Review 1：Non en suite bathroom for single stay, but I knew ahead, it is acceptable, but would be more comfortable if the room had it's own bathroom.

Review 2：Very friendly and kind hosts, feeling like I was the only guest there (I knew I wasn't), individual approach.

Review 3：No complaints. Without personal transport the location is slightly inconvenient but still manageable if you don't mind a moderate walk in/out of the village

Review 10：John and Elaine went above and beyond in all areas. On top of the lovelylocation, the offered to pick us up and drop us off at the bus station.This is a surprising and much appreciated offer. In the morning, Elainereturned us to the bus station. After she left, I realized I had left mycamera on the dining room table. While I was searching for their numberto call, John showed up with my camera in hand.

Review 32：Extremely clean and very comfortable in a fairly remote, but lovely location. Really lovely, welcoming and helpful landlady.

Review 33：The setting was beautiful and Elain and John were fantastic. Elain helped me so much before we even arrived to make it special for my boyfriends birthday. I want to visit again i felt like I was at home and they think of everything finer details like cotton wool pads to take my make up off. My boyfriend also loved it we had both never stayed in a bb before. I want to book again and would reccomend it for anyone.

It was really nice at Mavisburn;)

Review 38：Elaine and John were great and made you feel right at home. It was quiet and a restful location with access to some enjoyable walking trails. Overall, the stay was quite enjoyable.

Review 39：Bit of a drive out of town but, only a few minutes and fine if one person is willing to drive?

Review 48：Loved the tranquil location and the lovely hosts Elaine and John who made our stay very enjoyable. They gave great advice as to the local area and what events are on. The B&B is spotlessly clean, the bed comfortable and a great shower. Everything was perfect! Lovely cooked breakfast and extra toast or tea if required. Tried the smoked salmon alternative breakfast for a change as we were there for 3 days and it was scrumptious.

Review 93：Everything was perfect ! Elaine and her husband are lovely and very helpful, they showed us the best things to see in Fort Augustus ! The B&B itself is quite perfect too ! Very clean, very comfortable, a large wonderful bedroom with private bath and shower, not a single spot of dust anywhere ! A delicious breakfast, scottish or with smoked salmon if you're a bit bored of beans every morning ;-) I highly recommend this B&B and didn't find any better during the whole trip !

Review 94：Nothing at all.

Review 95：Elaine and John are very, very friendly people; they are very willing to give you advice when asked, breakfast is fine, the room and the bathroom are very clean and pleasant to stay in and the place itself is heaven when you're looking for a nice and quiet place to stay. Very recommendable. Fort Augustus is not too big and not too small: it's got a shop for your groceries, enough places to eat, a shop for souvenirs and a petrolstation. That's all I need. A good base to explore the Highlands. Will come back.

Review 96：Not necessarily a drawback, the house is a little farther from the town. If you are the kind to want to stay in the middle of town, this is not the place.

Review 97：The hosts were considerate, and provided accurate directions and coordinates to use on a GPS unit in advance of our trip. The breakfast was sumptuous, tasty, and more importantly, took our special needs into consideration and prepared it accordingly. The house and rooms have been maintained wonderfully and provides an air of warmth. The hosts were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful about the area and must-see touristic spots.

Review 98：We found in great nature surrounding an excellent looked after BandB with so friendly and helpful proprietors and had a lot of fun every day with them. Therefore we are proud to recommend this place and we will certainly stay here again on our next Scotland trip!

Review 99：- bit far from the the centre, would recommend to people with cars, unless you like a bit of walk

Review 100：- very nice hosts, chatty but not intrusive, very helpful with good knowledge of Scotland, we were recommended going to eilean donan castle before heading to Glasgow and we are exeptionally greatful as it was a highlight of our trip - good size rooms and exceptionally clean with nice view, bathroom was spotless with everything you may need - delicious scottish breakfast, one of the best bacons I've ever eaten!

Review 101：All-in-all a perfect stay at Mavisburn B&B. The rooms are very clean and beautiful. On top the Owners are extreme helpful and their hospitality is one of the best! We enjoyed our stay very much, even it was only short.

Review 103：John and Elaine are wonderful host. John gave me a lot of valuable recommendation, and Elaine always has smell on her face. The room is very clean and neat. The facilities are also very good, especially the bath room. The breakfast is great.

Review 104：Elaine and John are the perfect hosts. Friendly and nothing is too much trouble. A lovely welcome cup of tea, cake and biscuits on arrival and even booked our evening meal for us at one of the local restaurants. Very knowledgable about places to visit in the area.
