Nice home, small room with bath down hall, gracious owner, about 1 mile walk from town.  We needed a room at the last minute due to a cancellation at Whitehouse B&B.  Luckily they had a room.  It was small with a bath down the hall but the owner was very nice and everything worked out.  Thank you Sophia!

Reservation was cancelled at Whitehouse B&B, but happy we ended up here

Absolutely lovely house (but pay close attention to the directions to get there). Lots of lovely touches. Fantastic breakfast. Lovely hosts - impeccable. About a 10-15-minute walk into Fort Augustus. Would definitely stay there again

Great place - thoroughly deserving its 5 stars

For me, the title B&B conjures up images of places with a reception desk, probably a terrace style building, limited parking and at times, the decor is a little past its prime. I know there are plenty of exceptions to my image but at the core, this is how I see the word "B&B".  Simply put, Suardal is not a B&B, it is a home.

The house itself is about 2 minutes drive from the centre of Fort Augustus in a quiet location and is of modern design with plenty of parking on the drive. We were greeted with a warm smile from Sophia who let us in and showed us around.  We booked all three double rooms for one night.  

Sophia's taste in decor is similar to mine and I found myself admiring several pieces of furniture thinking that she would not notice if I packed them into the car as we left. One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor and has an ensuite. The other two are upstairs. 

They have set aside a large living room area specifically for guests to relax, with plush leather sofas, TV, etc which is separate to them.  The condition of the home is immaculate and the attention to detail is high.  Each room has a different style and all the bathrooms are very modern, spacious and sparkling clean. The home has underfloor heating throughout which is lovely on those cold, damp Scottish days.

One of the rooms upstairs has a jacuzzi bath and a large shower, the other is a large room with a balcony overlooking their back garden and has a large jacuzzi shower system with plenty of water jets to play with! Beds are large and with mattresses that feel brand new and very comfortable.

Sophia had breakfast ready for us around 8.15 ish.  She offers a continental style with plenty of choices.  Again the attention to detail was not lost on me and I noticed all the little things like the ribbon on the cutlery holders, the different types of crockery, the serving dishes and the linen along with the presentation of the food. 

Sophia and Ian are an interesting couple and I would have loved more time to get to know them better.  I did read the reviews on this place before I booked and noted, in particular, the one highlighting the 6-star rating.  I too truly agree.  Sophie and Ian go above and beyond in making all their guests comfortable and should I return to Fort Augustus, this is the only place I intend on staying.

Notes:  Fort Augustus is very small and if you have not booked places to eat for your evening meal you may not be able to eat at the ones you want.  Sophia and Ian recommended The Lock Inn (right next to the locks), The Boathouse, and The Lovat. We tried the Lock Inn and that was fully booked along with The Lovat. We managed to get into the Boathouse by ringing and snapping up one of the last bookings for the night (see separate review). So be warned.

Also, Ian advised us to use the old road (B862) to Inverness as it has better aerial views of Loch Ness and has less traffic than the A82 which is heavy with coaches naturally ferrying tourists back and forth.  He was right and the sun even got out for a few good photos. Foyer's waterfall is also accessible from this road (B852).

Sophia and Ian welcome anyone and I would particularly highlight they do welcome bikers too.  I can think of nothing better than collapsing into a good night's sleep here after a hard 5-hour road trip on a bike and then waking up refreshed, ready to embrace these wonderful Scottish roads on two wheels.

To B&B or not to B&B, that is the question...

We stopped here for 4 nights to explore the Scottish Highlands, excellently located to be able to do so. Sophia and Ian were absolutely wonderful and could not do enough for us. Our room was incredibly spacious, had a lovely view and very generous bathroom. Breakfast every morning was incredibly plentiful with pretty much everything you could want. We’d definitely give you 6 stars if we could!

Amazing B&B

We had to find somewhere to stay at 8.30 pm as the accomodation we had booked had let us down. We were welcomed by the owners despite the short notice and late hour. Our room was very comfortable, clean and pleasant and the bathroom fantasticc. After a great nights sleep we came down to one of the best breakfasts we have ever experenced in any guest house, or hotel, not the usual cooked breakfast but a feast for both the eyes and the palet and friendly service.
We will definitely stay here again and recommend to others

Lovely guesthouse

A little way out of Fort Augustus, but could be walked in good weather.  A large car park near the canal in the town with parking fees of 60p for up to 4 hrs!  The house itself is a beautiful architect designed home, but the rooms are spacious and very clean, and guests have use of a sitting room.  Breakfast is excellent and a welcome change to the "fry up" at most other places.  Sophia is very friendly and welcoming and made us wish we were staying more than 2 nights.
