Company information

We moved to Fort Augustus to take over Lorien House B&B in Feb 2025. It was a complete career change for us but you could say it had been a dream of ours for 10 years! Billy is Scottish and originally from Lanarkshire, Debs is English originally from Nottingham. We love chatting with our guests but also respect those that prefer their own space. We are extremely knowledgeable about places to visit in our local area or further afield and offer many suggestions in our guest information book. We are happy to help our guests plan their day - just ask! :)
