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.

Stargazing Stay
Diane was an absolutely fantastic host. My partner and I were in Tomintoul stargazing for an evening and loved staying here. The room was in excellent condition and was a good size for the pair of us and our dog to stay in. Diane was very knowledgeable about the local area and gave great recommendations on where to go. In the morning we had a lovely home cooked breakfast, they were very considerate of our dietary restrictions and cooked us fantastic vegan and vegetarian breakfasts. Thanks Steve! Overall 10/10.

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.
