“Very good hospitality and really excellent food, all at a price.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2009

We two couples stayed with Michael and Gwen Stewart for two nights. The Pines is an old fashioned carpetted, decorated, and furnished place with a sumptuous ambiance. They have tried to keep it like a Scottish hunting lodge, but it seemed a bit dark and not well it.
Nice lounges, with a big screen and Sky TV downstairs, and a stately home type of lounge full of terrific paintings upstairs. Pre dinner drinks served downstairs and after dinner coffees served upstairs. The whole place is full of really good art and artifacts. Our room was comfortable and pleasant enough, good shower over the bath. Gwen does the cooking and she is an outstanding cook. Really excellent, imaginative food. A daily changing single menu. Very excellent breakfasts with real fresh orange juice, home made bread and toast ,and overnight cooked porridge, all the very best. Care is taken, we discovered, to source the food ingredients: they go some distance to get supplies that are the best. Micheal was very attentive, chatty, and friendly. There is a nice large garden from where you can walk off into the woods or down to the river about 250 yards away. Very expensive at about £200 a room a night Dinner, B&B, but with a super host in Michael; we did not see Gwen other than at arriving and departing but she must have been a very busy lady as they do not have any other staff now.

“A truly great breakfast!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2007

people found this review helpful

Booked a twin and two singles on a B/B basis, for one night, as we were dining at the Glass House (a great restaurant).
Well received by Michael, and shown our rooms.
Good quality bed linen and pillows
Quiet and safe location, but within easy walking distance of the town centre.
The breakfast is excellent (The Swiss, American and English fellow guests all thought the same)
Probably one of the best places to stay in Grantown, which is well placed for Speyside

“What a wonderful experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2006

people found this review helpful

We recently spent three nights at this lovely guesthouse in the Highlands and were very impressed. It is on a quiet street and boasts a lovely garden and plenty of parking. The owners were charming and as helpful as they could be. They have restored this beautiful property themselves and have chosen lots of antiques and interesting artwork to give it a comfortable yet elegant feel. We arrived late for our dinner reservations and they were most gracious. Dinner was excellent, albeit rather expensive. Our rooms were very nicely appointed and the bathrooms were also very nice. Breakfast in the sunroom was wonderful and the oatmeal was a real highlight. We had use of both a comfortable lounge as well as the living room to play cards and to enjoy a scotch in front of the fire at the end of the day. We really enjoyed Mike and his wife and appreciated the care they took to make our stay a pleasant one. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse to anyone.

  • Liked — The beautiful furnishings and terrific breakfasts
  • Disliked — Dinners rather expensive
  • Tips/Secrets — They have discreet signage so it can be difficult to find at night
