Visit Scotland
Ridgeway Bed and Breakfast was a member of Visit Scotland for 15 years (1996 to 2011) and was graded at 3 stars during all of that time. We are no longer a member of Visit Scotland as we are of the opinion that it offers very poor value for money. However, this does not mean our standards have dropped - the quality of our accommodation and the service and consideration we offer our guests has in no way diminished (see the "guests' comments" page and also comments on www.tripadvisor.co.uk ).
No Smoking
Please Note. UK regulations do not allow smoking inside the bungalow. Guests who smoke are welcome to do so outside in the beautiful garden.
