Just stayed a couple of night at Beechwood B&B, with hosts Gunta and Alec who warmly welcomed us. The detached house is situated down a quiet lane with plenty of... read more parking, there is a communal lounge with tv, video and films, this is where breakfast is served. We stayed in room 2, which overlooks the back garden and farming fields, very pleasant. The room is well equipped with a king size bed, there is a tv and video along with tea making facilities, bathroom with shower etc, all tastefully furnished. There is a large breakfast selection. Alec is very knowledgable about what to see and do and can't help you out enough, taking the time to print out maps, directions etc of places to visit, we can't thank him enough as he told us if we had time to visit Fort George and the Culloden battlefield, both of which were excellent places to visit, we even got to see dolphins swimming in the sea near to Fort George. My wife and l would certainly recommend this establishment and would have no reservations in returning in the future. More

  Wonderful welcome, lovely BB with so nice owners, very professional absolutely given to their job; they gave us maps and directions for our trip.
Very warm house, absolutely CLEAN Comfortable... read more and new beds, fantastic duvet, sheets, towels...big variety of shampoos and gels.

  We booked in for one night at the last minute and wished we could have stayed longer. From the first contact Gunta was warm and helpful (and highly amusing) ,... read more and once we arrived both hosts (and the four legged helpers) were wonderfully friendly and kind. The large room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and super comfortable. Alec's DVD collection is super impressive and the relaxing guest lounge is a great idea. You can also take the DVD to your room to watch in bed.
The next day's breakfast was absolutely delicious, and Alec's knowledge of Scotland's attractions and trip planning skills were fantastic.
Next time we'd love to be more organised and base at Beechwood with our Scotland travel planned out by Alec, he takes great care to check out your individual interests and recommends appropriate sites, not just the standard tourist attractions.
Thank you guys so much for a wonderful stay! More

  Gunta and Alec run a beautiful B&B in the highland countryside just a stones throw away from Alness. The couple are welcoming and chatty throughout the stay and are the... read more loveliest of hosts.
The rooms at Beechwood Lodge are large and extremely comfortable. The location means a calm and quiet nights sleep and excellent opportunities for stargazing.
The B&B is located not far from Inverness and Loch Ness. Also nearby are The Falls Of Shin where you can see salmon jumping up the falls. Should you need any advice, Alec knows the area well and seemed more than happy to offer suggestions and directions.
Gunta and Alec serve the most lovely breakfasts every morning with a big choice of foods (including haggis!)
Notable also is the couple's large DVD collection that you can either watch in the large and comfortable lounge or in the comfort of your own bed. An excellent way to relax after a long day of exploring the Scottish countryside.
I look forward to returning to Beechwood Lodge in the near future. A big thank you to Gunta and Alec for their fantastic hospitality.

  Quiet location in Alness, this is a good value b&b with comfortable accommodation and a decent breakfast. There are pets at the property which had an effect on allergies, though... read more obviously not a deal breaker for most. Staff are friendly enough and happy to help plan trips if needed..

  I spent one night at the Beechwood Lodge with four 'biker' friends as we toured Scotland recently.

The welcome was warm and friendly from Gunta and Alec. Our rooms... read more were immaculate, very nicely prepared and well appointed. I shared one of the twin rooms with a friend. Shower was great and a good selection of complimentary toiletries.

The beds were very comfy and I had a really good nights sleep. The area is so quiet and peaceful yet a quick car/bike ride into the village.

Alec recommended some additional routes to explore on our motorbikes, and he shared a dram with us whilst we chatted.

We were encouraged to order food from one of the local takeaways to be delivered to the house which we did and that also was very good.

We spent our evening chilling out. We had brought a couple of bottles of single malt to share and we were told it was no problem to drink our own whisky in the guests living room whilst playing cards and reviewing our day on the bikes.

Breakfast was very good with plenty of tea and toast for us to stock up on for our day ahead in the saddle.

I have visited many bed and breakfasts around the country over the years. Beechwood Lodge is one of the very best and is highly recommended.

I intend to make a revisit with my wife.

  Stayed for one night, and the beds were just the best. Rooms and surrounds were extremely clean and Alex gave us a lot of info about my heritage into Scotland.... read more I took his advice and saw lots of places that I would not have found otherwise. Brekky was outstanding. Good job guys.

  We are just back from a trip to Alness where we stayed in beech wood lodge for two nights. It was honestly one of the best experiences we have had.... read more Gunta goes over and above for all of the people who stay at her beautiful lodge. She always wanted to make sure we were good and wanted to give us a lovely experience. Nothing is too big of an ask and she made us feel so welcomed and at home.

The house is beautiful and Gunta would light candles while we were having dinner and put n lovely music for my partner and I. Her house is also spotless with beautiful views!

When we have stayed in other places, we have chatted to the owners but I think this is the first time someone was genuinely interested in who we are and where we come from, which was lovely as it made the experience feel even more personal.

Gunta even printed out a map of places to visit nearby and printed out the directions for us which was just so lovely.

I wouldn't think twice about going again and I really hope lots of people book beech wood lodge as it is definitely our favourite! More

  This B&B is ideal. Beautifully designed interior which is extremely clean and comfortable. Gunta and Alec were perfect hosts - genuinely friendly, professional, and so helpful - they... read more were brilliant. They have paid attention to every small detail. The room & bathroom were a really good size, the decor was fresh and beautifully done, everything was to a very high standard, and the bed was so comfortable we didn't want to get up.

The poached eggs in particular were perfect. The dogs are sweethearts too. We can't wait to have an excuse to return. More
