Accommodation
We welcome you to Driftwood as a guest in our home and we will do our best to ensure your stay is comfortable and memorable for all the right reasons. We do all the work in the B&B ourselves and also need "off-duty" time to manage our everyday lives and attend to personal business therefore our service times are not as flexible as in a hotel. Your understanding is very much appreciated.

You may choose a time to have breakfast between 07:30 and 09:00
We offer guests a buffet style breakfast as detailed below.
Hopefully there is something for everyone, whether you prefer a healthy breakfast or something with a few more calories....
Special Dietary Requirements
If you have any food allergies or intolerances, please let us know at the time of booking. We try our best to provide alternatives, but it is not feasible for us to keep stock to meet every eventuality and living in the Highlands, it is not always possible to get hold of specialist food items. The more notice you give us, the more likely we are to be able to meet any specific requirements you may have and therefore help you enjoy your holiday more.
