Situated in Newtonmore and only 7.1 km from Newtonmore Golf Club, Glentruim Homestay B&B and Glamping Pods features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Kingussie Golf Club is 12 km away and Highland Wildlife Park is 18 km from the homestay. We had an amazing stay at Glentruim Homestay, the only problem is that we only booked it for two nights, wish we haded for a week. The house is lovely. They have an amazing kitchen and an absolute adorable dog! The breakfast is simple but tasty with muffin bread ( it's not sweet ). Peaceful location, we highly recommend it!

Set in Grantown on Spey and only less than 1 km from Grantown Museum, Brooklynn Guest House offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. It is situated 8.5 km from Abernethy Golf Club and provides room service. We spent three nights at this amazing guesthouse, and it was a truly delightful experience. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly clean. It really felt like a home away from home. The breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. Every morning, we could choose from an extensive menu, allowing us to try something different each day. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The host was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. She provided us with many useful tips about the local area, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The shared living room and garden were also great additions, giving us a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. Moreover, the location was perfect—centrally located, making it easy to access all the attractions and activities in the area. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay. We will definitely return if we're in the area again! ---
