Darroch View B&B

Guests praise the comfortable beds, exceptional cleanliness, and friendly hosts. They enjoy fabulously delicious breakfast and convenient location with stunning mountain views. No major drawbacks mentioned.

We were walking the Great Glen Way and West Highland Way and this was by far the best accommodation we used throughout. The host made us feel at home from the off, facilties were perfect and breakfast outstanding. So refreshing to find a place to stay that offered both excellence and value for money. We only stopped for one night wish it could have been more.

Our rooms, mine and a friends were booked through a travel agent. We arrived in the area at about 6 PM and while ordering dinner at a restaurant we decided we should contact the B and B where we were staying for the night. From the moment she answered the phone she had an attitude. She started by saying she had sent us two emails that day and had tried to call us. We are not from Scotland and our phones do not work there. We did use WIFI each night though to check emails and such. We NEVER received a call or and email from Darroch View. Anyway she told us we had to be at her facility before 7 to check in or we had no room for the night. We left my husband at the restaurant (we had already ordered) and since we were 20-30 minutes from her we drove above what speed was safe to the address provided. As we found the entrance my friend was driving a little too fast and tired to slow but, not to her satisfaction. We parked and she came up to me, the passenger and said "you better watch your speed here, you almost hit my dog." We saw her AND the dog on a leash. They were about 15-20 feet from the road...So we didn't almost hit the dog. This dog was a large pit bull type that kept lunging on the lead. We went inside with her grumbling the whole time. Checked in and she starts giving verbal instructions about locking this door but not that door and after 10 PM and my eyes glazed over. No written instructions like any reputable B and B would have. I will say this was one of the cleanest places we stayed our whole time in Scotland. The room with 2 twin beds was TINY, had to turn sideways to walk around the beds to the bathroom. She supplied plenty of towels, soaps, coffee packets, etc. We went to leave and the driver of our car found she had pulled in in such a position the she was having a hard time backing out. If you go forward there was a significant drop off and there was another car parked there along with a huge travel trailer. Space was VERY limited. She noticed a sign saying COTTAGE Parking with and arrow pointing to the right. So, she figured she would go that way and then turn around in that parking area. It was smaller than the parking in the front. We were trying to turn around doing the 2" one way and then 2" another way method with me watching to make sure she didn't hit the other car back there or any property. The owner comes out and starts yelling at the driver, YELLING. Telling her she is responsible for that customers car, ect. and we are going to hit it. The car we rented was one of those that turns itself off when you idle too long, etc Then she starts telling her she is clueless. Then she yells, just back out and continues to yell, "keep going". About half way out while backing up, her husband comes out. HE WAS WORSE. He kept telling the driver to get out and he would get the car out of there. She didn't want to because the car was rented in her name and she was responsible for it. I told him she was trying to be careful and not (de
