As a result we are members of Scotland’s Best B & B’s, an organisation limited to 96 of the best properties offering bed and breakfast in Scotland.
We strive to provide a genuine and warm welcome, a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the opportunity to enjoy the delights of the wonderful countryside of the Scottish North West Highlands.
Julie is committed to serving delicious,
high quality breakfasts and, if required, evening meals, using local and regional produce wherever possible.
Each year, we have added to and improved the facilities offered. The guest house is now equiped with Wifi.
This area of Wester Ross abounds in spectacular scenery and a wide variety of wildlife, as well as being rich in history,
both ancient and modern. The pages headed ‘A Week in Laide’ give suggestions for exploring the area around the Old Smiddy.
Laide and Mellon Udrigle, Aultbea and Loch Ewe, Gairloch, Inverewe Gardens and Ullapool are all worthy of at least a days visit Further information can be found on the sites of the two local tourists associations, namely Celtic Fringe and
Gale and Loch Ewe Action Forum.
The Bungalow, now the self catering, at the Old Smiddy
was built about 1980 by a former owner of the Old Smiddy.
During the early part of 2009 it was completely renovated, modernised and redecorated.
This property now has a modern kitchen, a new family bathroom
and an ensuite shower room for the master bedroom.
Completely rewired, the Bungalow now enjoys central heating with the added bonus of solar tubes.
The renovations were completed by replacing all the
furniture and kitchen equipment with high quality, easy to use and comfortable products.
