We had high hopes for Haus Alba having read their wonderful reviews and I must say it did not disappoint, only excelled! Beate and David were outstanding hosts. Kind, knowledgeable and welcoming, it was a pleasure to spend the morning chatting with them. Our room was beautifully decorated, adorned with matching items which gave the room a 'home away from home' feel. A cosy bed and a wee welcome dram of whiskey - what more can you want? ||David and Beate, we thank you. Unfortunately we did not have time for David's excellent tours - but who knows? For there will certainly be a next time. The Welshies will return!

David and Beate are super nice hosts. The room I got was very big, super clean and had all the things you want. The small whisky to try was a very kind surprise. David gave me info on the town and where to get food etc. The breakfast was lovely. Had the salmon with eggs. Beate really made sure I got all I need for the start in the day.

What a wonderful place to choose as your base to discover the Highlands. David and Beate are the most fabulous and kind hosts who just throw open the doors to their home at the heart of in Grantown-on-Spey.

Both are always to hand with recommendations and tips if you want to do your own thing, but you're best off to put yourself into David's very capable hands as a whisky and/or hiking tour guide. He is full of knowledge (both on the whisky front and the local area) and he'll take you to places off the beaten track - so you simply can't go wrong with him.

We've thoroughly enjoyed our time at Haus Alba.

A long overdue review of this property and it's hosts .
Stayed with them at the tail end of last year while up working in the area.
Long days travel, snow landing and a late finish at a local site.
Checked in with a very warm welcome and friendly host.
Was given the run down of the accommodation, shown to my room and left to unwind.
Superb character of house and lovely setting with some good home comforts.
Local knowledge was excellent, brilliant chatting over breakfast as I was the only guest at the time for very well presented and delicious breakfast, almost spoiled for choice with hot and cold offerings.
Would love to come back someday and try another pie and beans from a little gem of a place round the corner ( recommended local pub).

Much appreciated for your hospitality.
All the best

Absolutely wonderful. David and Beate are just wonderful hosts. We originally booked a day trip tour with David for whisky tastings and due to re-scheduling we needed an additional night accommodation and fortunately David and Beate had availability. Both of us couples stayed at their home and they made us feel totally at home. The rooms were very comfortable and most definitely clean. Breakfast was yummy. It is too bad that we didn't have a few more nights! We will most definitely stay with David and Beate again.||David has so much knowledge of whisky and we could not ask for a better host to take us around to all the whisky tastings throughout the day.||We will be back and look to seeing David and Beate again.||Judy and group||

You could not ask for more gracious, thoughtful and welcoming hosts! Haus Alba truly stands out as the most hospitable, cozy and conveniently located place to stay in the Highlands. A true Scottish Gem and make sure to book a hike with David. The most outstanding and knowledgeable hiker I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

My son and I went to Scotland for a weekend experience.||It didn't dissapoint. ||David collected us from the airport and proceeded to host us around the speyside, visiting whisky distilleries throughout the day.||His knowledge of the local area and whisky is second to none. ||We arrived at Haus Alba late afternoon. The house is lovely, clean, spacious and is steeped in Scottish history and character. ||David and Beate are amazing hosts and nothing is too much.||The Scottish breakfast was a great start to our 2nd day prior to being guided by David up onto the snow line in the Cairngorms. This is truly magical and the pictures don't do it justice.||That evening we were hosted by David for a whisky tasting of some special single malts, this is a must!||My son and I had a fantastic weekend and memories that will last a lifetime. ||Thanks to David and Beate for being such great hosts.||We will be back for sure.||Scott & Kyle Henderson|

We would recommend staying at Haus Alba to everyone. We were here for 3 nights and David and Beate are great friendly people who do a lovely breakfast. On our last day David took the 4 of us out on a whisky tasting tour plus we visited a few lovely sights along the way. David was really informative about whisky and the area. I'm also grateful to him for looking out for my mom, Lynda Lou who isn't that mobile these days. Beate and David are just wonderful hosts who made sure we all enjoyed our stay.
