The Garth Hotel was built in 1769, and through-out the years it has been an important cornerstone of Grantown-on-Spey. It began its time as a highland woollen mill, however has also been home to Queen Victoria's favourite author, and residence to the towns physicians and ministers. Now, we enjoy the property as it has been known for many years - a vibrant, relaxed hospitality environment.The Garth Hotel is perfectly placed; just a 2 minute walk to the museum, the town square, and the high street. The Craig Maclean leisure centre and the Grantown-on-Spey 18 hole golf course are both just a 5 minute walk from the Garth Hotel.

Two night weekend stay in the Garth and you will not be dissapointed. You can see there is on going up grading especially in the grounds but does not spoil your stay. Freindly and efficient staff, spotless rooms, very comfortable bed made the stay more enjoyable. Apart from being able to tile your bathroom with the breakfast bacon food was very good and plenty of it after a night in the Bar and Beer Garden. Located in the spotless wee town of Grantown on Spey a smashing base to explore the Cairngorm.

Just back from the Garth hotel. Had an excellent stay, room was lovely with coffee machine and Netflix on the telly. King size bed was so comfortable. Now the food which was the best tasting food we have had on our travels portions were great. Breakfast was superb only moan was portions were too much for us. But great value. Staff were great made sure our stay was brilliant. Would recommend the Garth hotel, me and the wife will definitely be back great base to see the area.

Ambled into the Garth, after seeking a dinner recommendation from the gal at the info centre in Grantown-On-Spey. This lovely looking gem is located at one end of the high street, and made me wish I had booked my accommodation here instead of a B&B at the opposite end of town. As I walked in, several gents who were behind me, asked if I was from the AA (I trust they meant Automobile Association and NOT Alcoholics Anonymous!).
I must have had a "no-nonsense" vibe going on. Passed a lovely 1/2 hour in the bar -all by ourselves- with heavenly sunshine streaming in. We "discovered" Bellhaven's Best to our delight. The time was most pleasant, marred only slightly by the weird radio station playing whiny country & western music in the background. Not that I was expecting bagpipes, fiddle music, jigs & reels mind you., its just that I didn't expect to find Elvis, Roy Orbison & Tammy Wynette alive & well in the CairnGorums!
The dining room decor is very classy & wonderfully appointed: tartan wall paper, stag horn wall sconces, dark wood tables & large comfy chairs, etc. It was obvious that this place was popular with locals as well. The meal was very good: piping hot carrot coriander soup, followed by the lamb with chili & mint sauce with mashed potatoes for him & the chicken breast stuffed with haggis on a bed of mashed potatoes for her, accompanied by a large side dish of veggies (boiled potato, cauliflower, green beans & carrots).
We decided to follow it with a yummy selection of Scottish cheeses & biscuits (& a handful of rather sad grapes -perhaps a couple of nice crisp apples would have been a better alternative?) All this was washed down with a big red juicy Barolo. We strolled back down the high street: warm, full & happy! All in all -a very good experience.:)!
