This was our fourth stay with Caroline and George and it was as perfect as ever. We cannot recommend Shieling highly enough.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much, for being loyal visitors and taking time to review your stays. It's always lovely to welcome you back

15th August 2023:

Absolutely fantastic hospitality from Caroline & George who couldn't do enough for us. We were staying as a group of musicians and wives, playing at the Tigh n Truish Festival at the hotel next door. We were welcomed with delicious home baking and the breakfasts were plentiful and perfect. The rooms were spacious, spotless and comfortable. Have no hesitation in recommending.

The b&b is perfectly situated at the scenic bridge over the Atlantic on the beautiful Isle of Seil and next to the Tigh n Truish Hotel, where you will find a warm welcome, lovely food (chef is a previous Masterchef contestant) and a cosy bar.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for taking time to review you stay, we're really glad you all had a good time here.

We had a wonderful time at your place. I would say it was the best nights of our trip. We particularly appreciated your kindness, even if our last minute demands weren't easy (late arrival, dog...). Thank you so much for being so flexible & so kind. Breakfast was amazing, delicious!!! And the room was really cosy. I'd defently come back if I'm traveling to Seil again.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th June 2023:

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Sheiling BnB. We stayed in Flora - a very comfortable and pretty suite - and had a wonderful view each morning from our bedroom window.Fantastic weather was thrown in for good measure ! The attention to detail was really appreciated by both my husband and I - including fresh cake each afternoon, with fresh bread and baked goods as part of a lovely breakfast. I wasn't very well while there and Caroline could not have been kinder. Both George and Caroline also cooked us a very early breakfast as we had a funeral to attend on our last day. We very much hope to stay again !

You can do some lovely low key walks from the B and B itself.The pub /restaurant next door does food for most of the week (book ahead) but can close early ! The pub in Ellenabeich also does nice food for most of the day. Ellenabeich has beautiful gardens and other gardens are a short drive away. The wee museum is interesting too. My husband was very lucky to get a seat on the wildlife trip run by Seafari (book ahead) - and the highlight of his trip was seeing a whitetailed eagle.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking time to review your stay and for leaving helpful tips for our future guests. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay despite being unwell.

Caroline and George gave me a warm welcome into their lovely B and B. I was given delicious gluten free almond cake and berries and pot of tea then I showered and relaxed in my comfy bedroom. Breakfasts were delicious and I felt truly spoilt by their hospitality.

I had a delicious evening meal in the pub/restaurant next door. My time before joining a Retreat was spent in garden centres and on the beaches. I went across to Easdale Island on the small boat. There was a craft fair in the village hall which was worth visiting.

29th July 2022:

A warm welcome from lovely hosts. The tea and cake that awaited us, was just what we needed after the journey. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable in beautiful surroundings. All the little added extras just enhanced our experience. Would highly recommend and would love to return.

Didn’t venture far as we just wanted to drop and flop for a couple of days but we still had plenty to do to fill our time. Did a couple of the recommended walks which gave us the chance to explore parts of the island with our dog. We ate two nights at the Oyster Bar in Ellenabeich - they advise you to book but they were very accommodating on our first night when we just dropped by on the off chance. The pub at the end of the drive didn’t serve evening meals on the days we visited but we stopped by for a drink and they were very friendly. Oban was a nice day trip out.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks very much for taking time to review your stay, we're pleased you had a good time. Seil is a lovely place to simply spend a few days relaxing

26th June 2022:

Caroline and George are great hosts who are attentive, helpful and welcoming. The delicious tea and home made-cake on arrival was particularly appreciated. Breakfast is delicious and makes the best of local produce. Our room was bright, spacious and comfortable with superb views to the Clachan Bridge and Seil Sound. The location is excellent adjacent the Tigh and Truish Hotel and the lovely walk over to the tranquil bay and yacht anchorage at Puilladobhrain

The Tigh and Truish Hotel adjacent the B&B has an excellent restaurant featuring quality local produce at fair prices. It also has an excellent rustic bar full of local colour.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking time to review your stay, and giving tips for future guests to enjoy our area.

25th June 2022:

The proprietors Caroline and George are lovely warm people who provide a warm welcome . There are lots of little extras like tea and delicious home made cake on arrival and although on this occasion we did not use it , we loved the fact there was a little cafetiere by the bedside tea and coffee making facilities.The location looking directly onto The Bridge over the Atlantic is very special and with a hotel virtually next door serving nice meals it is perfect.

Sheiling is in a wonderful location for exploring the area which is full of scenery , wildlife and history ..especially the slate islands of Easdale , Luing etc but there are so many stunning places easily accessible. We had booked 2 nights in order to do a special birthday boat trip nearby but we would return and use The Sheiling as a base next time for just enjoying the many walks you can do in the immediate area

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review and for giving tips for future guests. I hope you do return to explore more of our beautiful area.

