Reception looks a bit of a dive but room was very comfortable and excellent value for money.
Manager was really helpful but other staff were all not bothered.
Food was good both in the evening and also for breakfast.

The restaurant menu and restaurant service was terrible. The staff barely speak English and are very inexperienced. The menu was parred back from the online version on which we based our decision to dine there. Front of house staff were very good.

An absolutely great place to get away from the monotony of everyday life
The countryside around provides plenty of peaceful walks, skiing is also available at the nearby Lecht Ski Centre, who manage to provide skiing even when there is very little snow about !
The Richmond Arms Hotel is the place to stay. Provides a great base with fantastic ownership, service, food and drink.

Even at the height of summer, be prepared with your layered wind and waterproofs. As long as you have the correct clothing, the fine views to the Cairngorms and village walks can be enjoyed fully. There is plenty of bird life to view. The gift shop and clock restaurant are well appointed and worth patronising.

Friendly village.
Friendly village. Lovely cafes and a wonderful gift shop Spendrift. I did some Christmas shopping there and it was only May!. Best bacon rolls ever at the cafe across the main road from the house. We ate out at the Richmond hotel which is dog friendly and we also had an excellent fish supper from a van which comes on a Tuesday late afternoon. There are lots of lovely walks around the village itself as well as others in the surrounding area which is beautiful . Ideal spot for a relaxing holiday.

Perfect location if you are wanting to explore the snow roads and the north east of scotland. We only stayed overnight so can't tell you a lot about the town but it was very pretty and in an excellent location.

Richmond Hotel also did excellent food.

Sadly The Clock Restaurant across the road is not currently open due to Covid restrictions. Having been to Tomintoul three times previously I can highly recommend the available accommodation and the location in general.
We hadn't been to Tomintoul and the area north of Deeside before, but it's a beautiful area - a little softer than the central Cairgorms and with many nice waymarked walks in the Glenlivet estate. The Annex is part of a main house, but we never heard a peep from the owners while we were there. They did however give us a friendly welcome. The apartment is newly decorated and well equipped, including practical items such as a blanket to cover the sofa to protect it from our dogs. It was a really nice place to stay.
Facilities in Tomintoul are somewhat limited and the potential of the place has not nearly been exploited. It was therefore great to stay at Gordon House, where everything you need is supplied without needing to even leave the premises. Bed, breakfast, evening meal, beer, wine …. and even Whisky tasting.
The food was excellent throughout, the rooms clean and comfortable and the company from the characters Les and John was a treat.
Historic inn in the highest village of Scotland. Lovely location, large room. Excellent dinner and breakfast! Martin (innkeeper) was friendly and the place was comfortable and cozy. Inn is on the square in Tomintoul but it is a quiet and peaceful village. Kept windows open the entire night and had no noise.
Location was convenient. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and it was very good. Food was delicious and reasonably priced (breakfast was included). Leah was our server for both. She was attentive, hard working, pleasant and friendly.
The property was exceptionally clean and a lovely mix of modern and traditional inside. I would thoroughly recommend booking. The photos really don’t do the property justice. Everything is really good quality. Tomintoul has some good places to eat and is a lovely, welcoming little town.
Beautiful spot on the edge of Tomintoul, this wee one bedroom accommodation was an ideal place to enjoy the village and the beauty of the surrounding area. The view from the well equipped cottage is glorious and facilities made our stay very comfortable.
I was in room7,would agree with other reviews that road noise was a problem.Food there was ok-nothing special but for £50 what do you expect…infact go across the road to the other pub/hotel and see what they are like!!!!
lovely guesthouse in Tomintoul with facilities around, cosy, spacious and clean rooms with a beautiful decoration, very friendly and helpful owners... Thank you for the pleasant stay :-)
The Argyle Guest House is a well run establishment with everything needed for a brief or extended stay. The rooms are spacious and well put together and the hostess is wonderful.
Everything about the place! The owner took time to introduce herself. The warmth of everyone attached to the hotel. Good room and nice bar for the evening meal and drinks!
Found this gem of a hotel last minute. Comfortable, charming inn. Had live music and a cooked breakfast, which exceeded my expectations.
