The host was very friendly and imparted sone good local knowledge, especially about where to have dinner. The room was outstanding. Loved the decoration and the beds were super comfortable. Everything was clean and fresh and we would love to have stayed for more than just one night.
AustraliaDiane was fabulous! The place was fantastic and breakfast was amazing!!
CanadaOur host Dianne was super cordial, and helpful in planning our outings. The room was lovely, breakfast sumptuous, and the location perfect. We couldn't ask for anything more.
United States of AmericaOur stay here was great. The room was really nicely decorated (and normally I’m not really one to notice these things) and clean but the highlight was the bed, it was REALLY comfortable. The homemade bread at breakfast was a real highlight as well. Tomintoul isn’t the easiest place to get to but it’s a nice place and has a lot going on for its size, good pubs, a couple of good restaurant options and the tearoom has very nice cakes.
United KingdomEverything. Friendly staff, excellent facilities, terrific breakfast!
United States of AmericaOur room was very large and comfortable. Beds were great! The breakfast menu had many options from a traditional Scottish breakfast to Eggs Benedict (which I had and they were delicious!) Our hostess, Diane, was very lovely and I truly enjoyed talking to her. I recommend this B & B and would visit again when then chance arises.
United States of AmericaThe owner was lovely and the breakfast was good. Our room was very spacious and the bathroom was huge which for 3 young females traveling was a plus. There isn't much in this town but it's a beautiful spot in the Cairngorms and there's still a fun pub right down the street.
United States of AmericaDianne is the finest host in Scotland! I recommend this as one of the best we have stayed in over the past month. Breakfast was great and Dianne is a wealth of knowledge about what to see and do. Don't miss this gem!!
United States of AmericaThe host was wonderful, so kind, welcoming, and helpful! Breakfast was also great, you get a good amount of options that were perfectly cooked and were very filling.
United States of AmericaWonderful place to stay, Diane was lovely and welcoming. The accommodations were beautiful and right on the main road in town (and conveniently right next to the whisky castle). Breakfast was hearty, homemade, and delicious.