5th September 2021:

What a wonderful little haven. Caroline and George made us so welcome after a long drive with delicious tea and cakes and our bedroom and sitting area were just right. The room was clean with lovely bed linen and a really comfortable bed. Our daily breakfast was one of the best we have had in a BnB and fresh rolls, hot smoked salmon and eggs and kippers were only a few of the items on the menu. This is a perfect spot for exploring the area and having such lovely and helpful hosts was a huge bonus. This is not a fancy home but it’s a really lovely, clean, comfortable and welcoming place to stay. We would highly recommend it.

We actually used Caroline for all our recommendations. She was spot on and we explored the islands based on her suggestions. We also ate on the island, again at her suggestions. She even gave us some great tips for our trip home.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking time to review your stay. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your trip and that we could suggest good places to visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th July 2021:

A really enjoyable stay with our every need catered for. It was wonderful to have the extra room and mini fridge available to us and we really appreciated your hospitality and spirit of generosity. We felt as if we were being looked after while at the same time with being in Flora rooms having privacy and independence. Thank-you so much! And, the breakfasts were excellent. It was lovely to wake up to the smell of fresh rolls and muffins being baked.

We would recommend especially the Oyster Bar in Ellenabeich for a relaxed laid back meal - ask for a table at the back outside to get the best views over to Easedale (which is definitely worth visiting) - really friendly staff. We also had a lovely more formal meal on the terrace overlooking Loch Melfort at the Loch Melfort hotel. In the evening you can select items from both the restaurant & bistro menu - excellent service and incredible views.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your review, and for taking time to make recommendations for other visitors. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay here with us.

7th July 2021:

George and Caroline thank you for making our stay special. Afternoon tea with cake delicious. Options for breakfast made us ponder, Salmon for Kate and black pudd for me hit the spot.

Ardmaddy Gardens were beautiful, trips over to the other islands of Luing or Easdale are easily made. Poppies Garden Centre between Oban and Connel serve delicious lunches etc.

We had a lovely stay at Caroline and George’s beautiful B&B and it was the perfect end to our Scottish trip. We stayed in Flora which was so spacious with a separate sitting room. The B&B is in a beautiful location with plenty to do locally. The breakfast was a real highlight, locally sourced, freshly made bread and all delicious! Thanks Caroline and George for being so accommodating and hopefully we can visit again.

We couldn't have asked for a warmer reception. Caroline and George were kind, generous and very helpful. They made our stay a delight.

The Oyster Bar at Ellenabeich was very accommodating and has excellent views. The Loch Melfort Hotel has good food and a superb location. We recommend: the gardens at Ardmaddy and a walk through the woods down to the coast; Kilmartin Glen and its wonderful historic monuments; Port Appin for a walk and views of Castle Stalker; walks on Seil, which Caroline and George can fill you in on.

We were very pleased with everything about our stay. Caroline and George had carefully considered covid security but remained friendly and approachable. The breakfasts were amazing, as were the cakes and scones! We have already recommended you to any of our friends considering a trip to the highlands. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

There is a lovely short walk to the shore, starting from the driveway. The local pub has a great dining room with a modern menu. The steep walk to McCaig's tower is worth it for the views over Oban.

Caroline and George were perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was immaculate and spotless as was the rest of the house.

6th September 2019:

Lovely hosts, fabulous breakfasts, great location, luxurious comfort.

Really good bar restaurant almost next door. Tasty fish dishes particularly. A visit to Easdale on the very short ferry is a must, for the rugged nature and slate quarries. A trip to Oban’s chocolate shop for coffee and cake plus, of course, some fine chocs from the great variety on show. Oh, and a walk over the Atlantic bridge with sensational views is another must.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th August 2019:

28th July 2019:

Caroline and George are so friendly, nice and helpful people, that we were very delighted to spend the second-last night at their place! Their breakfast (especially the curd and the bread and rolls) are absolutely delicious and all the things they offer in the room are more than welcoming! We loved the tastefully decoration in the rooms, everything is so cordially - we also loved the music, which started exactly when we began our breakfast (how did they know our taste?)! The blog is a wonderful thing aswell!

After we left The Sheiling B&B we went to Kilbrandon's Church which was really worth a visit (for Irish: St.Brendan from Dingle went to this area aswell) and then into Oban to the best Café in town The Oban Chocolate Cafe - if you are no sweet teeth, you will become one there! And if you like good bookshops, don't miss Waterstone's in town! Oban and the area itself is a really good destination for exploring the whole region and may be connect/or not with a trip to the smaller or bigger islands.

Caroline and George were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our room (Nancy) was spacious and very comfy with a fabulous spacious shower room. The toiletries were lovely! Breakfast was very good with quality produce and George's pancakes were the best! Lovely homemade bread and muffins too! The view out of the bedroom to the Atlantic Bridge was great. We very much enjoyed our stay!

