Set in Grantown on Spey and only less than 1 km from Grantown Museum, Brooklynn Guest House offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. It is situated 8.5 km from Abernethy Golf Club and provides room service. Beautiful house that was very clean and had all the modern amenities, but kept the charm of an old home. Shona was a wonderful host and she shared stories of the town and ideas for stops along our travels. Breakfast was delicious. Very close to the high street and the river Spey.

Located in Newtonmore and only 500 metres from Newtonmore Golf Club, Clune House B&B provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property features inner courtyard and quiet street views, and is less than 1 km from Highland Folk Museum. Outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the fresh air. Clean room, cozy vibe, everything well organized and presented as what is described online. Super breakfast, definitely a highlight of the stay! The portion of breakfast is very generous. According to our nice host Bryan, not many people can finish a whole portion of certain cooked dishes, which triggered my ego to eat more than I should have, 😂 😂
