B&B near Newtonmore, Cairngorms Highlands
This is the main house, with Maria and Robert on hand. Rooms across two floors, each made up properly with good linen and a TV with streaming. A light continental breakfast is laid out in the kitchen every morning between 07:30 and 10:00.
Two rooms have their own en-suite shower rooms. Two share a modern shower-room across the hall — that's the trade for a lower rate and the same warm welcome. All rooms have access to the shared guest kitchen (until 9pm) — a rare perk for a B&B, and useful if you're in for an early start on the hill. The sun-room looks out over the surrounding hills.
Rooms are booked individually. If you'd like the whole house for a group, email us and we'll sort it.
The bird feeders are at the kitchen window, and the Forest Double is the room guests name for watching the red squirrels. The dog is a sprocker spaniel called Furgus (not allowed in the bedrooms).

★★★★★"Our host was very nice, responsive and helpful. The surrounding area is lovely and a close enough drive for food and amenities. We recommend bringing earplugs as the bathroom and front door noise does come right through the walls to this room. There is no way to lock your room from the outside for security of your things during the day. Overall the house was very nice and suited our needs."
★★★★★"An absolute gem of a home! Easy to find, a gorgeous location, clean with comfy beds, and the most stunning sunroom. Incredible value for the price and we would absolutely return! Thank you"
★★★★★"The guesthouse is such a fantastic place to operate from as a home base, Robert and Maria really make it feel like it’s your home while you stay. I loved my visit, and there’s so much to explore nearby that I can’t wait to return!"

Frequently asked questions
- Where do I park?
- Parking is free, with one marked space for each room and pod. B&B guests: please park in one of the four marked spaces by the house when you arrive. Pod guests: follow the "Glamping Pods" signs (a blue P sign with an arrow) to the pods' own parking area, which has two marked spaces, one for each pod. From there, the Muckle Meadow Pod is a 60-metre walk up a grass slope behind the stable, and the Cosy Coorie Pod is about 30 metres along a gravel path. Bringing a second car? It's rare, but just let us know in advance.
- What time is check-out?
- Check-out is by 10am for all our rooms and pods. Please be ready to leave by then so we can get things ready for the next guests.
- Is breakfast included?
- Yes. A Light Continental breakfast is included with every B&B booking.
- Which rooms have an en-suite bathroom?
- The Spacious King Room and the King Room with Sofa both have en-suite shower rooms. The Forest Double and the Garden Double share a modern shower-room across or down the hall. Only those two rooms use it.
- Can I use the kitchen?
- Yes. All B&B guests are welcome to cook in the kitchen until 9pm. Please wash up and leave everything as you found it. From 9pm the kitchen is set up for breakfast, so cooking an evening meal after that isn't really practical. If you know you'll be arriving later in the evening, we suggest eating on the way.
- Can I bring my dog?
- We're sorry, but no. We can't accept pets in any of our rooms or pods, because we're surrounded by livestock.
- Are children welcome?
- Children and infants are welcome in all our rooms and both pods. We should be honest, though: Glentruim isn't specifically set up for families. The pods are made for two (15 sqm and 21 sqm) and not really suited to families. The B&B is a homestay with shared spaces, not a self-contained family home. For guests with infants, we have one travel cot with a mattress and one highchair for the whole place, shared between the B&B and the pods and offered first-come first-served, so ask when you book. In line with NHS guidelines, we don't provide bedding for the cot, so please bring your own.
- Are there tea and coffee facilities in my bedroom?
- Not in the bedrooms: the kettle, tea, freshly ground coffee and herbal teas are all in the guest kitchen, which every B&B guest is welcome to use. It's a wee walk down to the kitchen, but you'll have the garden, the bird feeders and, with luck, a red squirrel for company while the kettle boils. Take your cup back to your room, the sun-room or the living room, wherever suits you.
- Is there WiFi?
- Yes. Superfast WiFi covers the whole property, including every room and both pods, and there's no password to enter.
