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. We traveled a lot through Scotland along the years and I am confident to say that this is an excellent choice to stay. The property is a very nice and very well kept old house. Room has independent heating, hair dryer, fridge (with complimentary water, soft drink and fresh milk), a Nespresso coffee machine and even ear plugs! The beds were very comfortable. Brian and Laura are very diligent and efficient in case you need anything. The breakfast is absolutely outstanding. We had full Scottish breakfast and you can very well tell the quality of the products. Definitely hard to find a breakfast that equals this.

Thomas welcomed us and made dinner suggestions and reservations for us as well as recommending good walks and activities. Our room was very large on the top floor and had the most comfortable beds we have experienced in Scotland. Lots of pillows and good quality soaps. Then there was breakfast. No end of choice. Our favourites were the scrambled eggs on leeks on toast and a wonderful fruit salad. The kippers were delicious and came with instructions from Thomas on the correct way to debone the fish. We enjoyed talking with Thomas and appreciated his dry wit. All in all a wonderful stay.
