In ‘a splendid location’, Fiona and Richard Trevor’s 18th-century church manse looks out at fishing boats bobbing on the water of a tranquil inlet. Visitors arriving at teatime are welcomed with a hot drink and home-baked cake. The modest bedrooms (most with spectacular sea views) have every amenity: crisp bedlinens, excellent toiletries, a good tea selection. Ian Godfrey’s menus feature locally landed shellfish and game, as well as vegetable and meat raised on local crofts. Before the full Scottish breakfast, porridge served with a small jug of cream and a tot of Drambuie was ‘particularly enjoyed’. The owners are gradually restoring ornamental and semi-formal gardens within the extensive grounds, which lead directly to the seashore of Badcall Bay.
