Very spacious and tastefully done rooms. My friend and I stayed in the "purple" room or Glenfiddich room as I have seen it posted as elsewhere. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was nice and spacious. Hosts were friendly and very welcoming. Ian had great recommendations on sights to see and where to go when we dined out. It was nice...

Castleview B&B was an excellent stop on our trip through Scotland. Ian was incredibly accommodating and a genuine pleasure to chat with in the morning. The room was clean, comfortable and large, and the beds were great. The breakfasts were delicious and traditional. We stayed here due to it's proximity to the Balvenie distillery and the area around Dufftown is... More

As always, Ian and Betty were the greatest hosts. Everything was excellent as usual, especially the homemade breakfast. The room was clean and for the value it can't be beat. It was a short five minute drive into town. I can't wait to return, next time with the entire family.

We stayed at Castleview with a couple of friends to celebrate my husbands 40th Birthday. After a10 hour drive we were very glad to arrive! First impressions are great; Ian came out to help with the bags and showed us to our rooms - Both of which were upstairs and almost self contained with a little landing / seating area.... More

Castleview B&B is a truly welcoming home. It’s ran by Ian, a super friendly host who makes sure that his guests are well taken care of and have all they need. The rooms were very comfy and the breakfast was delicious. A great place to stay and definitely a one to which we would come back.

A classic B&B, but because of the location and especially because if Ian and his wife this so much more. The rooms are decorated with a great attention to detail, the breakfast is delicious and the gardens are beautiful. If you go Speyside, this is where you want to be.

Had a great stay here - very handy for the Whiskey Trail. Nicest inn keepers ever - great recommendations from them. This is definitely worth a stay! Great location - really does have a view of the nearby castle. This B&B is tucked away but well marked - we found it at night with no problem. Lots of things to... More

Ian and Betty took good care of us. Excellent breakfast, acommodation and hospitapility. Thanks to their help and suggestions, we could visit other places than the distilleries around Dufftown, such as Lossiemouth (seaside) and the lovely Ballindalloch Castle. We would not hesitate in staying there next time in Scotland.
