We appreciated additional touches such as complimentary dram of whisky left in our room. Nothing

- Ann-Charlotte (10/5): troligtvis bästa stället i Grantham-on spey. - Vi bodde på B&B i tre nätter nu i juni 2025 och vi kan starkt rekommendera detta ställe. Så omtänksamt i varje detalj. Supergod frukost och väldigt rent. Vi bodde i Henderson rummet som var så trevligt med ett härligt badrum.
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -

- Amanda (10/5): Wonderful - Gorgeous property, Beautiful room and bathroom. Lovely breakfast and very friendly landlady. Highly recommended Nothing
- Spagnol (10/5): Exceptional - We had the pleasure of staying at several locations during our holiday in Scotland, most of which were lovely. However, what made this particular stay truly stand out was the fact that we felt like royalty from the moment we arrived. The attention to detail, the warm hospitality, and the overall experience were exceptional.
If there were a Michelin star for B&Bs, this place would certainly deserve one. It far exceeded our expectations and made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!
- Vicki (10/5): Perfection - We stayed in the upstairs self-catering apartment. The house is beautiful. The apartment is georgious, with very thoughtful details and everything one could need in kitchen, down to a toast rack. The living/dining/kitchen is much bigger that it looks in photos. The bedrooms are very large. The bathtub is super comfy. Towels are nice and big, even had robes. House is spotlessly clean. Hosts are very gracious. Karen was kind enough to add us to breakfast a few days fir a small fee, even though that isn't part of the self-catering package. Her breakfasts are not to be missed. There is a dishwasher, washer, fridge, freezer and a drying rack for clothes. Radiator heat in every room. Beautiful views from every window. A supply of breakfast items, coffee, tea, etc. I have been trying to plan our next trip so we can stay again. Don't miss Feast Tulchan, we'll worth the cost for food, service and view. All was perfect.
- Denis (10/5): This is a gem!!! - Lovely hosts, beautiful building, exceptionally clean and comfortable!
Highly recommend for bikers as well!!!
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - Bathroom and Bathtub were great. All the furniture and fittings top quality. Fantastic attention to detail both in decoration,furnishings and Room amenity. Breakfast table beautifully setup in a lovely location of the house. Thank you again for a marvelous stay. Nothing.
- Michelle (8/5): Beautiful clean B&B - Incredibly clean Personal taste but didn’t like sharing a breakfast table with other guests
- Criskay (10/5): Exceptional - The high quality of the rooms and the extraordinary beautiful view to the front lawn from the breakfast table. We also liked the variety of choices offered for the breakfast. We liked everything and cannot find any fault.
- Kasia (10/5): Cozy and welcoming place to stay. - It’s cozy, well maintained, Karen is super friendly and welcoming. It really felt like home and it’s quite private. We had self catering apartment and it had all we needed. Nothing major to complain about.
- Paul (10/5): Strongly recommend a stay at Mount Barker - If Mount Barker were a hotel, it would be 5-star. The room and premises were immaculate. Breakfast was the best we have had in years of travelling. Karen and Alick were wonderful hosts and provided many suggestions of things to do in the local area.
- Rosalind (10/5): Wonderful, would not hesitate to stay again and have already recommended Mount Barker. - House was beautifully appointed. 5+ stars for everything.
Bed was so comfy, All the linen, bath towels and robes were luxurious.
The menu for breakfast was fabulous and we were so well looked after. The fact we couldn't stay another few nights but we had to
travel back home !!
- Got2beplatinum (10/5): Exceptional - Owner was very accommodating, the breakfast was delicious, the room was beautiful 🤩 The bed was very soft - maybe a new mattress would be good.
- Emily (10/5): - Absolutely magnificent property and owner! Wonderful breakfast and the town is so lovely, so many things to do and near to everything in the Highlands (whiskey, gin tours, hiking)! Definitely stay here!
- Michael (10/5): Wonderful and very beautiful - Beautiful house. Location on Grantown on Spey is great for exploring the Cairngorms. Karen, the host, is very welcoming and her breakfasts are wonderful. Room was spacious and the bed was very comfy.
- Elspeth (10/5): Best home away from home in Grantown. - Hosts Karen and Alick were very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable about the area and Scotland in general. The self catering apartment on the top floor (41 steps in the stairs) had everything we needed and more, and our hosts kindly supplied bread, milk and eggs to get us started. The house has been impeccably restored to its former glory and is welcoming as a home away from home. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a luxury stay in Grantown and I would definitely stay there again. We didn’t get to experience the breakfast, but it smelled wonderful. One needs to be physically capable of climbing the 41 stairs to top floor if booking the self catering flat.
- Sharelle (10/5): Spacious well equipped apartment with friendly hosts. Excellent - Location was quiet but a short stroll to shops
- Matthew (9/5): Warm hospitality! - Enjoyed our stay at Mount Barker - a comfortable home base to allow us to explore Lochness and do walks in the Cairngorms. Karen and her guests made for enjoyable conversations over breakfast and when arriving back in the evening.
- John (9/5): Enjoyable - Not applicable
- John (10/5): Fantastic hosts,and premises . - The location was ideal,just a short walk to the high street of Grantown-On-Spey,with lots of
Interesting places to drive to nearby.

