“Friendly and accommodating”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

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 rely on the local knowledge of Ann who seems to know where to go to see the species we are looking for. That makes our trips really worthwhile. Having visited a few times now the service never slips and nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation is always spotlessly clean, and the breakfast is a great start to the day. We usually go out very early and come back near 8am for a good feed.

If you are looking to see wildlife in the area, then this is an ideal place with great local knowledge to draw on.

“Thunder in the Glen”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

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!

“Speyside Way walkers”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

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!

“Excellent value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

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.

“Great accommodation ,great hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

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 tourist location.I would have no hesitation in recommending Willowbank Guest House to any visitor.Well done Anne & Chris.Thank you.

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
