We stayed as one night as a stopover while traveling and had not problems. The room was a little small and no breakfast but it was fine for what we needed as a quick stopover,

Great overnight stay
Great place for overnight stay. Very welcoming host. Just know there is construction on the street and the road closes at certain times at night until October I believe. No breakfast being served but they do have microwave porridge cups.

2 day base camp.
Great value for money & amazing views from the front of the property. Room was spotless & functional, perfect as a base to go exploring! Liz was very approachable & welcoming throughout our stay. Plenty of options for food locally within either a short walk or drive depending on your requirements.

Elizabeth, I thank you for your positive comments, please be aware we are not offering breakfast at this time for personal reasons therefore the porridge pots are purely complimentary and in no way meant to be viewed as a breakfast. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Scottish highlands. Kind regards, Liz Allton

The owner, Liz, greeted us warmly and showed us to a lovely room with ensuite. The facilities included everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. We slept very well. Liz also recommended eating places in walking distance and it was lovely walking along the shores of the Loch to dinner and back.

Hidden Gem!
Alton side guest house was everything we could have asked for. It was clean, tidy and functional and well worth the money. The views were spectacular and the guest house was a short walk away from local amenities. Would definitely recommend!

Small room but clean, we were unhappy with no public space to sit and breakfast was instant coffee and instant oatmeal left in our room, period. We know it’s covid but this was pretty unacceptable, we should have gotten a discount because of it

I am sorry you did not understand the situation that you would have been aware of when you booked your accommodation. The offer was for room only, no breakfast. The porridge pots are complimentary and not considered a full breakfast. Also the unlimited tea and coffee is complimentary which you do not receive in many places. I hope you understand and please be aware you were charged room rate and not for breakfast. Kind regards, Liz

Pleasant surroundings, very clean and well organised. Only issue was porridge pots for breakfast and cold shower. Sadly soured a nice visit.

Sir, the accommodation offered is room only this year, the porridge pots are complimentary. I did apologise to you personally about the lack of hot water and explained it was my oversight, because the weather was so hot I had turned off the heating temporarily and forgot to put on the water heater. Again my apologies. Kind regards, Liz Allton

'Fableech' stay
The host was very caring, love the whiskey shots to get warm prior to your day out. Bes was uncomfortable, super soft and I guess, due to the pandemic they are taking extra care for the cleanliness. Might be the reason for the 'bleech odour" all around the room. A bit less might be better. View is amazing, well the one from the parking.

Nice location overlooking the lake. The manager left a card for our arrival with all the explanation and telephone number for any help. Because of Covid19, the breakfast was left outside our door in a box, but she was available to prepare a hot latte or cappuccino on request. Everything was clean and I would go there again.
