“Nice place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2013

My partner and I spent two nights there, although it was not the superior our room was big and warm, the garden is lovely and the whole place perfectly clean. Just so you know there is a 5 minutes drive to town.

“A warm welcome”

Lovely warm welcome from Elaine as I arrived and the accommodation is beautiful. Every conceivable item you would need is supplied. Slept very well and woke to the sounds of birds chirping away. Fabulous Scottish breakfast, would happily stay here again.

Elaine and John were wonderful hosts, with an eye for detail and a beautiful guest house. We stayed in a very large double en suite (first one at the top of the stairs). The bed was huge, and the bathroom was fresh and modern, with big fluffy towels. The room was warm and made up daily We had complementary mineral... More

“MODEST AND UNDERESTIMATED BY IT'S 'RATING'”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2013

We are big travellers, both abroad and the UK, in particular Scotland. We are diverse travellers, regularly "roughing it" with the family tent and occasionally B+B's. The first thing to note is price. It worked out £30 per adult per night and when you consider or indeed compare this price with one at, say, Blackpool (urgh), you get a flavour... More

“Fantastic B&B with a very warm welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2012

Only stayed at Mavisburn for one night but thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the peaceful, tranquil surroundings of Fort Augustus (especially after the noise of a city centre hotel in Edinburgh with a paper thin mattress!). On arrival John showed us to our beautiful room which had a country cottage feel despite having all the mod cons. He then prepared... More

“The Perfect Hosts!”

Stayed for one night in advance of the Loch Ness Marathon. We were blown away by the warmth and accommodating attitude of Elaine & John. The place itself is modern and clean as a whistle inside. The hospitality was second to none. My legs are telling me that I am never EVER to do the Loch Ness Marathon again but... More

“We loved this B & B !”

Elaine and John couldn't have been nicer. I felt like I was in a cute fairytale forest. Quaint & quiet in a nice forested area yet close enough to town for dining. There suggestions for dining were perfect. We loved the Boathouse restaurant with our water view. Great communication as I was trying to make travel arrangements from the states... More

We stayed one night in Mavisburn in our way from the highlands to the Borders.
