Comfortable and clean accommodation - a little dated, but then so are we. Great location next to the river, and as we had lovely weather, we were able to relax with a cuppa and watch the river flow by. Greeted by friendly host who treated us to some lovely local shortbread. Nice walks along the Spey and nearby, so plenty of reasons to return. Many thanks

What a beautiful little cottage in the middle of a lovely village there’s owners where very helpful with information about the area. . The rooms are a good size for 2 people. We will definitely be booking again. It was an ideal location (base) to travel around and visit other areas. Lovely walks near by beautiful walk along the river Spay watching fly fishing gentlemen. Would highly recommend. In the village there’s a co op, Chinese takeaway, fish and chip shop, pubs and cafe’s. Theres a tourist information centre too.
