Housed in a historic building, Balsporran Bed and Breakfast provides accommodation with water sports facilities and free WiFi in Dalwhinnie, 32 km from Blair Castle. The property features mountain views and is 23 km from Newtonmore Golf Club and 24 km from Highland Folk Museum. The accommodation offers bicycle parking and a shared lounge for guests.

Just a great bed and breakfast in the hills, off the A9. Perfect for doing walks nearby. Cosy guest lounge for relaxing at night. Hosts can provide all meals. Meals are excellent, all plant based, but so tasty and filling, you don't even miss the meat. Breakfasts is a feast at the main table shared with the other guests. One of the top bed and breakfasts in Scotland by far.

Set in Dalwhinnie, 38 km from Blair Castle, Dalwhinnie Old School Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is located 18 km from Newtonmore Golf Club, 19 km from Highland Folk Museum and 22 km from Ruthven Barracks. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

We have had bad experiences before with relation to some hostels, so we were a bit nervous about staying in another, well all I can say is THIS IS NO ORDINARY HOSTEL! It is exceptionally clean, and organised. The host, (shame we disturbed his dinner with our arrival time, but he said its common occurence! haha) was wonderful and informative. He runs a brilliant establishment. The kitchen was organised and very clean, which also comes down to the other people staying there as everyone cleans up thoroughly after themselves. The same can be said for the bathrooms and toilet facilities (there are multiple of them, so no shotage/or waiting to use a bathroom), they were very clean, and all you need to tidy up after yourself is right there for you. The bedroom we stayed in was a double bed, with a single bed as well. It was spacious enough, all we needed for the 1 night stay. I am personally a 'firm mattress' sleeper, so the mattress was ok and I slept fair, but I did have to put the single bed duvet on it to cushion the springs. The bed linen was clean and smelt clean and fresh. I have recommended the hostel to every other motorcycle rider that we met along our journey through Scotland, and they will hopefully have the oportunity to stay in the gorgeous hostel. Ps: The train station is right there across the road, and I think that is just fabulous for walkers or hikers or even cyclists. Right handy!

Creag-na-Sanais, a property with a garden, is set in Laggan, 13 km from Newtonmore Golf Club, 15 km from Highland Folk Museum, as well as 18 km from Ruthven Barracks. The property is around 19 km from Kingussie Golf Club, 24 km from Highland Wildlife Park and 47 km from Blair Atholl Golf Club. The property is non-smoking and is situated 46 km from Blair Castle.

This is an exceptionally comfortable, spacious and welcoming property. It is warm and well-furnished. Fixtures and fittings all of a high standard and work well. Great views across the surrounding farmland and then into the hills, and big windows to enjoy them! Helpful host met me with complimentary milk and cakes. Well-organised, explanatory notes around the place. Good wifi, certainly for such a remote location. Good shower, excellent bed. A bunch of acrobatic pied wagtails cavort around the cottage. The geographical 'centre of Scotland' is a couple of miles along the Glen Truim road towards Newtonmore, marked by a big cairn and signage.

What a great stay! The fact that pizza’s were prepared especially for us was very kind. We were picked up and dropped off the next day by Stevie. His tips were excellent. It saved us from hiking a very wet trail.

    The location was stunning since we could see the mountains from the window. Also, next to the train station which is very handy. The staff was welcoming and very friendly, he had a fire that kept going and it was the best treat after 6-8 hour hike around the lake and mountains. The place was very cosy and comfy, and very clean .We also made friends of two very friendly cats.
