A great find. Very quiet area, but well placed. Ample parking on street, not much more than 10 minutes walk to station. Friendly and welcoming host. Good breakfast.

Good value for money
Spotlessly clean! Host welcoming knowledgeable and helpful about surrounding area and points of interest. No issue for us as was clear on description room we booked was shared toilet/shower facility not en suite. It is a 'traditional ' b&b-youre staying in a room in hosts home which again suited us as we wanted to be out and about during the day but guests should note theres no lounge for guest use

Thank you so much for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're so glad you enjoyed your visit and that we were able to help you with local information which helped with your travel plans. Hope everything worked out for you regarding the ferries and that your son managed to find somewhere suitable for his swim in either the sea or one of the sea lochs.

Very friendly and cosy. Very well located. Lots of thought had gone into providing everything guests might need. It is a shared bathroom which could put some people off. Room was a little cramped but comfortable. Good breakfast. Good value overall.

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your visit. The Shower Room facilities are shared between the occupants of the two bedrooms let for B&B, but this is identified to potential guests before they book, so shouldn't really be a problem. We hope you continue to enjoy your holiday in the U.K.

Very Poor - stay away
VERY POOR. Its not a hotel, basically someones house. The rules are ridiculous. I arrived at 16:00 and despite being told that the room was ready I was told that I had to wait until 5pm to go in because the owners "needed to go to the shops" they then came back later than 5pm and I had to sleep in my car. I was then told that I was not allowed in the hotel (which I paid for) form the hours of 9:30 AM to 5PM on any day which is ridiculous as most people come here to hike and will be exhausted the next day. As people come to hike they need to leave early so dont expect breakfast as it only runs from 7:30 to 9 - a very poor business tactic for skimping on serving food. The toilet was clean, the room was okay, with a used teabag in my mug, and a couple of dead insects about. The staff were abrupt, and with no knowledge of the local area (they didnt know anywhere to have dinner). Parking is on the street. Overall very poor experience and not worth the price.

I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your recent stay with us. You are right, ‘Nevis View’ is not a hotel, it is our home & we have never promoted it as anything but a B&B. Might I suggest that you look up the definition of a B&B on Wikipedia, as you do not seem to understand the concept? After you booked to stay at ' Nevis View' on Sept. 18th, you were sent an email on Sept. 9th to thank you for your booking and to let you know that Check-in is offered between 17.00 and 19.00, together with the Check-out timing of 10.00 (not 09.30) the following morning. Unfortunately, you appear not to have read the email, as you arrived at 15.00, some two hours earlier than you were expected. This is why we couldn’t Check you in there and then, even though you had booked accommodation, as we had to go out to do some essential shopping. We did not know you or anything about you & we are not in the habit of inviting total strangers into our home & then leaving them to their own devices without us being here, just two minutes later. Would you do this in your own home? I very much doubt it. We were home a little after 17.00, delayed by very heavy traffic which you later commented on, for which I should like to apologise. However, when I knocked on the window of your car, you were not asleep, you were wide awake & looking at your phone. Because you subsequently booked a second night (Sept. 17th) some days after the first, you were not informed that we ask our guests to go out by 10.00 each morning & to not return before 17.00, which we always do when more than one night is booked at the same time. This was an oversight, & I should like to apologise once more, that you were not aware of this before you arrived. We serve Breakfast from 07.30 to 09.00 every morning, which is a considerably longer period than other B&Bs offer – an hour and a half timescale is not “a business tactic to skimp on serving food” & I’m amazed that you should even think this! You had plenty of time after booking your accommodation in which to get in touch & let us know you were climbing the Ben & to ask for an early Breakfast, which with advance notice, could have been possible & something that has been offered to other walkers/climbers in the past. I am not to know what each guest intends doing once they arrive, so communication is vital! You decided not to have Breakfast that first morning although I offered to have it ready for you on the dot of 07.30 as you'd arranged to meet a friend at that time. When you returned late on Saturday afternoon, you were so exhausted by your trek that you opted for Breakfast at the latest timing the following morning. Everything was prepared & ready for you at 09.00, but you didn't appear until 09.20, told me you weren't going to have Breakfast & left shortly afterwards. To say we are abrupt is not true, & you are not correct either in saying we don't have an extensive knowledge of the area, as we have lived here for well over 40 years. We cannot
