This place is like a fairytale. Everything is very well thought of starting from the slippers provided to the complimentary bread, butter and jam. The room is spacious and very clean. The decor made the room feel like home. The location and the views are great. Every corner in this house had something to admire.

It was honestly one of the coziest places we’ve stayed in during our time in the Highlands! Everything was spotless and so thoughtfully prepared, you can really tell how much care goes into it. AJ and Luke were the kindest hosts, incredibly welcoming and genuine, and they made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. We only wish we could have stayed a few more days! We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this lovely place to everyone heading to Ullapool.

The guest house was in a great location. Next to the bus station, 5 minutes away from Waverley station. Our room was clean with firm comfy beds, exactly as we requested. Murray, our host, was helpful and polite, and looked after us so well. Our room had a great view from the windows. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms were quieter than I had expected given the location.

Great place to stay in a fantastic location. Walking distance to restaurants, Loch Lomond and Balloch Castle and Country Park. The area was quiet and the guest house was clean and comfortable. Andrea was a great host.

Mark is a very friendly and helpful host. He prepares a yummy breakfast (yogurt with fresh fruits, porridge, pancakes with maple syrup and all sorts of cooked scottish breakfast). It’s a beautiful (and quiet) guest house within walking distance to the restaurants.

Nancy is a great host, she is very welcoming and serves you an outstanding breakfast. The Guest House is beautiful and centrally located in Pitlochry (but absolutely quiet). Next time in Scotland - we will be back!

Alba host was very welcoming. After check-in was shown facilities and given keys for personal use whilst at the Guest House. Excellent facilities through out. Great value for money rate which includes breakfast. Selection of Cereals and fruit plus full hot breakfast. On Main Road a little away from city centre - about 15/20 minutes walk. Quiet location. Aberdeen is city full of history, culture and architecture. Would highly recommend a visit to the city and the Alba Guest House.

Warm cosy homely guest house with real character. Our room was spacious & clean with very comfy beds. Exceptionally quiet considering the busy road it is situated on. Direct bus link to the City Centre in both directions. Fantastic welcoming hosts & a friendly Tom to greet you

The room was lovely and clean, spacious and warm. A comfy bed and a great host. Chris went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and was more than helpful with suggestions and further information. Great location on a quiet road but within easy walking distance of the town centre. Highly recommended if staying in Inverness.