The Sheiling is in a great location to see the rest of Seil Island, Ellenabeich, Easdale,Luing and to learn about the history of the Slate Islands and if you enjoy walking, this is all possible without using the car. There are boat trips to the Corryvreckan Whirlpool and from Easdale and Luing great views of Scarba and Jura. You're not that far from Oban to do some shopping or eat out. We ate at the Oyster Bar for our evening meal which was good and also Ee-usk in Oban which was amazing!

George & Caroline are a very welcoming and attentive couple. Right from the moment we arrived they made us feel at home. Our room was super, very well presented and lovely and clean. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and they went to a lot of trouble to make sure we had a variety of tasty dishes. If we go to Seil again we would definitely choose to stay at the Sheiling.

We would definitely recommend eating at the Puffer Bar on Easdale and EE-Usk in Oban. Both serve delicious seafood.

Fabulous location on Seil island , first house on left after crossing Atlantic bridge:has own jetty with crystal clear fast flow river. A great photo is possible through the bridge . Caroline and George are great hosts , service superb breakfast is excellent and full Scottish to eggs with salmon available with home baked bread

Seil island is 15 mins drive from bridge to top of island at Ellenabeich which is fascinating with a slate museum old cottages and a harbour for ferry to Easdale island which is worth a visit. Seafari adventures offers various trips by large rib to islands and wildlife cruises. Longer marine mammal based trips offered by Sealife adventures ( dont’t confuse them ) at Clachan-Seil run by marine biologist David Ainsley; well worth booking if you like marine/ wildlife and geology. This a drier more thoughtful cruise in a stable boat through the Corryvreckan whirlpool. At Ellenabeich recommended is Oyster inn for sea food and snacks and views over harbour. Great short walks and climbs possible on hill overlooking harbour with superb views over islands. Drinks available at old inn : a short stagger from the Sheiling bnb The little store at Balvicar sells everything and gives out cash at PO. Great wee island been back twice

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay and shared your suggestions for exploring our lovely islands.

19th May 2019:

You both and The Sheiling, plus the islands and their views, the friendliness of everyone I met, and of course the perfect weather - oh yes! AND the bluebells, though I had them all the way home along Loch Eck too - all these made a perfect stay for me. I wished I'd been there for a week or more.

The 'Islands Centre' - I forget its exact title - in Cullipool on Luing is well worth an hour or two's visit, and their coffee-shop food is great. The Oyster Bar at Ellanbeich is great for a meal.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay here and exploring our beautiful islands. Caroline

The Sheiling is the sort of place you want to keep to yourself because it’s so nice , but that would be unfair.Having stayed there while working in the area, I returned a couple of weeks later for a short break with my daughter.We ate even more cake.I love it here.

We ate in the Oyster Bar which is a 10 min drive away.It was very nice.We took the ferry over to Easdale and swam in the L shaped quarry.The best thing we did was the Sealife Adventures trip to the Corryvreckan Whirlpool.This was amazing.Not cheap( it was over £50 each for the 3 hour trip)but really interesting and an enjoyable experience.( we took seasickness tablets just in case!)

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for taking time to review us again, and for giving hints on things to enjoy in the area. We're so glad that you made a return visit and hope to see you again sometime.

Caroline and George made our stay really wonderful. They took such care of us and the home baking is REALLY amazing!!! The little touches in the B&B are really lovely and much appreciated. Quite possibly the best B&B I've stayed in!

The Shieling B&B is a short drive from the end of the island and Easdale. Lots of nice walks in the area and good access to the sea and swimming spots nearby.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking time to review your stay. We're glad you enjoyed your time here and had a chance to explore a little of the islands. Caroline

I just LOVED my visit to Seil Island so much.Such a beautiful setting and I felt really welcome.The Sheiling is a lovely house and my room was everything you hope for in a b&b.Thoughtfully decorated, with so many touches of luxury-the soap, selection of tea bags and coffee, homemade shortbread...The CAKE to welcome me when I arrived.Breakfast was delicious and such a lot of baking had gone on.Thanks Caroline and George.

I ate in the Oyster Bar.The service was a bit chaotic but the food was nice.My friends had the langoustines and the mussels.I had fish and chips and we each had an oyster-not really my thing but I did it!There are loads of places to go for a walk.I got the little boat over to Easdale where I went swimming in the L shaped slate quarry.This was the best thing ever.I was so happy.Easdale has no cars and is tiny-you can go for a walk if swimming isn’t your thing.What a lovely place to visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your review, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. It's great you found so many things to do on a short stay (and one where you were busy!) and passed on tips for other guests to these beautiful islands. I had dip in the Sound yesterday but want to get over to the quarry for a proper swim soon. Caroline & George (wags from Bramble)

An absolutely delightful B&B - probably the nicest we have ever stayed in. The hospitality was faultless, the room was very comfortable and spotless, and the breakfast was superb. We very much hope to be back soon!

