Superb example of a fantastic B&B
Extremely welcoming and made to feel totally at home. Everything I could have wanted was available and the brekafast in the morning was fit for a king. The host was very helpful with an issue I had and I would definitely book again if I was in the area.

A welcoming arrival and very comfortable stay.
Host Gordon & Evonne made us feel so welcoming with their smiles and happiness, showing us to their lounge room after we unpacked and making us tea after a long journey. Only there for one night but prepared us a delicious breakfast and nothing was too much trouble. We wish them well.

Our hosts were amazing. So friendly and welcoming. Our room was warm, spotlessly clean and spacious. The breakfast was way above what we had expected, with seasonal fresh fruit, yoghurt and cereal followed by a full breakfast made of the highest quality produce. All accompanied by fresh filter coffee to send us on our journey. Thank you Yvonne and Gordon.

We absolutely loved our stay at Torbeckhill Bungalow. Yvonne and Gordon were excellent hosts and treated us royally. Yvonne surprised us with tea upon our arrival, seating us on their patio with a panoramic view of the countryside. She called to book a dinner reservation for us and opened the lounge for us upon our return. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean with every amenity we needed and more. Breakfast was sumptuous and we loved the conversation even more than the food! We would highly recommend staying at Torbeckhill. It was simply wonderful!

EXECELLANT .
If one could DREAM of a two day visit to a property in which one could RELAX with out any worries, TORBECK HILL would be the ONE . But do not come off the A 74 M fromGlasgow at junction 19 because as OLDIES & not using Sat Nav you will be in trouble in the DARK . Narrow lanes ,twisty , unable to read any signs that were not covered with vegitation , & having driven over 200 hundred miles down thro SCOTLAND WE WERE LOST ! ! .A 2 nd t phone to the owners produced a remark , STAY there I will come down the road to you. The SIGN was in the HEDGE 50 yards from us , so we could SEE the next DAY . Even people we asked did not know of TORBECK HILL ! ! Just one & a half miles up this lane & we were lead to this LOVELY BUNGALOW & SALVATION . PERFECTION it WAS . TWO VERY TIRED TRAVELLERS Soon forgot what had gone on those HOURS before . THANK YOU the TORBECK TWO .

After a long and fraught journey the warm welcome and pot of tea was much appreciated. The property is spotlessly clean and the hosts could not be more welcoming and attentive. The breakfast was probably the best we have had anywhere. The comfortable bed ensured a good night’s sleep setting us up for the day. First rate all round

An excellent place to stay! The bungalow is beautiful throughout and the surrounding scenery breathtaking. I arrived after a long journey, not helped by satnav, and was met by Gordon who set me up in the garden with a much appreciated tea tray. There is a well furnished lounge for guest use. My bedroom and bathroom were excellent. Fresh milk and a bottle of water were provided for the well stocked tea tray. The bed and bedding were very comfortable and felt quite luxurious. There were good quality toiletries and a good supply of soft towels provided. I slept so well I didn’t hear a heavy rainstorm. Breakfast prepared and served by Yvonne was again excellent- plenty of choice of cereals etc. followed by a very full English (Scottish?) breakfast cooked to perfection. I am now looking forward to my stay on my return journey home. Both Gordon and Yvonne are very friendly. The whole place was spotless. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Great B&B to stop at
Lovely clean place, out in the countryside, with some very welcoming and helpful hosts, can't say enough about how lovely they were. Just ideal after a 480 mile drive, got us settled in with tea and biscuits, then they made sure we were booked into a restaurant in, they couldn't have been more helpful, will be stopping there again after another long road trip.
