We stayed at this property after attending the Braemar Gathering. The property was easy to find and there were a few good dining options within walking distance. Diana was an excellent hostess and provided a hardy breakfast in the morning.

Cosy room, a warm welcome, great location.

Thi is a little gem in a wonderful village in the Highlands with a good choice of restaurants close by. The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming. Not only was the room was well-appointed and spacious with everything you need, it was also very charming and cosy…a real home from home. The breakfast was excellent - fresh and plentiful and the homemade bread was some of the best we have ever had - we were even given the recipe….Our dog was welcome and you could step outside the door with restaurants only a few meters away. This place was one of the highlights of our stay and couldn’t have been better.

A little piece of heaven

Argyle guest House is situated in a small friendly village right on the doorstep of the beautiful Cairngorms. Steve & Diane are fabulous hosts, with plenty of local knowledge and information. Our room was absolutely amazing. Comfy king size bed, seating area & large en-suite bathroom, with shower over bath. The room had everything we needed with some added little touches like Bubble-bath, Hand Lotion, & some lovely scented hand soap. The village has a local pub with friendly staff and great food. There is also a village shop with all your essentials and more. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. 10/10.
