Colin and Janet Sanders are a fifth generation Helensburgh family. They've lived away, raised their children and returned to the town to enjoy their retirement running Arran View as a friendly B&B. They encourage their guests to share in the facilities of the house and feel totally free to ask if there is something that they need.

Colin has a Naval background and is widely travelled. Work has taken him all over the world, including as a member of the Royal Yacht when the Queen embarked on a round world cruise.

He has experience of a large number of B&Bs when on business in Great Britain, which has given him some insight into the needs of those ‘on the move’. He enjoys meeting people and swapping yarns. In his spare time you may find him on the golf course from which the views are magnificent, in contrast to Colin's golf!

Scottish Literature is dear to Jenny's heart and is reflected in the wide range of prose, poetry and humour placed in each bedroom and in the sitting room.

Since her retirement Jenny has been researching her family tree and so could give you some pointers on where to begin if you wish to investigate your own ancestors.
