Excellent location and friendly staff. I arrived later than expected and was delighted to be offered a hot meal. The bed was extremely comfortable and I had a great night's sleep. Thanks once again for packed lunch due to early start. This was a really great stopover on my walking trip. Hospitality much appreciated and can thoroughly recommend.

Good location with friendly hosts. The room and bathroom were very clean and the little fridge was very handy. It was helpful that the extra room was made available to us for our belongings.

I liked that you could choose what you required for breakfast. It is a more efficient system. The breakfast itself was excellent.
I attended a Whisky Festival dinner and the food was superb. A lot of time and effort had been put in by the hotel management the chef and the distillery staff.

An absolutely great place to get away from the monotony of everyday life
The countryside around provides plenty of peaceful walks, skiing is also available at the nearby Lecht Ski Centre, who manage to provide skiing even when there is very little snow about !
The Richmond Arms Hotel is the place to stay. Provides a great base with fantastic ownership, service, food and drink.

Even at the height of summer, be prepared with your layered wind and waterproofs. As long as you have the correct clothing, the fine views to the Cairngorms and village walks can be enjoyed fully. There is plenty of bird life to view. The gift shop and clock restaurant are well appointed and worth patronising.

Friendly village.
Friendly village. Lovely cafes and a wonderful gift shop Spendrift. I did some Christmas shopping there and it was only May!. Best bacon rolls ever at the cafe across the main road from the house. We ate out at the Richmond hotel which is dog friendly and we also had an excellent fish supper from a van which comes on a Tuesday late afternoon. There are lots of lovely walks around the village itself as well as others in the surrounding area which is beautiful . Ideal spot for a relaxing holiday.

Perfect location if you are wanting to explore the snow roads and the north east of scotland. We only stayed overnight so can't tell you a lot about the town but it was very pretty and in an excellent location.

Richmond Hotel also did excellent food.
Richmond Hotel also did excellent food.
Sadly The Clock Restaurant across the road is not currently open due to Covid restrictions. Having been to Tomintoul three times previously I can highly recommend the available accommodation and the location in general.
We were a group of 4 families and had the best time at the hostel.
The communal kitchen/living space was perfect for entertaining all ages.
There was also a brilliant garden space too.
Tomintoul is a great wee town and has everything you need for a Highland adventure.
Great pub, restaurant, a well stocked post office, gift shop, visitor centre and some lovely walks to explore the local area.
We were delighted to help some local travellers by drying their clothes in the drying room. was lovely to hear about their adventures too.
We hadn't been to Tomintoul and the area north of Deeside before, but it's a beautiful area - a little softer than the central Cairgorms and with many nice waymarked walks in the Glenlivet estate. The Annex is part of a main house, but we never heard a peep from the owners while we were there. They did however give us a friendly welcome. The apartment is newly decorated and well equipped, including practical items such as a blanket to cover the sofa to protect it from our dogs. It was a really nice place to stay.
Facilities in Tomintoul are somewhat limited and the potential of the place has not nearly been exploited. It was therefore great to stay at Gordon House, where everything you need is supplied without needing to even leave the premises. Bed, breakfast, evening meal, beer, wine …. and even Whisky tasting.
The food was excellent throughout, the rooms clean and comfortable and the company from the characters Les and John was a treat.
House was very clean and tidy as was the garden. I chose this property with my dog in mind as she is used to having a safe garden to run in and this was exceptionally good and safe. The house was well equipped. It was a home from home. We liked Tomintoul itself. A friendly place and nice cafes and pubs which allow dogs in. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t too kind to us but no one can be blamed for that.
Location is amazing! Tomintoul is such a charming little village in the Cairngorms, with pubs and a shop in easy walking distance.
The house is super well equipped, I don't think there was anything missing, as a matter of fact the design is tasteful and all very clean, beds comfortable, kitchen has all the that you may want.
Would be happy to spend our next holiday here for sure.
Thank you!
another exceptional stay at this amazing guest house , dianne and steven are amazing hosts with a lot of local knowledge and the breakfast and home made bread that steven make are top notch , rooms are all amazingly appointed and all have their own separate themes , i really can't wait till im back up in tomintoul again
We received such a warm welcome from the very friendly staff at the Richmond, and the room was very comfortable and clean. A highlight was the shower, which was just as hot and powerful as you'd want after a long day's walk. We would certainly recommend the Richmond for anyone passing through Tomintoul.
Location was convenient. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and it was very good. Food was delicious and reasonably priced (breakfast was included). Leah was our server for both. She was attentive, hard working, pleasant and friendly.
I was in room7,would agree with other reviews that road noise was a problem.Food there was ok-nothing special but for £50 what do you expect…infact go across the road to the other pub/hotel and see what they are like!!!!
The Argyle Guest House is a well run establishment with everything needed for a brief or extended stay. The rooms are spacious and well put together and the hostess is wonderful.
Everything about the place! The owner took time to introduce herself. The warmth of everyone attached to the hotel. Good room and nice bar for the evening meal and drinks!
Found this gem of a hotel last minute. Comfortable, charming inn. Had live music and a cooked breakfast, which exceeded my expectations.
I'd def return if in the area
Staff were lovely and chatty, very friendly and helpful. The food is 'hearty fare' and good value. Hotel has truly old world charm, original Victorian features
