Fiona at Factor’s House could run a Master’s class on how to set up and run a B&B! Of all our stops on the NC500 tour, this was by far the best. The location is beautiful, set down a wooded lane and a short walk from the lovely village of Cromarty. The house is a quaint older home that has been beautifully and impeccablely restored! You are staying in a charming traditional B&B but one which is tasteful and and extremely comfortable as well.Fiona has thought of everything that you as a guest might want and need… and offers all in the highest quality. The common areas are beautiful as well and although there is no bar, Fiona offers an array of fine spirits ( at least 20 gins!) for her guests to make their own drinks at an incredibly reasonable price and based on the honor system. Unfortunately we came in a Sunday night and did not have an opportunity to enjoy her legendary 3 course dinner but we did enjoy the best breakfast of our trip in the beautiful wood paneled dining room. The scrambled eggs and cold and warm smoked salmon were outstanding…at the gourmet level as was the bowl of fresh fruit, coffee, croissants, etc that we were offered. This place was outstanding and must be the best value for money of any place in Scotland! We dream of one day returning but will definitely recommend to our friends and anyone else who may be traveling Scotland!
