This was not my first stay at Willowbank and will certainly not be my last. Chris and Anne are extremely friendly and have a fantastic attitude. They are extremely knowledgable about the local area which is very advantageous for people visiting the area. The rooms are very clean and tidy and the breakfasts are amazing! Thanks again (See you again... More

Pretty B&B in old stone-house. Good breakfast. Internet did not work in our room. Charged two and half percent for payment by (foreign) debit-card which was not experienced anywhere else among the five hotels we visited during our two week summer holiday in Scotland.leasant staff and host.

Thanks for taking time to make the review. We do not charge for debit card payments where the card is drawn on a UK bank. Due to the charges imposed by banks for ALL cards except UK bank cards, we do make a 2% charge, which is less than the 3% we have to pay to accept your card. That... More

I have just returned from my latest stay at the Willowbank and as stated by others Chris and Anne are so accommodating and friendly. This year I traveled with my elderly mother who was overwhelmed by their hospitality. Grantown on Spey is ideally situated to explore the highlands and Cairngorns and itself is a beautiful location with amazing woodlands and... More

We found Willowbank to be the perfect "hub" for day trips out into the Highlands. We visited several distilleries and nature centers during our 5 night stay. Anne was very helpful with evening dinner reservations and any other questions we had about the area. We enjoyed having the lounge for our evening visits and planning our next day's excursion.

We were last at Willowbank in Grantown in September and this is the first time I have thought to leave my thoughts. The guest house is run by Ann and Chris who have really become our friends over the years. We usually go to area in spring and autumn to see specific wildlife with a small group. We can always...

This was our second time of staying at the Willowbank guest house for the Thunder in the Glen Rally. Anne and Chris are the perfect hosts, lovely clean accomodation and beautiful breakfasts and if you've got a bike there's shelter for that as well! Thoroughly recommended!

Arrived very tired after a long walk from Ballindalloch and were warmly welcomed. It was very comfortable and the breakfast was good. Perhaps it should be pointed out that the door to the en-suite in our room was glazed with no privacy curtain...might not suit some!

Thanks for the response. I assume you were the 2 walkers who phoned at about 7pm in the evening to say that you were still 3 miles away, and whom I drove to collect. The room that you stayed in does have a glazed panel in the en-suite, but you may remember that the glass is opaque with a frosted... More

Arrived fairly late in the day and left straight after breakfast the following morning, so only had a limited experience of Willowbank. However, I found the owners friendly and helpful, the bed comfortable and the breakfast was plentiful and well cooked. At £30pppn including free wi-fi, I feel the Willowbank provides excellent value for money.

Willowbank Guest House Anne & Chris were obliging and friendly hosts.The rooms were very clean and well maintained. We appreciated the little things like extra blankets if required and that little triangle shelf in the bathroom, ideal for bits and pieces.I would suggest only one slight improvement , add an extra pillow. The accommodation was also very reasonable considering the... More

Thanks for the review, and we are pleased you were pleased! We keep the extra pillows in the zipped, clear, hygenic protectors in the wardrobe! I know they may look like white quilts - but they are pillows. Thanks again and hope to see you back soon More

Thanks for the kind words - birthday cake at breakfast was a great treat for us too! You are right we do have 2 ground floor rooms available for guests with mobility issues. We were not aware of your mobility when you made the reservation, only when you informed us on your final day. We do always try to allocate... More
