The Best Bed and Breakfast place I've ever been to...

Leaving Inverannan we walked through Glen Falloch towards Crianlarich. Todays walk was only 12 miles and now we were definitely getting fitter. We could easily have made it to Bridge of Orchy but we had booked at Tyndrum so we strolled along the beautiful glen and Strath Fillan. The area is decorated with a backdrop of Munros. The warmth made them hazy but no less spectacular and I wish my camera and photography skills did them justice.
We came across another campsite (Auchtertyre) which was away from roads and any noise. It looked blissful and I think I could easily spend a week there. This was a farm and had a small shop and cabins like the one we'd left and smaller. A noticeboard here informed me that we were looking at 3 Munros from here, Ben Lui at 3708' being the highest.
We stopped for a paddle before walking nearly to Tyndrum.
The Glengarry B&B is located 200 yards off the WHW and it is signposted with white sticks. I was rather alarmed to see it was right on the main road but I need not have worried. It was blissful.
We were there at 2.35pm...!! We were so fit by this time, that our 12 miles seemed like a stroll in the park. Also this stretch is easy on the eye and underfoot so that makes the going easier.
We were greeted with tea and homemade cake, a beautiful sopacious, quiet and clean room with roomy shower and to Sandra's delight, a hairdrier! The little luxuries included "Skin So Soft". We sat in their conservatory reading a great selection of magazines before setting off to the village centre for a meal. We were even offered a lift, it's only 4oo yards!
The evening was so hot that we sat outside (for a lager) before heading to the cafe for our salads. The menu was extensive, cheap, well prepared and imaginative. No wonder the place was packed.
A lovely night's sleep.
Glengarry House (glengarryhouse@supanet.com) and on the WHW accommodation list. I'm not getting paid for this plug and in fact although I tried to put a report on Trip Adviser, I couldn't be bothered doing all the registration.
