Julie and Julian's attention to detail is unsurpassed from the home made scones on arrival to the bath rope and slippers. Nothing is to much trouble even a take away breakfast for our unfortunate very early start when we reluctantly had to leave beautiful wester Ross. Fantastic garden room very clean and everything thing we needed was provided. Both the... More

From the moment we arrived everything in The Old Smiddy was excellent. Julie and Julian gave us a warm welcome with the offer of tea and homemade shortbread ( which was delicious), even although there were tea and coffee making facilities available in our room.This has never happened to me before and I felt so welcomed by it. We were... More

It's a superb B&B. You can tell when the owners enjoy and care about their place and it showed at the Old Smiddy. The attention to detail was much appreciated. It's very clean and comfortable.

The Old Smiddy at Laide is well worth a detour if you are coming from the ferry at Ullapool. We stayed for a week with our dog in the garden room. It was immaculate throughout from the super sized bed to the crystal water and wine glasses in the room for our own use. The little extras like botlle opener... More
