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
