The Hightae Inn Reviews

Tucked away in the village of Hightae, near Lockerbie, this bed and breakfast is second to none. From the moment of arrival, with tea and biscuits, Morag makes you most welcome. Hightae Inn is a converted pub with a maze of rooms and intriguing decor. We had an evening meal and to was totally scrumptious. The room we stayed in was quiet, well equipped and such a comfortable bed. Breakfast was equally gorgeous. We would certainly stay again. Thanks Morag

Morag is a wonderful hostess and an excellent cook. It was nice to be able to have a pre dinner drink as the Inn is licensed. We really enjoyed our stay at the Hightae and will definitely visit again on our way up north. The Inn is in a very quiet village so a good nights sleep is assured!

We booked this lovely place as a stop-over to break up our return journey from the Highlands. Everything about our stay was utterly perfect and nothing was too ,much trouble for Morag....even catering for my fussy vegan husband! She had gone to the trouble of ensuring she had vegan milk alternatives for drinks and cooked us a beautiful meal for the evening. And my goodness; can Morag cook! From the evening meal to the breakfast, everything was stunningly presented and tasty. The bed was comfortable and the whole hotel was tastefully decorated. Morag has a real gift with people and seems to know intuitively exactly what you wanted or needed. A really special place.

The best B&B possible! Once again, Morag looked after us brilliantly. The accommodation is the most comfortable it could be, it is incredibly peaceful in a beautiful location, and the food cooked by Morag both for supper and breakfast is so very tasty. Thank you Morag, as we say every time: we'll be back! X

One of the loveliest B&B experiences ever. Morag, our hostess was a treasure. Her culinary skills and hospitality were exceptional. We stopped for an overnight enroute to Isle of Skye...a respite we won't soon forget.

The Hightae Inn is a little gem. It’s clean, beautifully decorated and quite obviously run with much thought and love. We had such a friendly welcome and Morag was a superb host throughout. Our evening meal (at extra cost) was 3 courses of amazing food with expert flavourings. Morag is an amazing cook. Highly recommended and yes we will be back for another stay soon.

We had an incredible time at the Hightae Inn! Would 100/10 recommend for anyone traveling through Lockerbie! We went for a business trip from the U.S. and stayed five days. The rooms were the cutest and super comfortable, the food was INCREDIBLE every night and Morag the host was the GREATEST, super kind and the most hospitable person we’ve ever met. I will definitely make a trip back just to stay again and enjoy for a holiday. Lots of beautiful scenery and animals nearby. If you love dogs, must meet Tom. 😍

Morag is a perfect host, very welcoming and friendly. The room was immaculately clean. The food was also amazing, with homemade breads and deserts. It’s worth staying here just for the food.

Stopped over for one night enroute from Cheshire to Argyll. Our room was spotless and well appointed. Superb evening meal prepared by our host Morag, using fresh and home grown ingredients. Quality selection of spirits at the bar. Nice, comfy lounge to relax in. Lovely, homely place to stay for the discerning traveller. Very convenient for the M74 route. Will definitely be back!

What a find! Our one night stopover en route south from Skye was an absolute delight. A quiet, comfortable room; great home cooking for dinner; and a wholesome breakfast to set us on our way. Hightae Inn is close enough to the motorway to be convenient but feels like a different world away from the noise and traffic. While most guests are probably just ‘passing through’ we felt the Inn and its surrounding area could easily merit a longer stay. Morag (ably assisted by her charming niece) was the perfect host. All those 5 star reviews are most definitely justified!

We just stayed the one night, on our way north. Ten minutes off the motorway, this is a perfect stopover. We arrived early evening and had to be off first thing after breakfast. We didn’t have time to explore round about - maybe next time. Morag is a fantastic host. Our room was pleasant, clean and quiet. We had dinner which was lovely. And a whisky to finish sitting in front of the fire was a perfect start to our holiday in Scotland. Great breakfast, especially the fruit and yoghurt. Highly recommended. I'm not sure when we’ll be heading up that way again. But when we do, we will endeavour to make this our stepping place.

I stayed here as a solo traveller on my way to catch the ferry home. I was given a warm welcome by Morag, the food was freshly cooked as imaginative - I’m vegetarian and I really appreciated the efforts Morag went through to make a tasty meal for me. The public spaces are warm and inviting and there was a lovely wood burning stove which I enjoyed relaxing in fron of whilst reading a book. My room was spacious and relaxing and the bed comfortable. I love the decor! Off road parking too. I can’t fault this place

We stayed for 2 nights and received a very warm and friendly welcome. Our room was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed relaxing breakfasts and suppers. The food was first class. We would stay again. Thanks to Morag for a lovely stay

Morag looked after us extremely well from the very friendly initial welcome right through to our relaxed departure. Our room was quiet and comfortable and Morag cooked us an excellent dinner as well as providing a splendid breakfast. Thoroughly recommended for anyone wanting to visit a delightful part of Scotland or just needing to stop off for a night or two on the way to other areas.
