Simply the best B&B ever! As if this place needed any more great reviews, but here's another. Everything you could possibly want from a stay in Scotland: a beautifully looked after home, cosy bed, hot shower, friendly welcoming people, absolutely delicious home cooked food and a cuddly dog. The location is stunning and you'll never want to leave.

Excellent guesthouse. High standards throughout. Restored our faith in Scottish hospitality. Lovely en suite room, great food and superb hosts - fully licensed too. If we are ever walking in the area again, we would definitely return.

Stay number 6 with Heather, Ed, Thomas and Finn at The Bridge of Gaur Guesthouse - says it all really!!! As a solo traveller it really means a lot to be welcomed into someone's home not only as a return guest but as a friend. Room 1 has a beautiful view out over the hills, is spacious, comfortable and clean with a large ensuite shower room ideal for freshening up after a day in the mountains. There's a squashy sofa too for chilling on after said day in the hills before making your way down to dinner in the cosy dining room. Heather's food is so good!!! On 2 of the 3 nights I had the Garlic Mushroom and cheese tart followed by the Stornoway Chicken. On the middle night I had Toast Skagen and Venison Meatballs. Ed is in charge of breakfast and cooks a mean sausage! There's also a nice selection of cereals, juice, tea and coffee. Heather and Ed certainly know how to look after their guests with the 'small things' such as newspaper to pack your wet boots if the Scottish weather hasn't played ball on your hike. Thanks again for a fun, friendly, awesome stay!!! Roll on number 7... …

A fabulous B&B which my son & I stayed at on our cycle adventure. We had a bit more 'adventure' than planned and Heather & Ed couldn't have done more to help us. Such a warm and friendly welcome when we finally arrived, together with great food and comfy beds really turned around our difficult day. A lovely location with stunning views, we hope to be back with slightly less drama next time...

Stayed here with my brother in law on a cycling trip. In fact, planned the trip around this B&B partly because of its location and partly because it look lovely. It did not disappoint. Arrived very late, and they held the evening meal for a couple of hours which was much appreciated. They also set us up for the day after with food and sandwiches. The rooms are lovely, very homely. The food is real nice, the best from the whole trip. The view and surroundings need to be seen, words and pics don’t really do it. Thanks for looking after us. Would definitely stay here again.

I think the fact that this was my 5th stay at Bridge of Gaur Guesthouse says it all! Heather, Ed, Thomas and Finn (the dog) welcomed me back as a friend which is lovely as a solo traveller. Having spent my last 4 visits in Room 1 at the front of the house I was given the option of Room 2 (at the front with a mountain view but no ensuite) or Room 4 (at the back with a woodland view and ensuite). I opted from Room 4 which may now be my favourite room! A large, clean, cosy room with a massive comfortable bed and modern furniture, it was lovely. The ensuite was also nice and spacious with a great shower. I had dinner both nights and highly recommend the Mushroom soup, Toast Skagen, Venison meatballs and Chicken Tikka Masala. The food homemade and very tasty. The wine was also lovely and there is a great selection of drinks available. Breakfast was also very tasty. I guarantee I'll be back soon! …

Hi Emily, thank you again for another amazing review! ED & I enjoyed your company again and looking after you with your favourite wine and chuffed you liked the new additions to the menu. Finn and I enjoyed our 8 mile walk together too in the hills. You are now indeed a gracious friend and we look forward to your next visit and another walk! Best wishes Heather, Ed, Thomas & Finn

Stayed with Heather, Eddy and Thomas for one night arriving at 11am from the sleeper train. Despite our early arrival they welcomed us warmly with tea, hot chocolate and advice on where to walk next. We had a fabulous meal, delicious food cooked to an excellent standard. Then Thomas whisked our daughter off for a game of scrabble whilst we had a dram and a chat. We had wonderful walking in the area, which is stunning but the genuine hospitality at Bridge of Gaur Guesthouse made this part of our trip all the more enjoyable. I am pretty bad at actually giving reviews but I would highly recommend a stay here

A marvellous spot. We stopped over whilst on a cycle tour between Glasgow and Inverness. A lovely room and great food. The hosts were very helpful too -we had forgotten any chain oil so they even helped by leaving some next to the bikes - so we could apply. Would recommend to anyone in this area

We have just returned from a holiday in Scotland. To break the journey up we booked a night at The Bridge of Guar B&B. It turned out to be a very good decision. Heather and Eddie who own the accommodation are fabulous hosts making you feel very welcome. The bedroom was spotless and ultra comfortable with a lovely large bathroom. The guest lounge is lovely and you can enjoy a wee dram or two before you go into the dining room for an evening meal which was cooked by Heather. The food was absolutely delicious with a great menu choice. It was served to us by a lovely local lady who had a brilliant sense of humour. Eddies breakfast the following morning was superb as well, again there was a great menu choice. Thank you Heather and Eddie for making us feel so welcome and we can’t wait to visit again with Frank.…

Just spent an amazing couple of days here. The area is beautiful, scenery in every direction, deer running free and quiet roads. Great for cycling, walking and paddle boarding. The guest house is so comfortable and welcoming. We had a lovely meal there and great breakfasts. The website is ‘The Middle of Nowhere’ and in a way aptly named but there is a lot more there than there appears. We took the train to Corrour Station from Rannoch (good tearoom) and cycled back. Tough going but Loch Ossian was beautiful and much more walking there.
