Clachan Garden B&B - 3-Star Hotel in Garve, England

Each room is named after a character from the Cluedo board game, such as Professor Plum or Miss Rose. Beds are topped with handmade mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets, while en-suite bathrooms feature handcrafted luxury fittings from the Highland Soap Company. The Miss Rose room includes a four-poster bed and a freestanding copper bathtub with loch views.

Breakfast is served à la carte in a sunlit conservatory, offering Full English/Irish options, porridge cooked in an Aga, and homemade bread with jams that use garden fruit. Stephen, a qualified barista, operates a professional espresso machine to prepare specialty coffees and teas. Dinner, available by prior request, includes dishes such as Indian-style chicken and dal, with vegetables from the walled garden and homemade gelato in four flavours.

The one-acre walled garden supplies vegetables and fruit for meals and provides a scenic backdrop with views of Loch Broom and the Beinn Dearg range. An outdoor fireplace and picnic area allow guests to sit outdoors after walking the grounds. Bird feeders along the terrace attract goldfinches and siskins, visible from the conservatory.

Guests have access to an on-site library holding an estimated 8,000 books, as well as a music studio that can be used during the stay. A shared lounge with a large TV and reclining seats offers a space to relax in the evenings. The property has a secure outdoor area for drying wet gear, and hosts provide detailed hiking tips for the area.

Clachan Garden B&B sits at the head of Loch Broom, a 10-minute drive from Ullapool and its ferry terminal. The B&B is close to the Beinn Dearg range of Munros, An Teallach, and The Fannichs, providing direct access to hillwalking and mountain biking. Kayaking on Loch Broom and hiking along the NC500 route start from the doorstep.
