Two night stay to walk the Spey River

We really enjoyed our two night stay. Stevie and Ginny were great hosts with a lot of local knowledge. The top floor suite was extremely comfortable and the luxury of a roll top bath with a view made it extra special. Nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was really filling. There are a number of restaurants in the town, but would suggest you book in advance as they are very busy. If we ever pass close to Grantown on Spey we would definitely return.

If I could give this property an 11/10 I would, it’s fantastic. My husband and I are visiting from Canada and just spent two nights at the Dunallen House while we worked our way through the distilleries in the area. Ginny and Stephen were so welcoming, I truly felt like guests in their home. Everything about the place was perfect, including the amazing breakfasts that Ginny prepared. Morning breakfasts were made even more spectacular by the great chats with Stephen while he catered to our every need. He is a giant wealth of knowledge about all things Scottish and Irish. He recommended places we had never heard of but once we went there, we were amazed. My husband even found a few extra distilleries to check out and looks like we will be buying a new suitcase to bring all the local Spey scotches home!!! If you are considering this property, don’t think, just book! You will not regret it! Thanks Ginny and Stephen for an amazing few days.

Ginny and Steve are the most lovely hosts. So helpful and sweet! Breakfast is outstanding - delicious, freshly cooked, extremely generous portions, and an extremely wide selection of items. The town of Grantown on Spey is small, so not many eateries to choose from for dinner. But the B&B is just a couple blocks away from a peaceful wooded walk to the river.

Steve and Ginny were welcoming and kind. The “roost was comfortable and had a spacious bathroom. Walkers shortbread was left at our coffee and tea station -yum! Steve suggested the forests walks to the Spey River and we enjoyed that so much. We then drove over the Cairngorm mountain roads to visit the 3 B’s as Steve put it- Balmoral, Braemar and Ballater and followed Steve’s suggestion of dinner at The Puffin (a wonderful day!). I would recommend a stay here to anyone into beautiful countryside, hikes, and castle visits and wonderful hosts!

Utrolig trivelig vertskap! Meget hjelpsomme og frokosten var veldig bra! Eneste jeg savnet var at TV’n på rommet kunne vært noen tommer større…! Dusjen var romslig med bra trykk på vannet!

Perfect hosts in a great property

Steve and Ginny were consummate hosts. Steve's front of house charm combined with Ginny's amazing work in the background made our stay at Dunallan one of the highlights of our Scotland tour. The property is lovely with oodles of character. Ginny's full Scottish breakfast made the perfect start to each of our days. Thank you team. Amelia says thank you to you and hello to John.

We had a very warm welcome from Veronica and Steve. The breakfast was very good and set you up for the day. Steve gave us very informative information of what to see in the area and even provide a map. For anyone looking for a home from home you could not ask for a better place to stay. Very quiet so you get a good nights sleep ready for the next day what ever you want to do.

Wonderful experience

Wonderful experience. The hotel is run by a husband and wife team who were always present to answer any questions and provide tips on where to go and what to see. We were also presented with several options for breakfast. The guesthouse was very clean and is conveniently located at the edge of a woods, about 15 minutes drive away from inverness, and close to the whisky trail. We were a family of four, all of us were 100% satisfied with the service. Hope to be back.
