We did not stay in the hotel but went for dinner. My girlfriend and I were visiting the Highlands during the off season, and Covid, and we did not anticipate that finding food would be such a challenge. Our B&B sent us to Ben View in case they would be open. They weren't, however Graham was still there, and was one of the kindest person I met in my entire life. We chatted for quite some time and he's offered to make us food anyway with what he still had, and it was amazing. Saying that he went the extra mile is an understatement, he literally stopped everything he was doing and cooked us dinner, with his own words - "I will not let you starve Mike, that is not an option". Graham, thanks again, I hope our paths will cross again!

Superb place! Spent there one night with my wife and my 2 years old child, in a cottage fully furnished, host Graham was super-friendly and heplful. Cottage was spacious, warm and cozy. And it was a fantastic value for the cheap price it costed! I strongly suggest this as a holiday accommodation, or for those which need to spend longer time in Strontian.

We had a lovely stay, and a very warm welcome. Rooms were cleaned up to standard too. Graeme most certainly is a great host! Definitely worth a visit!
