Glencoe is situated on the main A82 road from Stirling and the Trossachs to Fort William and is a famous pass between the mountains. From the top of the pass you look down over Loch Leven, the village of Ballachulish and the Corran ferry beyond. There are excellent outdoor activities to be enjoyed in the area with Skiing at the Glencoe Ski Centre, great walking, some serious rock climbing, mountain biking, fishing, canoeing and sailing. The beauty of the area is breathtaking. There is also a Glencoe visitor centre for learning more about the history of the area and the famous massacre.
There is not much difference between a Guesthouse and a Bed and Breakfast other than an implied larger and more professionally run establishment (though this is not always the case!). A guesthouse is more likely to have staff, a 24-hour reception and better facilities for guests than a Bed and Breakfast. They may or may not offer lunch and dinner.