We very much enjoyed our dinner at The Puffer on Easdale, but remember to book dinner before you travel! (The Fisherman's Kitchen was already fully booked, by the time we got round to sorting out dinner).

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and meal at the Puffer. We hope you manage to return sometime to explore more of our area, and perhaps that meal at Fisherman's Kitchen.

A beautiful spot to stay and wished we had longer than our one night, would love to visit again some time, Caroline and George are great hosts with loads of local knowledge and run a very professional and comfortable B and B.

We didn't have time to explore the local area very much as it was only one night, but what we did see was lovely. One tip we do have is to stay as long as you can

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review, we hope you can return and explore more of our beautiful islands. Caroline

6th September 2017:

What a delightful place to stay! Everything about Sheiling is good quality. Caroline and Charles have a real eye for detail, and they are so friendly and helpful. The place is beautifully decorated, appointed, and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts are wonderful, plenty of choice and lots of home made goodies. The location is beautiful, overlooking the Atlantic bridge and with local walks taking in super views. Can't recommend it highly enough.

The SeaLife Adventures Boat trip from just down the road is a great experience. The 4 hour trip takes in lots, and the crew are informative and good at spotting the wildlife in the sea and on the land. If you like horse riding, then about 45 mins away is the Lunga Estate and they have some good horses and do both English and Western style riding.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review Jan, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay here and enjoyed some of the great things on offer in the area. Caroline

Immaculate room, great attention to detail and very welcoming hosts. There was tea and home-baked cakes waiting for us when we arrived and the breakfast was superb. We had our dog with us and he was made as welcome as we were. Can't recommend this place enough!

Nice food next door but one in the Tigh an Truish pub. Also did a lovely dog walk over to the coast following the footpath at the side of the pub.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th August 2016:

We received a very warm welcome from Caroline and George and the tea and home made cakes were very enjoyable. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable - the only thing to improve it further would be a TV connection - the set in our room could only play DVDs

Visit the slate islands (we went to Easdale)

Would Recommend: Yes

27th August 2016:

Warmest welcome ever! George and Caroline are totally nice! A big room and a big and new bathroom with all you need inside like shower gel, body cream, etc.. We´ll surely come back!

Great Island with a really nice Inn, friendly people and lots to do around. It´s only a few Miles to Oban, a beautiful town with a destillery and a haven vor ferries to the Hebrides. Lots of shops and a Colloseum on a hill in the middle of town.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th July 2016:

Unobtrusive, friendly hosts were very attentive. They seemed very experienced, provided service that was beyond our expectations and seemed to be able to anticipate our needs. Above all they were obviously used to different types of guests,, extremely knowledgable and readily available if you wanted something. We liked their collection of books And the location was excellent. The house was set back far enough to provide a private space yet in a position to lookout on the wonderful nearby bridge.it was also very clean, had a comfortable bed, great shower and plenty nearby to do.

Stay longer and don't forget to go for a walk if you over-indulge.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope that the rest of your travels go well. Best wishes Caroline

18th October 2015:

An unexpected wee gem! Caroline and George were very welcoming and friendly. The bedroom and ensuite were just lovely and food (including home made bread and cakes were fantastic!). I normally stay in hotels but my experience here has opened my eyes to Bed & Breakfast and I will certainly return here. Truly excellent.

The pub (which serves food) is within 100m of the accommodation and Seil is just beautiful. Sheiling B & B overlooks the Bridge over the Atlantic (it is opposite the pub) and the views are spectacular. A wonderful base for a true view of the wonderful Scottish scenery.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Caroline

23rd September 2015:

A lovely welcome with tea and Bara-brith cake ! A very high standard of accommodation..highly recommend.

The pub next door for meals; and Easdale just up the road for fabulous coastal scenery. The road to the ferry for Luing is lovely and you can hire bikes and explore this remote island.

Would Recommend: No

Thank you so much for your review I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Caroline

17th September 2015:

Superb hospitality

The Atlantic Bridge is on the doorstep of the B&B! It makes for a stunning view from the breakfast room. The pub is a minute's walk away and we enjoyed our meal. Clean and friendly.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you of your review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Caroline

1st September 2015:

My husband and I both enjoyed our stay with you. The personal touch really makes all the difference and you gave it in abundance, including the gluten free diet!! The location, facilities and welcome have not been matched; well done. Well worth crossing the Atlantic for!

Make sure you explore the Island on foot or by car, right to it's southern most tip. Walk over the hill to the other bay but watch the weather! Take the ferry across to Luing and explore that island. Easdale too. We didn't have time to. do the latter

Would Recommend: Yes
