We had a fantastic couple of nights stay here in what we definitely would say is a five star accommodation. We stayed in the chalet, which is tastefully decorated, spacious, comfortable and very clean. It has everything you need, just like home from home. The hosts, Paul and Lisa go out of their way to make you feel welcome and ensure you won’t be disappointed with your stay here. The area is amazing, stunning beaches and scenery. We also loved seeing the sheep just roaming the countryside and all the cows in their fields. This is a beautiful island to visit, and if you do be sure to book a stay here at this lovely accommodation.

Farm house style B&B for 2 nights, with Paul as the host offering a great cooked breakfast (to order, English style!!) Great big TV on an extendable arm for comfortable viewing while sitting on the bad & speedy wi-fi access. Hens, ducks & cat outside welcome you in and huddle around you are entertaining themselves. Saw a golden eagle over the close by water.
Be aware the car satnav will take you to a parallel road, so closely follow Pauls' instructions on how to arrive and look out for his local signs along the correct route, Our bedroom and bathroom doors were a little sticky so needed to provide a little gentle pressure to close (no biggie, but maybe a little noisy for others).

From your chalet, you can walk multiple loops through serene white sand beaches on foot. We didn’t come across a single other person in 3 hour hikes. Just oyster catchers, short-eared owls, and even dolphins. In this peaceful landscape, you’ll find a luxurious chalet. With a hot tub we’re 100% saving to buy the exact model for at home now, fluffy dressing gowns and slippers, and a ridiculously warm and fluffy bed that just invites naps. Very dog friendly, even with an enclosed lawn area where your dog can run around. Free-roaming chickens, ducks and a friendly cat called Tigerlily who loves cuddles more than any cat we’ve ever met. So make sure your dog plays nice! You’ll be rewarded with the most delicious and fresh eggs in the morning, which you can buy from an egg box at the front of the farm. You’ll never get more free-roaming eggs in your life. As Paul explained to us, there’s no natural predators on the island so they have such a lovely life and were as happy as us! Paul and Lisa gave unlimited tips and advice. We felt so special and had a wonderful honeymoon. Thanks very much for making it happen!
FYI, everything on the island is closed on Sunday. So stock up on groceries!

The lodge was exactly what we required on this lovely island. It is situated on a Loch and a short drive or a modest walk to the beach. Not far from the RSPB Balrinald so plenty of wildlife right on the doorstep. The owners Paul and Lisa were so welcoming and hospitable. The chickens and ducks were hilarious and incredibly friendly. They even have 4 beautiful labradors if you want to say hi but they aren't roaming around so if you have a fear of dogs that's also fine. Greta advice given about where to go and what to see and even provided pain relief when I got sick.

A semi rural property with chooks and ducks to greet you, the accommodation consists of a spacious bedroom with well appointed bathroom upstairs and access to the lounge/breakfast room downstairs. A beautiful view from the upstairs bedroom window (the titular "Benview" ) complimented the lovely details added to our stay including fluffy dressing gowns and slippers. Paul and Lisa were perfect hosts, nothing too much trouble with good local advice to offer. We had an early departure so didn't get a chance to sample the cooked breakfast but they made sure there was plenty of cereals, yoghurts and juices for us to help ourselves to.
We only had one night there!

The location is exceptional, with lots of bird life. The facilities are high-quality, and the rooms are clean and very comfortable. Paul, the host, is passionate about his business and very welcoming. We had a very relaxing stay and slept well in a comfortable bed. The breakfast was superb. There are lots of homely touches in the rooms—very thoughtful.

Paul, Lisa, and their home are all so lovely. I have been travelling for work and staying in lots of places over the last week, but the night I spent at Ben View felt like being home for a bit. It was so nice to be looked after, relax in the guest lounge for the evening, then enjoy a cooked breakfast before heading on my way. Comfy bed, great shower, and a robe was provided. Would come back, and entirely recommend.
Nothing at all.

An unexpectedly luxurious short stay. Our host was super and every detail had been considered to make this a great place to stay. The bedrooms and living room were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The beds were great and the shower excellent. The breakfast was unbeatable. Overall an extremely enjoyable short stay, very good value.
Everything about this B & B was excellent, only the weather could have been better!

Paul and Lisa were so friendly and welcoming. I usually only stay in hotels when on business . This was my use of B & B. The facilities were excellent, I had my own lounge with big screen TV and the bedroom had its own private shower room. The bed was so comfortable and the decor was fresh and homely. The views are simply amazing. 1st class hosts, breakfast and nothing was to much to ask for. Highly recommended.
There was nothing negative to say.

The Benview B & B was a superb place to stay. The room was very well appointed and clean. The bathroom was nice, the bed was comfortable and it had a luxurious feel about it. The English breakfast was great. Paul, the host, was very friendly and made us feel most welcome. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
