I would just like to start off by saying that we are the young couple from Niddrie, Edinburgh and that we did NOT write the previous bad review.

Arriving at the guesthouse we were pleased with the location and the room. The reason our stay was unpleasant was because on our second after arriving back to the guest house after a nice walk in the woods after breakfast we were greeted by shouting coming from upstairs but didn't think anything of it. Whilst taking my boots off at the front door (as they were muddy and I didnt want to make a mess of the carpet), a woman who we had not seen in our time at the guest house came running down the stairs raising her voice demanding our key back. We had no idea what was going on and after following her back up the stairs discovered that all our things were lying in the hallway not even packed away properly. She then started saying that we were getting thrown out for smoking in our room. I was absolutely livid! I tried explaining that we have more respect for people than that! And that we were NOT smoking in our room. But she didn't want to hear it. She then went onto say that it must have been off our breath and that our clothes that were on the bed didn't smell of smoke. So who knows how the room could smell of smoke but not the clothes that we had been wearing? We had asked if necessary, could we go out after midnight for a cigarette, which we didn't need to as we were sleeping by this time. Anyway, by the time we left aviemore I was more upset than angry, I have never been treated like this from anyone and think it's absolutely disgusting to treat someone this way! I think that before you go blaming someone for something you should have proof as we did not smoke in the room and I think that if you really thought that we had you would have charged us for the 2 days of business lost!

We had the pleasure to stay at the Strathspey House in April and we absolutely enjoyed every single aspect of our experience. I rarely give excellent reviews but this place absolutely deserves it. It is indeed very hard to find anything to complain about - tastefully decorated rooms cleaned on a daily basis, excellent breakfast (with some very good variety), and extremely helpful staff happy to answer any question and provide useful information about the local area. In addition, the fact that you can use the facilities of the nearby Dalfaber Golf and Country Club is certainly a plus. In fact, from the hair dryer to the complimentary hospitality tray provided you could see that the hosts had thought about every single detail and nothing was missing. We really liked the personal touch of this 4 star B&B and would warmly recommend Strathspey House to anyone considering going to Aviemore.

Have visited this establishment on numerous occasions and found it without fault.Very welcoming and Glen and Fiona are very helpfull with things to do and walks etc in the area.It is an absolutely spotless guesthouse and frankly one can only presume the previous reviewer has reviewed the wrong guesthouse! My advice is to read all the reviews which are a true reflection and we shall most certainly be booking again.

I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy, the staff were extremely rude. The service was poor and disorganized. The rooms are average and not value for money.
