Myself and five other friends stayed here over New Years and we could not fault the place in any way. Staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help every time. Cleanliness of the bedrooms and bathrooms were of an extremely high standard. Breakfast in the mornings offered a wide range of pastries, cereals, fruit and cooked... More

We found our stay at Alba Hills Quest Home most enjoyable. Itziar was a treasure and a great hostess(pleasant ,helpful & very eager to please). Breakfast was delicious and the accommodations very pleasing. Had a slight problem with our shower but dealt with immediately. Bed was very comfortable and room very clean. Our first trip to Scotland and our stay... More

Having read some of the previous reviews (under old ownership) and having read the latest reviews (under new management), we were absolutely delighted with our three day stay here. Not only were the staff very friendly and whom always made you very welcome - nothing requested was too much of an annoyance to them - and the room and breakfast... More

When we stayed here in September last year we were shouted at when we asked where to park. Got given a triple room when we'd booked a double, but apparently it's first come first served!! Got told to leave the breakfast table at exactly 9am when we had only sat down at 8:50 because there weren't enough tables for everyone.... More

Thank you very much for your comments; we have heard so much about the old business and nothing good and after seeing the state of the rooms and facilities on the day we had the keys we understood all the complains. There is still so much to be done, upgrade and redecorate but we are doing our best and little... More

We arrived to a very friendly welcome but had to park a few streets away as there were only three parking spaces. The room was really too small but was clean and well presented. The 'en suite' was basically a cupboard built into the room but did serve it's purpose - the shower was a good size which was welcomed... More
