We stayed here at the start of a long journey in Scotland. You can not fault the place, friendly, well appointed, attention to detail, value for money. ....& a great breakfast. Yep there is the issue of the long flight of steps up to the place but as long as you are aware it is no big deal more

Julie and Bob were our hosts at the Briarbank. You should be aware that there is a steep climb from the road to the B&B, so you'll be taking your luggage up some stairs to get there. However, it is worth the effort. Julie greets you with a glass of whisky and some peanuts and is a welcoming hostess. We... more

Despite advisories about steps (there are some) we (mid 60's couple, not exceptionally fit) had no problem walking (with backpacks) from the train... more

Simply excellent in every respect. Beautiful bedrooms with four poster beds. Loads of little extras that make the stay that little bit better. Julie went beyond what you'd normally expect with great attention to every aspect of our stay. The breakfast is superb with a very wide choice all cooked to order. Especially liked the 'wee dram' that she gave... more

We, a group of six friends stayed at Brairbank as part of walking holiday en route to Mull, and we all agreed it was one the best B & B`s ever. Every attension to detail is there right down to robes and the single Malt we only touched the area including a very wet walk on Kererra, stil thoroughly enjoyable.... more
