A great break in the Scottish mountains

A very friendly welcome from Diane, the owner. Who showed me the room and how everything worked. There was plenty of information available on local attractions but the best was just talking to Diane herself. A good breakfast. They are proud of their porridge ( and rightly so ) sets you up for the day. There are places in the village to get food. This is a small village so no high street brands but whilst more restricted in the winter months there is still a choice. With a free public car park opposite and the freedom to come and go as you please, this is a good choice for a more rural break in the Cairngorms. It’s probably worth mentioning that this is probably the nearest guest house to the Lecht ski centre (however they don’t promise snow)

Cozy stay near Carigorns

Great breakfast and continental spread! Room was cozy and very comfortable. Ate at the pub on the corner at night. Theee restaurants in this small town to choose from but a great base to get to whiskey distilleries and the Carigorn Mountains. We stayed in September and the stores close early (3ish) and restaurants close around (8ish)

Amazing Guest House

Dianne and Stephen were wonderful hosts. You are welcomed warmly and feel like a member of the family as soon as you walk in the door. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the whole guest house was impeccably clean. The breakfast choices are many and the food is 5 star. I had the Eggs Benedict and some of Stephens famous Scottish Oatmeal. I was sad to leave and will be back for sure. ❤️
