well behaved and quite friendly, but Helen makes sure you only meet him if you are okay with dogs - a great set-up. I had brought takeaway for dinner (forewarned that there isn't much food available locally in the evenings). Helen brought me a place setting so I could eat it in the common room, which is slightly cooky but absolutely lovely and comfortable, with a really good collection of books about the area. Parking on the street is easy and convenient. I loved walking on the sandy beach first thing in the morning, even if it is just a narrow one. I can't wait to go back, though next time I'll make sure to book early enough to get a sea-facing room!

    The all-too-short stay.

    So much attention paid to the ambience-a delightful property. Comfortable bed with a view of the ocean from the bed . Reminded me of a book I read as a child which described a bed flying out of the window into fairytale country .there is a REAL fairy glen close by! Waking up to the rhythmic sound of the ocean and sea birds was such a novelty.

    Absolutely nothing - we loved everything!

    The place was lovely, the host even more so. The house is kept wonderfully well. It offers all the luxuries one can hope for from a lovely aunt's house where you go for the holidays and get spoiled and cared for over and over again. Helen, the host, was super nice: available practically 24/7, ready to help you in any way she thinks of and great with tips on where to go and where to eat. We will definitely go back and we have already started telling friends and sharing fotos!

    The shower isn‘t great when you want to clean yourself without getting your hair wet. But its not impossible either - so no major complaint…just if I have to think about something negative.

    Friendly host, great communication in advance, excellent bed, falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the sea, very quiet at night so no problem leaving the window open, beautiful area with wonderful walks close by. Very beautiful house.

    The fact I couldn’t stay longer, it was such a beautiful place I wish I had more time haha

    We arrived a bit earlier than expected but there was a cute bench at the front door so we just sat there for a little while, whilst we waited to check in. Helen is such a lovely lady, she was so kind the entire stay. I also got to meet Beau and he was so friendly and welcoming too (definitely a good boy). The b&b itself have a lovely homely feeling to it. The bed was really comfy and the room also had a coffee machine and a good sized fridge in the wardrobe. It was my first time visiting Rosemarkie and I will definitely be coming back. I would also recommend staying here to anyone that mentioned they wanted to stay near inverness. It’s the perfect place to go if you love nature as you have the beach, there’s a woodland path called “fairy glen” and then there’s also the roads which have great views of mountains and fields for miles! 10/10

    Nothing.

    The room was very clean and beautifully presented, and very generous in size. It had a beautiful view down the beach. Everything was thought of, and I liked the addition of the fridge with fresh milk and water. It would be handy if you were staying longer to put drinks in. Helen was really kind and helpful with booking a table for an evening meal. Tide times were written up and when best to watch for dolphins. I saw loads which was a real treat. Breakfast was really nice with plenty of options. Even though I only stayed one night, I would happily stay for longer as the area is so beautiful and the guest house really lovely. It also has a large guest lounge which is also where breakfast is served. Thank you for a great stay Helen, and for the room upgrade which was a nice treat. I'd highly recommend.

    Thank you Helen for making us both feel very welcome and for allowing us to share your beautiful art and craft period house for 4 nights . The view was breathtaking looking out across the bay. We had a double room which was very comfortable which had everything we needed and it was spotlessly clean. The en suite had everything we needed and lovely bedding and towels. Breakfast was cooked to order and was all lovely local produce. Great location on the Black Isle and loved seeing Bo the black Labrador in the garden. Can't wait to come back.

    I got surprised when I saw on booking.com that I had given 7.5 on a review. Which I have definitively not done. Is this some kind of automation? must be corrected.

    It was awsome laying in bed and look straight out to the ocean. Nice surroundings with sme very good restaurants nearby, hiking possibilities, beach, and we some dolphins!! Helen was a very good host.
