It is located 8.8 km from Newtonmore Golf Club and provides luggage storage space. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Easy location just off the A9 (literally a 2 minute drive). Approximately 50 miles south from inverness. Beautiful house and gardens with plenty of bird life and red squirrels. Lovely quiet location despite being near the A9 which you cannot hear. I had a large room (I stayed in the Stag room) which had a king size canopied four poster bed. A large ensuite bathroom with a bath and shower over bath arrangement. Spotlessly clean. The premises are licensed so you can enjoy a glass of wine or a dram from the drinks menu. Everywhere, was spotlessly clean. The host was amazing and engaging and cooks delicious breakfasts to order from the menu.which you decide on the night before. You can also arrange for an evening meal (sadly didn't order this option as I arrived fairly late in the evening) Scenery is fantastic with some falls you cross via a small bridge to drive to the house. Fabulous host. Beautiful location. Great value.

Located 13 km from Boat of Garten Golf Club, Ardlogie Guest House offers accommodation in Aviemore with access to a hot tub. Providing free private parking, the 3-star guest house is 49 km from University of the Highlands and Islands, Inverness. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

Highland Wildlife Park is 13 km from Ardlogie Guest House, while Landmark Forest Adventure Park is 13 km away. Inverness Airport is 60 km from the property. It was by chance I stumbled upon the Guest House. I had booked somewhere else and realised my horror that it was owned by Britannia. I'll say no more on that. I promptly cancelled and found this gem. Kirsty was an amazing host and her enthusiasm shines through in everything she does. The setting is gorgeous. We spent a fair amount of time watching the spa drama that was the ducks and chickens wandering around. Breakfast is delicious and the fact they use their own eggs... We were both happy travellers. Rooms were so cosy, with plenty of thought put in to it including DVDs... Honestly I will be back plenty more when I can. Thank you for making our trip away great.

Situated in Grantown on Spey and only 1.4 km from Grantown Museum, RossMor Bed & Breakfast features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property has garden views and is 8.7 km from Abernethy Golf Club and 13 km from Boat of Garten Golf Club. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. RossMor was an absolutely delightful Bed & Breakfast - clean, homely, comfy, quiet, and a short walk from the centre of Grantown-on-Spey. The breakfast part of the B&B was outstanding - a wide menu choice featuring seasonal produce, cooked to order, and served with aplomb. Our on-site hosts, Ben and Thomas, went out of their way to look after us and helpfully suggested local highlights we must see and experience.
