Location

Garth Hotel is located just a 2-minute walk from the local museum and the town square, providing easy access to the high street. Grantown-on-Spey 18-hole golf course and Craig Maclean Leisure Centre are within a 5-minute stroll. The hotel serves as a central hub for exploring various attractions in Badenoch and Strathspey.

Dining

1769, the on-site restaurant, focuses on using locally sourced produce to craft dishes with a Scottish twist. The Head Chef emphasizes celebrating Scottish culinary traditions through visually appealing meals. Guests can also enjoy a selection of Speyside malt whiskies and hand-pulled ales in the bar and beer garden.

Accommodations

The Garth Hotel offers 18 en-suite bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated to reflect charm and comfort. Some rooms provide views overlooking the famed Grantown-on-Spey square. There are dog-friendly options available, and several ground-floor rooms cater specifically to guests with limited mobility.

Unique Spaces

The Snug Room, which was previously the Boardroom, is now a flexible area for drinks, dining, or relaxing by an open fire. The hotel also features a fully refurbished cocktail bar for enjoying drinks. The Balcony Private Events Room can accommodate up to 40 guests for dining or meetings.

Sustainable Practices

The hotel prioritizes sustainable sourcing by maintaining relationships with local butchers and fishmongers. Fresh herbs used in the restaurant are grown in the hotel's organic gardens. This commitment showcases Scottish hospitality and environmental responsibility.

Highlights

Location: 2-minute walk to town square

Dining: On-site restaurant 1769 with local produce

Accommodations: 18 en-suite bedrooms

Unique Spaces: Snug Room with open fire

“The location is peaceful, close to Grantown Museum and the Cairngorms; however, some aspects require refreshing, especially the external paint job. The staff is friendly and accommodating, which is a definite plus; the cuisine, while not consistently exceptional, utilizes locally sourced ingredients, adding a touch of Scottish authenticity. I think with some modernization, it would be an ideal choice.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Garth Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the Garth Hotel's location, right on the edge of Grantown-on-Spey, making it easy to find. Many find the rooms large and comfortable, with nice additions such as mini-fridges, coffee machines with Nespresso pods, and, in some rooms, even a Christmas tree. The breakfast is generally considered good, with generous portion sizes, although some found the continental option limited. A beer garden adds to the appeal during nice weather, and some guests enjoyed visiting the reindeer at Cairngorm Woodlands nearby.

Comfortable Stay With Excellent Breakfast

The bedroom provided tea and coffee making facilities! The cooked breakfast included gluten-free options, very helpful. I also appreciated how hot the breakfast was served. It made a difference. There was a fridge in the room, a really useful amenity.
