Crubenbeg Country House

Great place! Amazing guesthouse and B&B with a great hostess, Annie. Our room was beautiful and very spacious.!

The Jewel in the Crown What an absolute diamond in Scotlands crown. We made the trip up in the hope that we might see the Aurora at some point, but alas it didn’t materialise whilst we were there and it now means we will definitely return until we do. That didn’t really matter in the end as our hosts made us so welcome that we really found it hard to leave, but know we will return and are sending our dates up as we type. Our room was spotless and extremely comfortable with all facilities you would want. Even though we came up in the colder weather our room was warm and cosy with views over the valley. Breakfast was amazing although I feel we have piled the pounds on and had to cut back a bit by the end of our stay. We had a special occasion whilst away and we asked Annie if we could have an evening meal cooked, to which we had a 3 course dinner which was really fantastic and the pudding topped with a candle as well. The log fire of an evening was really inviting in the guest lounge and spent every night sitting around it. This must be the only time away that we have not looked at the TV. The area and surrounds are really something to see and pictures cant do them justice. Some attractions are shut this time of year but a trip to Aviemore for some shopping or the Dalwhinnie distillery or even the Highland Nature reserve are really good places to go and makes for an enjoyable journey. Our hosts pointed out an eatery in the next village that you probably might not have gone to, as is a transport café

This is not to be missed when visiting Scotland. Seriously...detour if necessary but stay here. Annie was lovely. The bedroom (Pine Marten) was huge and perfect for our dogs; easy access to the car to unload and easy access to the outside. The room was beautiful with red squirrels scampering up the pines right outside our windows. The lounge was a great space to relax of an evening. Warm fire, cosy sofa and whisky available. (Husband was delighted). Breakfast was special...have the porridge with whisky and cream. You won't need lunch. We watched all sorts of birds including a woodpecker each morning whilst eating breakfast. Straight from the house we walked down to the Falls of Truim and along before returning to the field below the house and further still, reaching the river. Loads of walks straight out of your door. I can't recommend this enough. We wandered about the season to visit (had we left it too,late, would it be cold, wet etc) It was perfect with lots of autumn colour and despite the forecast rain we had sunshine and clear skies with snow on the mountains. It really was a fabulous place to stay, a really luxurious comfortable country house. You won't regret it.
