Reviews for Strathallan Bed and Breakfast
Review 1:Loved our stay. Isla sent us off with several suggestions for sights in the area...so many that we hadn't earlier considered, but ones we enjoyed so much that we didn't mind not seeing everything on our list. She and Spencer run a very inviting B&B. We didn't need to look far for a corkscrew or wineglasses as she already had them set out for us in the sitting room. I can't fail to mention Isla's homemade shortbread, the best we've ever tasted!
Review 2:I loved the decor in this place; modern and clean with a traditional Scottish feel. It was stylish and full of character. There has been such care and attention to detail in creating an exceptional bed and breakfast. I think the rate was very reasonable and would have happily paid more for such a high quality stay.

Review 31:The beautiful tasteful room with rocking chairs and small table overlooking Grantown, the central location a stone's throw from the centre but very quiet, the full Scottish breakfast (to die for!) with freshly laid Strathallan eggs, the facilities (tassimo coffee machine in the room with lovely big china mugs was a brilliant touch), homemade shortbread (the best I have tasted) and the lovely hosts Isla and Spencer who looked after everything.... We absolutely loved it and will be booking again soon!

Review 101:Everything. The whole experience was a pleasure.
Review 102:Owners were so friendly & helpful. Lovely place to stay.
Review 103:The quintessentially perfect place to stay in a quintessentially perfect Scottish town. Illa and her husband Spenser and "fountain of knowledge" mom, Margaret, were engaging, concerned about our every need and desire, and made us feel totally welcome. Our trip was greatly enhanced by tidbits about where to go ( a wonderful local pub) and what to see (the nearby wild osprey observatory) offered over a delicious breakfast. A highlight of our two week road tour of Scotland. And who could resist a town called "Grantown-on-Spey"?
Review 104:We had two rooms, and both were more than expected. King size beds were great to have! The lady of the house, Isla, runs the best B&B we have ever been in. Enjoyed our entire visit with her and husband Spencer. We had to leave very early on second day, and Isla made sure we had breakfast even though well before regular time.
