We had a fabulous 2 night stay at Cairndoon Byre. The B&B was beautiful - from the feather pillows and lovely decor to the most scrumptious breakfast and warmest welcome - Dot and Adrian go above and beyond for their guests. We were in the area doing family history research and very quickly Dot was able to organise for us to have an informal and super informative chat with the family who owned the very farm my ancestors were connected with! Dot and Adrian could not have been more kind or helpful - we arrived at Cairndoon Byre as strangers and left as friends. We cannot recommend this wonderful B&B enough.

Absolutely nothing!

This is a return visit for us, it has everything we could hope for the place is amazing the hosts Dot and Adrian are the greatest, helpful going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, I lost my phone credit cards and all my cash not only did they help me contact the police and the bank spending hours on their phones they loaned me a substantial amount of money so we could enjoy the rest of our holiday. Anyone who visits this amazing place will come away with lasting memories of views, great breakfasts, duck down bedding, peace and quiet. Will be back very soon

Liked everything about it our room just of the lovely lounge all on the flat for hubby .Dot and Adrian could not do enough for us bringing fresh milk to our room every day for our tea .had a good chat with Dot in the mornings ....a woman of many talents and Adrian is a big gentle giant a smashing couple the house was immaculate beds were lovely and comfy and spotlessly clean .this will be our stop over everytime we go down home now . Oh and glad hubby asked for a "small" cooked breakfast !! And when you look at the photo album when they bought Cairndoon to what it is now is unbelievable and Dot and Adrian did the majority of the work themselves and the view from the lounge is breathtaking

There was nothing to not like about it apart from time went past way to quickly .

A beautiful property in a quiet location, with plenty parking space. Room was spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and easy ground floor access. However it was the breakfast which really made this a standout stay - with its combination of fresh exotic fruit and choice of quality fry up ingredients (english and scottish versions) . For us on this occasion, this was just passing through for a night, heading for a ferry to Northern Ireland the next morning, but will definitely look to book again if in the area in the future.

With a late arrival and early start, we got no chance to explore a bit more widely. But no problems at all with the stay.

When booking the B and B I took into account the great reviews and boy we were not disappointed. A beautifully presented property in a wonderful location. Our Hosts Dot and Adrian were so friendly and accomodating. Our room was large and the bathroom huge. Our beds were very comfy. The whole property was so clean and tidy and the views were certainly a bonus. Breakfast was delicious and plenty full and loved the fresh fruit salad. Can’t recommend highly enough.

The standard of the accommodation was exceptional and Dot and Adrian were very friendly and helpful in finding a good restaurant a few miles away. The views from the house were wonderful. Breakfast was just what we wanted and good locally sourced food beautifully cooked and served in a friendly informal way. Although we didn't take advantage of it, we appreciated being offered the use of a comfortable lounge.

We had a little difficulty finding the property and for us the location was very remote with regard to dinner options and short evening walks. But Dot was easily able to recommend a good restaurant in the next town.

Cairndoon is a beautiful, peaceful and magical find. The owners, Dot & Adrian, are amazing. We have never stayed anywhere before with this level of kindness, professionalism and pride. We had booked the Accessible room and it was perfect. So clean, spacious and high quality fixtures and fittings. The breakfast choice was very wide and suited both meat eater and veggie. Locally sourced produce and super scrumptious.

I honestly cannot think how anything could be better. We are both looking forward to returning soon.

Both Dot and Adrian were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us during our stay. They were very friendly and showed us around their beautiful property as well as giving recommendations for the local area. The breakfast they provided was tasty and filling. (Lots of cerial, fruit, toast and full cooked breakfast). The rooms were clean and spacious. Thank you for a wonderful stay we hope to stay again soon!

This place is why they invented the word superlative. Well designed, thoughtful and attentive to detail with your comfort in mind. Incredible location to explore Scotland's forgotten corner. Dot gives excellent advice on some of the hidden treasures around that you shouldn't miss. And the view is quietly uplifting, a balm for the weary of soul.
