5 Gold Stars by Visit Scotland.
The Dulaig
Grantown on Spey
Highlands of Scotland
Affordable Five Gold Star bed and breakfast on the edge of a small highland town.
Also awarded the AA Breakfast Award.
The Dulaig is on the edge of the small Highland town of Grantown-on-Spey hidden away about 400 yards from the wide avenue high street where you can find everything from a good outdoor clothes shop to pubs, restaurants and cafés. It's a good base for exploring Speyside whisky distilleries, castles, and touring, climbing and walking in the Cairngorms.
The Spey is one of Scotland's most beautiful rivers and the town is on its gently sloping north bank. You can easily walk from The Dulaig down through ancient Anagach wood under Scots Pines with an underfloor of blaeberries to the water's edge. Birch and pine forests cover the hills to the Cairngorm mountains.
Rightly awarded 5 stars by the Scottish Tourist Board, Carol and Gordon Bulloch's home is surely one of the most welcoming, comfortable and rewarding places to stay in this part of Scotland. With an easy-going charm, Carol and Gordon's collection of fine Arts and Crafts furniture and objects are exactly appropriate for the 1910 date of the house, and with amazingly luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, views over the garden (Red Squirrels!) and spectacular breakfasts, everyone enjoys staying here.
Accommodation:
All three bedrooms look onto the garden and have luxury Vi-Spring mattresses with fine linens, satellite TV, DVD, silent mini fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer, fluffy towels and bathrobes, and luxury toiletries.
