Sheildaig Farm Bed & Breakfast

My husband and I spent one evening at Sheildaig Farm B&B during our 3300 mile UK road trip. We arrived late in the afternoon on a very rainy day. We were in communication with Lesley and although she was out running errands when we arrived, she left the keys and instructions, so we had no problems getting into our accommodations, The Cameron Cottage.
The drive up is a little narrow and scary. Once we drove it the first time, it wasn’t a big deal later in the day. Definitely arrive during the daylight, so that you can see where you’re driving and keep an eye out for signage, as it is a bit hard to see. I never felt like our car was going to get damaged, just that it was bumpy and narrow.
The rooms are very cute and filled with basically ever amenity to make our stay comfortable– kettle, microwave, toaster, nice linens, great smelling soap and shampoo… there was even a stack of entertainment gossip magazines, which is a guilty pleasure of mine and I really enjoyed!
We didn’t meet Lesley until the morning. She had stopped by in the evening to say «Hi» but we mistook her knocking for a noise outside and didn’t open the door until she had already left. I wish that we had met her the evening before, as she was super friendly and welcoming. The place has an overall nice vibe!
Breakfast was wonderful. The Breakfast area feels more like a restaurant than a B&B. The tables were set up in a room with floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking their back garden. Very pretty! The food was delicious too. There was a cold bar with cereals, juice and yogurt. Lesley also did made-​to-​order breakfasts.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sheildaig Farm and recommend it to those visiting the area.

My mom & I ended up here by chance — and I was happy to see Leslie when she came to the door, offered to show me the breakfast room and the room that was recently freed by a late cancellation. Though a bit more than my budget — we accepted — Sheildaig Farm B&B is absolutely adorable — a lovely stone building with 3 rooms sits across from the main building (with more rooms inside) and a gorgeous little breakfast area.
Our room was a small double — but it had all the comforts we have come to expect with a typical en suite room in England & Scotland: extra blankets, electric kettle and assorted teas/​instant coffee, large clean towels, tv, alarm clock and even an electric blow dryer!
This little room was very tastefully decorated with an iron bedframe, black-​on-​white paisley decorator wallpaper, a pair of armchairs. There was even a small fridge, toaster and microwave in the little dry-​bar area. There were fantastic skylights in the room — and Lesley showed me how to use a long pole to close the built in retracting shades to keep from frying like a vampire at dawn .
Lesley asked me what we pair of vegans would like for breakfast — I provided a carton of tofu and in the morning — she personally made us the best tofu scramble my mom and I have ever had! Butternut squash, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions — perfectly seasoned. She also serves darned good OJ there and we had a really fantastic breakfast.
Lesley also directed me to a nearby trail for my run in the morning and it was really lovely to run on dirt tracks and away from any traffic at all. I had the hills above Loch Lomond all to myself — that was really a treat.
Great B&B, warm and excellent service — I highly recommend Sheildaig Farm B&B and would happily return.
