Aurora is a welcoming, modern Highland B&B. Ann provides kind, thoughtful hospitality with a green ethos. At the top of a 4 star Visit Scotland award, the emphasis here is on providing you with comfort, quality, cleanliness and attention to detail.Here's what a recent guest had to say about Aurora:
My husband and I stayed here for four nights in 2012. We both found Ann to be very welcoming and her home is beautiful. The room was spotless as was the bathroom. The rooms are very modern and tastefully decorated. Breakfast in the dining room was a delight and we always looked forward to going down for same. The lounge, which has a TV, is extremely comfortable, although we did not use the room to watch TV but instead looked out the windows at the wonderful view. We were in the Skye room and I can tell you we have never slept better - not even in our own bed at home! There was a constant supply of flapjacks made by Ann which were delicious. Needless to say Ann does a wonderful job of running this B&B. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this B&B and I know for sure we will definitely be back. M & B - Scotland.
