I stayed twice in a week, firstly on my way to drive the North Coast 500 and secondly on my return. My logic was that I wanted somewhere nice to stay before 4 days camping in the rain, and somewhere nice to stay on the way back to hep me recover from my ordeal. I also needed somewhere secluded because my 38 year old Land Rover with all my camping gear has a canvas roof and no door locks. I certainly fell on my feet. A warm welcome; large warm room; lovely bathroom and large pot of tea was followed by a pint of cold Scottish Stout; delicious, home cocked, locally sourced 3 course dinner; very well priced and excellent wine; all delivered by the charming and friendly owner. I slept like a log on the most comfortable of beds and then devoured a huge breakfast, cooked to order - no dried up hot plate rubbish here! I left almost wishing away the next 4 days because I was so much looking forward to my second stay. I was not disappointed. The welcome; dinner; wine; room; conversation; shower; sleep and breakfast were just as good as before. I have travelled with work for 18 years, staying in hotels for 50 to 70 nights a year so I have had plenty of experience as a closet hotel inspector. I rate Cormiston Farm as the best B&B I have ever stayed in and probably in the top 3 of places I have ever stayed at. It is also extremely good value. It is full of charm and quirkiness, and a wonderful counterpoint to the bland corporate chain hotels. I will definitely be back and cannot recommend it more highly.
