Welcome to Strathfillan House
"I've stayed in many B&B's over the years, this is up there as one of the best"
Mrs Andrews USA
Diane and Jim welcome you to the B&B website of Strathfillan House in the Highland village of Tyndrum. We offer Bed and Breakfast accommodation in our family home and can assure you of a warm friendly welcome to this rather special part of Scotland.
Strathfillan House is the former Manse operated by the Church of Scotland until 1969. We now run the house as a family home and have decided to open a few rooms for B&B. The house was quite grand for the area at the time and still retains most of the original features and is situated in its own grounds, the nearest neighbour being 500m away. Historic Scotland have given the house a Listed Building Catagory B Award. The guest house rooms have recently been refurbished and offer relaxing accommodation suitable for anyone visiting this wonderful part of the country.
Historic points of interest around the house include General Wade's road which forms part of the northern boundary of the garden. 100 metres to the East is St Fillan's Holy Pool and it is a mile to the ruins of St Fillan's Priory. Half a mile north of the house is the field where in 1306 King Robert the Bruce and a handful of men were blocked by the Macdougall's of Argyll. Bruce was outnumbered and managed to flee by dropping weapons into Loch an Arm nearby and making good his escape. We also have lead, silver and gold mines nearby. Remnants of the ancient Caledonian forest are just around the corner in Cononish.
The area around Tyndrum is fantastic for those collecting Scottish munros and with 15 within 10 miles of your B&B you are spoilt for choice. If your require, Diane can organise a day out including up to four munros and assist you with navigation etc.
Strathfillan is situated in the middle of nowhere but in the centre of everything. If it's some of Scotland's best scenery you are after then go no further. Within an hours drive you can see the lowlands or the splendour that is Glencoe. Local music festivals, highland games, golf courses, hunting shooting and fishing to name but a few of the things you can do. Not to mention all the outdoor pursuits that can be entered into.
We look forward to welcoming you to our bed and breakfast. In the meantime please have a look round the site to see just how we can best accommodate you.

For a better view of the house try out the virtual tour of the glen. It will take a minute or two to load but its worth it. Here it is.
Cheers fur noo,
Diane and Jim
