Good - Charming, friendly hosts. Clean, well equipped bedrooms. Great breakfast in garden conservatory. Good value for money.
Bad - Rooms at the front of house, very close to main road and therefore rather noisy.
Rating 8 out of 10
We stayed at the Glenvar Bed and Breakfast in Perthshire for one night in October 2007. It cost £50 for a double ensuite room. We received a very warm welcome from the couple who run the B&B and were given a pot of tea with scones and jam. Our room had a really comfortable bed and was spotlessly clean. There were additions such as bathrobes and slippers that you wouldn’t expect in a B&B. The only bad thing about the room was that it faced the main road through the town. Every time a car drove past you could hear the loud whoosh. This also meant that your only view from the window was the road and houses on the other side. However the road noise didn’t disturb our sleep.
Breakfast is served in the conservatory which faces the lovely garden. We started traditional porridge, made from oatmeal, served with cream. My husband had smoked haddock and I had the vegetarian cooked breakfast. The food was of excellent quality with generous portions.
If it hadn’t been for the bedroom location at the front of the house and the subsequent road noise and lack of view, I’d have scored the Glenvar at 10 out of 10.
