Birchwood Guest Lodge

Balmaha

At the guest house, all rooms have a desk, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. All guest rooms at Birchwood Guest Lodge come with a seating area.

Glasgow is 33 km from Birchwood Guest Lodge, while Stirling is 42 km from the property. The nearest airport is Glasgow Airport, 42 km from the guest house. The owner welcomed me when I arrived late in the evening , tired from the west highland way, and was very kind and warm! He was helpful and patient even though it was pretty late. The room was decorated so special, and had everything I needed for a good night sleep. The shower is great. The location is close to the WHW trail and was the best choice. Very close to a pub and a coffee place. I would stay there again.

The Waterfront 4 stars

Anstruther

Just a few steps from Anstruther’s harbour and marina, with views over the Firth of Forth, The Waterfront offers 4-star bed and breakfast accommodation with free Wi-Fi. Its à la carte restaurant has a charming modern glass and timber frontage. I loved the courtyard to have a nice glad of wine after a day of travel. The breakfast was top notch (eggs Benedict on a croissant with smoked salmon) . my group loved walking the Fife path to the flag hill park and finding sea glass and pottery shards on the beach at low tide
