Set in Tomintoul, 43 km from Balmoral Castle and 16 km from Corgarff Castle, Argyle Guest House offers accommodation with free WiFi in a historic building. The 3-star guest house has mountain views and is 23 km from Abernethy Golf Club. The guest house features family rooms. We had such a great stay here! The room was really comfortable, with everything we needed to relax after a long day. The whole place has a warm and cozy vibe that makes you feel at home right away. Breakfast was a real treat – fresh, tasty, and with plenty of options to start the day right. What really stood out, though, was the hosts. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about making the stay perfect. Little details, like taking time for a chat and giving tips about the area, made all the difference. We left feeling rested, well-fed, and very well taken care of. We would happily recommend this place to anyone, and we are already looking forward to coming back!
