My husband and I spent one evening at Sheildaig Farm B&B during our 3300 mile UK road trip. We arrived late in the afternoon on a very rainy day. We were in communication with Lesley and although she was out running errands when we arrived, she left the keys and instructions, so we had no problems getting into our accommodations, The Cameron Cottage.
The drive up is a little narrow and scary. Once we drove it the first time, it wasn't a big deal later in the day. Definitely arrive during the daylight, so that you can see where you're driving and keep an eye out for signage, as it is a bit hard to see. I never felt like our car was going to get damaged, just that it was bumpy and narrow.
The rooms are very cute and filled with basically ever amenity to make our stay comfortable- kettle, microwave, toaster, nice linens, great smelling soap and shampoo...there was even a stack of entertainment gossip magazines, which is a guilty pleasure of mine and I really enjoyed!
We didn't meet Lesley until the morning. She had stopped by in the evening to say "Hi" but we mistook her knocking for a noise outside and didn't open the door until she had already left. I wish that we had met her the evening before, as she was super friendly and welcoming. The place has an overall nice vibe!
Breakfast was wonderful. The Breakfast area feels more like a restaurant than a B&B. The tables were set up in a room with floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking their back garden. Very pretty! The food was delicious too. There was a cold bar with cereals, juice and yogurt. Lesley also did made-to-order breakfasts.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sheildaig Farm and recommend it to those visiting the area. read more