our room and large bathroom had everything we needed,and was really beautifully furnished. There was nothing my wife and I didn’t like about here,I would certainly recommend you give
Mount Barker a visit.
- Julie (9/5): Would stay again. - The room was very well set up- there was a private lounge area with a log fire and the offer of a whisky. Breakfast was delicious. A great place to play cards and catch up
- Patrick (9/5): Beautiful Accommodation in a Lovely Setting. - Lovely property in a great central location for visiting the whisky trail and local walks. Accommodation was very clean with a lovely personal touch. The extra provisions, bread, eggs, etc were also very welcome N/A. All good.
- Johnag17 (9/5): Superb -
- Tina (10/5): Lovely home, delightful room, fab breakfast, welcoming hosts in Speyside/Trossachs area - The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the bathroom itself was fabulous, with a tub and lovely shower. The hosts welcomed us, provided a sitting room downstairs where a terrific and beautiful breakfast was served, and recommendations for food and activities. One of us was not feeling well one day and we had a quiet day in our room which was lovely to cozy up in. The only thing that interfered in complete happiness was a highly scented jar of incense sticks - once I located it the hosts spirited it away.
- Anne (9/5): A very tastefully decorated home where we were made most welcome. Bed was very comfortable too. - Location was excellent and very easy to find. Set in beautiful surrounding scenery and the town had good selection of places to eat dinner. Breakfast was very good, cooked when required with good selection to choose from

- Joseph (10/5): Excellent- would definitely recommend and hope to return - Everything. Welcoming hosts, spacious rooms with lovely furnishings. A beautiful house close to central Grantown, a short drive away from many things to see in the Cairngorms and Speyside. Apartment had all the necessary essentials plus quite a few extra features which made it a pleasure to stay there. Nothing negative to say. Couldn't comment on breakfast as we were in the apartment - although I'm sure it would have been great!

- David (10/5): Exceptional -

Easy walk to restaurants, shops and other facilities in this lovely small town.
Probably the best to order breakfast we have had at a bed and breakfast.
Huge ensuite bedroom and very comfortable v huge bed! Nothing
- Enza (10/5): We'll be back for sure - Perfect location to explore the Speyside area. Our room was simply amazing, big, comfortable and with an amazing bathroom, which had both a shower and a bathtub. The entire place has a lovely fancy countryside touch. The breakfast is delicious. The host is also lovely. We had great chats in the mornings and she also gave us great reccomendations on what to do around the area. Highly recommend! Nothing at all
- Caroline (8/5): Lovely B&B, great location for exploring Speyside - Nice big bedroom and bathroom, tastefully decorated. Very tasty breakfast and good hosts who looked after us well & clearly looked after their property. Handy location in walking distance of restaurants and shops & great for exploring the Cairngorms & Speyside distilleries! Bed slightly soft for our taste and even though it was early May, had to put the heating on in the room as we were very cold! We would always treat a B&B as we would our own home, but the laying down of 'house rules' on arrival wasn't the most friendly introduction ...maybe other guests haven't been as respectful in the past?
- Gary (10/5): High end B&B - High end B&B. Good off road parking. Excellent breakfasts. Large rooms with very comfortable bed.
hosts were helpful and friendly

- Farid (9/5): great location, rooms and host -
- Susan (9/5): A wonderful few days away. Excellent location as a base to discover the countryside & attractions - Wonderful choice for breakfast and cooked breakfast came quickly and beautifully cooked. A little bit too much furniture in the room.
- Tony (10/5): Wonderfully warm welcome and attention to every conceivable need from Karen. Sublimely faultless. - Everything was superb. Karen pays such meticulous attention to detail. Beautiful building inside and out and the warmest welcome. Particularly the advance notice of places to eat and places to see. Quite faultless. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place and would certainly seek to stay there again when in the area. Nothing at all within their control.
