Good base for exploring the area.
Nice accommodation, clean and with a nice fully enclosed garden for our dogs. Excellent meal at the Copper Dog at Craigellachie, a few minutes drive away (pet friendly)
Although a Whiskey Distillery area, try Glenrinnes Distillery if like me, you prefer Gin or Vodka ;-)
Grantown East railway stop off great for braekfast/snack/lunch etc and pet friendly too.
