Lovely old church, near the sea, on north east corner of Scotland. Spey bay nearby (7 miles, turn at Fochabers and follow signs for Whale and Dolphin Centre) is a must for viewing Dolphins, they come to the mouth of the Spey river to eat the Salmon and trout the river is famous for. Saw two playing on our first... More

Excellent welcome and food. Clean, comfortable room. High expectations met. Cawdor Castle is not far away with gardens, excellent woodland walks and a range of shops. Good value. Spey Bay is unmissable for nature lovers

We really enjoyed our stay here.The room was very comfortable and the bathroom large. The place has a lot of character and the hosts made us feel so welcome with a guided tour of the church on arrival. The gardens are beautiful. The food was very tasty with imaginative dishes served.The hosts are also dog friendly I would highly recommend... More

If you are looking for a different B&B experience, stay at the Parrandier! The rooms were nice and well furnished with multiple lounges to sit, read and relax. We had both dinner & breakfast, and the dinner was definitely excellent quality and value as compared to the breakfast. The hosts were welcoming and very nice, but seemed a bit rigid... More

We were looking for a different kind of B&B experience and were attracted to this inn. The food was wonderful. The room (we chose the "family room) was large and beautiful. Eating dinner and breakfast at a large table, sharing it with other guests, was one of the highlights of our trip. We met very interesting and entertaining people. Kris... More

We arrived very cold to a beautiful building in a lovelly setting - Unfortunately our room was quite cold which isnt ideal after a day touring on the bike. We also had to go out again on the bike as we arrived early evening and would have had to order dinner before 10.30 that morning which we would have done... More

I am sorry that guests felt not cosy enough in their room but it helps to get the thermostate of the radiator up to a higher than the medium level we have set it for the average request in a bedroom. DINNER we offer at several stages during the booking procedure and there is a clear note in the final... More

This was one of two church conversions that my daughter and I stayed in on this trip. Parrandier is a lovely building and its setting (off by itself but surrounded by an interesting property) gives it a very special atmosphere. The bells are lovely. Our welcome was warm and friendly, even though we arrived later than we expected and unfortunately... More
