This is our fourth stay at Grinills and we could not recommend it more highly. If you like cosy comfort, exceptional views, access to mountains and the world's best pub just down the road (The Badachro Inn) then this is the place for you! We will be back next year!

We stayed here at the end of January 2026 to visit with family in a nearby area. Everything you could want is already there, including eggs, milk and butter. My only advice would be , make sure you get there in daylight. The house sign is small and very easy to miss . But I can't recommend this place enough. It's ideal for relaxing and re-energising. We will definitely be returning. Thank you especially to the house keeper, it was spotlessly clean
