I thought I'd post up the B&B's and Cafe's we used on our Scotland trip for reference if anyone else was up that way.

B&B's

Hawes - Southview

really nice B&B with garage space for the bikes if you want it or plenty of off road partking,
lovely owners (if slightly bonkers)
good breakfasts

we intend going back here sometime to explore more of the area

Dalry - The Clachan Inn

room was OK but needed a good make over, noisy at night though as we were over the kitchen and the refrigeration units made a racket
parking is on the pavement outside the pub
food was excellent though

probably not one I'd use again


Oban - Genrigh Guest House

lovely big room and very comfortable bed,
dotty old owner but very nice
great breakfasts
plenty of off road parking for the bikes


Skye

5 Drumfearn

good basic B&B out of the way down a gravel track, plenty of space to park the bikes out of the way

Bla Bheinn

5* B&B, simply fantastic, huge room, complementary beer, brilliant breakfast, sauna, really nice owners with batty dogs
access is down a gravel drive and rather dodgy looking cattle grid and plenty of parking space

I know where I'm stopping if I every go back to Skye :)


Gairloch - Gairloch Highland Lodge

old fashioned room, reasonable breakfast

nothing more to say really...


Ullapool - Morefield Motel

tiny room but with all the facilities (including creaking bed) parked right outside the room
Breakfast was good but evening meals were very good (especially if you like seafood)


Tongue - Ben Loyal Hotel

average room and food but OK


Lochearnhead - Lochearn House

very nice B&B, comfy room, served with delicious carrot cake on arrival
owned by a retired chef so breakfast was excellent
parking was just on their drive but OK

we'll probably use this one again


Moffat - Buccleuch Arms Hotel

good room and food,
each bike gets it's own garage :)

owned by bikers so good banter and recommended routes etc.

book direct and bikers get a discount :)


I'll post some of the café's we liked later
