Our Recommendations - Places To Stay
PDF | Print | E-mail
As you'd expect, in the course of our travels, we have stayed in a fair number of different establishments. Large or small, ancient or modern, city or country, they've all had something to commend them, though, in a few notable instances, we find it impossible to remember quite what!!
That said, there are a number of places which stand out in our memories as being well worth us recommending them to you.
If you do decide to give them a try, was we hope you will, we know that you'll not be disappointed.

Tongue. – Tigh nan Ubhal.
Angela & Jimmy's super Guest House, right in the middle of Tongue, is that ideal combination of two lovely people, really comfortable rooms, scrumptious breakfast, a warm welcome and very friendly service. What more could you want. Tarry for more than a night, it'll be worth it. tighnanubhal.com

Scourie. – Greenhill.
Evelyn's lovely B&B in Scourie is a treasure, with simple but well equipped, comfortably furnished rooms and with a well-cooked, simple breakfast, which you order the night before.
Amusingly, the first time we stayed with her, she convinced herself that we were the VisitScotland Inspectors!! She was very nervous when we arrived needlessly because Evelyn maintains very high standards through the house and is very, very welcoming. greenhillscourie.co.uk

Lochinver. – Tigh na Sith.
We ought not forget our friends' lovely Guest House in Lochinver about which you can read more on their own page on our site or on their own website. Go on, spoil yourselves with a 2 or 3 night stay, you know you deserve it. tighnasith.com

Brampton, Carlisle. – Farlam Hall Hotel.
Quintessentially British, this superbly run, small Country House Hotel is amongst the best, of that there is no doubt. Quite formal (they ask that gentlemen wear jackets for dinner) yet cosy & very friendly, we learnt a great deal from the way that Mr & Mrs Quinion, Helen & Barry run things. Indeed, they were the inspiration for much of what we do and the standards we aspire to here at Crubenbeg House. farlamhall.co.uk

Spain

|
Calonge. – Casa Nickel.
Trevor & Joan run a super wee B&B, set high on a hill overlooking Palamos Bay north of Barcelona in northern Spain. It is a great location, just 35 minutes from Girona Airport and perfect for exploring all the attractions in this lovely part of Spain. It is bliss sitting out on their patio enjoying your breakfast or, later in the day, a glass of wine or beer. A dip in their Jacuzzi or pool is a wonderful way to relax too. casanickel.co.uk

Canillas de Albaida. – Posada la Plaza.
Just 50 minutes from Malaga Airport yet a world away from the Costa, Canillas is one of the classic white villages, perched high in the Andalucian foothills. There are walks aplenty nearby, in stunning scenery and it is a good base for touring too.
Posada la Plaza. As the hotel's name suggests it is set on the square in the middle of the village. Owned & run by Gustavo, it is a simple, delightfully relaxing place to settle in for a few days. His reataurant, just across the Plaza is good to, as is Restaurante Almijara owned by his brother, Gabriel and his wife Loly, just a 2 minute walk away. posada-laplaza.eu and restaurantealmijara.es (Spanish only)
