Brooklynn Guest House

Genuinely can't fault anything about our stay at Brooklyn B&B. Shona is a fantastic host and went out of her way to make us both welcome. The breakfast was exemplary (my girlfriend is vegan and had the best B&B breakfast experience thanks to Shona).

Had I have known how traditional and not contemporary this place was I wouldn’t have booked it. There was an overwhelming smell of damp wood through out the downstairs which sadly continued on into the rooms, the bathroom however was fabulously modern and it’s a shame they couldn’t carry some of that into the room, I appreciate wanting to maintain character but some modernity would be appreciated. The owner was a lovely lady who raved about her home grown fruits and how she makes everything herself and then we got banana muffins at breakfast, whilst I’m sure they were lovely it seemed a shame not to use the fruits she was so proud of, speaking of breakfast, it was a very dry affair, no baked beans on offer and when I asked for ketchup I was met with a “no she’s not got any left” from the lady (not the owner) who was serving us, for me I would assume that as breakfast is the only meal you’re serving then having both condiments available should be a guarantee when you know you have guests staying! Plus just add a little bit of music into the breakfast room, there was us and one man in there on his own, it was so awfully silent that it felt very awkward to make conversation between ourselves and we ended up whispering. All in all I personally wouldn’t stay again but if traditional properties are your thing then you’ll feel right at home!

Eventhough we arrived late we were warmly greeted by Shona who showed us to our nice, clean and comfortable room with a modern en-suite. As Scandinavians we are not used to double duvets but it was big enough so as to not be an issue. We ordered our breakfast in the evening and it was fresh made every morning with homegrown berries and local produce. The full Scottish set us up for the day. We will look to book here next time we are in Grantown.

A lovely traditional bed and breakfast. A really warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. Grantown on Spey is a really lovely little town and the centre a couple of minutes walk from centre. Very nice comfortable room, good breakfast and lovely fresh muffins every morning which you can take with you for the day, which was a lovely touch.
