You can't help but have a "Wow!" moment when you drive up to Isla Bank House. It is a beautiful old mansion, being lovingly restored to its original splendour by Nick and Vena, our hosts. And I can't say enough wonderful things about them! Vena and NIck are welcoming, professional, and just lovely people. They strike the perfect balance of hospitality and privacy. My husband and I felt both very looked-after and also privacy-respected. We decided to dine both nights at the House, and our meals were homemade, of very high quality and delicious. Our breakfasts (included) were equally as good. Our room was spacious and elegant, with plenty of room to keep our things. The bed was very comfortable, and our ensuite bath spacious and luxurious. Keith is lovely and we spent a lot of time walking around. It is helpful to remember that this is a guest house in a village, not a city hotel, just to set expectations.

Breakfast was nice but minimal. Location was perfect for my party to meet with other members of my family at a family celebration in Keith.

Vena & Nick are super friendly hosts with a very well kept B&B. The food was always cooked to a high standard with fresh ingredients. They run their B&B with a lot of heart and soul. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

A beautifully renovated house with a warm welcome from the hosts. A very comfortable, relaxing stay.

Vena and Nick were very warm and welcoming hosts. Isla Bank is a beautiful and large 19th century building with very large gardens which Vena and Nick are painstakingly restoring. This is a long term project, but their efforts so far are very impressive. Their introduction and welcome is warm and genuine. Interior decor is befitting the age of the property. Bedrooms are large and well furnished. Our bathroom was particularly impressive. Importantly, breakfast was plentiful and cooked to perfection with seconds available if you felt up for a challenge!

What a lovely place to stay. The house itself is so picturesque - both inside and out. The breakfast and dinner were delicious (the Scottish porridge was really cosy and warming, and the eggs were so good!) and the hosts Vena and Nick were really helpful and kind - nothing was too much trouble and their recommendations for things to do in the area were great. The location was also super convenient for some of the distilleries we wanted to visit, including Balvenie, the Macallan, and Glendronach. We’d definitely recommend this beautiful property for a romantic weekend away or a relaxing getaway and would choose it again if we’re ever in this beautiful part of the country again - maybe we’d get lucky and see one of the local polecats or badgers!

Breakfast was absolutely delicious & cooked to order. Isla Bank House is a great location - literally across the street from one of the oldest distilleries in Speyside and very cool old manse surrounded by gardens and woodland.

The breakfast room is outstanding as were the Scottish breakfasts

My husband and I stayed at Isla Bank House for my birthday and it was absolutely gorgeous! The house was beautiful and we really appreciated all the little design touches. The tub was fantastic as was the bubble bath! We loved the sustainable and no waste approach as well. Vena and Nick were excellent hosts too. They were very communicative and even spent time the day we left showing us around the walled garden. We had to leave early due to a family emergency (which they were very kind about) but we would have gladly stayed a whole week.
