Having had negative experiences of Glen Orchy and Alder Lodge and been unable to get a room at Fort Charlotte, I thought I'd go a little further out. I tried Breiview. I would agree with the other reviewer in that the decor is a bit eclectic but the rooms are generally big and the proprietors are very nice and keen to help you out. The beds had weird sheets on them (winsiette I think it's called) which undoubtably practical is a shock to find in 2009. The hotel is quiet and I didn't have a problem with the communal living room. There is is whisky and other drinks which are provided on the basis of an 'honesty box'. It has lovely views from the living room across the sound and I saw both seals and an otter on the shore a short walk away. Competitively priced and good value for money. Oh - avoid the bedroom under the stairs (no.9 I think) as it can be noisy with people walking overhead. more

There is a shared lounge but due to the fact the windows won't open it gets intolerably hot in the summer. Our room was small and decorated in a seemingly random fashion , the rooms are in need of an upgrade.

The breakfast is very basic cooked one, with no fruit and orange being the only fruit juice.

The whole experience gives you the feeling the place was being run on the cheap and considering the rates aren't cheap leaves you feeling like you are being ripped off.

The saving grace was that the place had wifi if you sat near the entrance where you had line of sight to the owner's house and router

I just want to clarify some of the points made in the last review. It has only come to our attention from a satisfied customer who couldn't believe what was written and told us today. We advertise a nice view from our 8 metre square lounge and don't mention the view from the bedrooms. Saying that, 5 out of 9...
