Service and facilities brilliant. Lovely place to visit with good walks and facilities within a short distance. There was a bit of noise on our last morning pretty early from other guests but nothing preventable by the property.

Very nice place to stay. Dianne is a super host. We had just done the NC500 and wanted to visit Balmoral Castle on our way home to Nottingham. Was ideal location to stay. The room was lovely and the breakfast was great. Good value for money.

Great place to stay.
Received a very warm welcome from the host, Dianne. My room was lovely. Had everything I needed for a very pleasant and comfortable stay. The breakfast was excellent, especially the freshly baked bread every morning. Kept me full, so I didn't really need lunch. Super comfy bed.

Great option in Tomintoul
Well located in the village. Friendly welcome although contact was limited because of COVID. Room was comfortable and in good condition. No cooked breakfast at the moment but this was more than made up for by a really excellent and substantial continental breakfast delivered to room. Tremendous value. Definitely recommended.

Very friendly welcome and freshly refurbished room. The breakfasts give a choice and quality that is not usually found in a guest house. Tomintoul itself is a small village with plenty of things to do or see but remember quite a few of them are seasonal so either do your research or just phone Diane and check - she’s very knowledgable about what’s on in the area

A wonderful place to spend the night after a long day of driving, and an excellent breakfast in the morning! We wish we could have spent more time there, but had to be on the road the next morning. It's a beautiful little town too, with several good options for dining in the center. It's nice being able to walk everywhere, too!
