This place is an adorable bed and breakfast. Diana is communicative and accommodating, just message through the app and she answers immediately. They had a lil whisky waiting on arrival which was great because this is on the whisky trail. I would only suggest dealing with some upholstery stains on the cute furniture to have a flawless stay.

Deborah

Disliked: Staff & service
We received the most inhospitable greeting upon arrival. The choice of breakfast times were 0700, 0730, 0800 or 0830. We normally don’t like to set an alarm clock to have breakfast on vacation. You could feel the metal coils of the mattress poking you in bed. I would not stay here again. I’ve been to almost fifty countries and felt very unwelcome here.

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.
