The Grant Arms Hotel

Jump to:

The Grant Arms Hotel is a Victorian hotel in the heart of Grantown-on-Spey, with a rather grand gray stone façade. Its main focus is on wildlife; the hotel has a wonderful ‘wildlife corridor’ lined with local maps and posters identifying species, which leads to a club room. This is filled with bird and wildlife books, suggested local walks and activities, a sightings board and a room that regularly hosts talks by famous wildlife experts and TV presenters. The 50 bedrooms are a little plain but perfectly comfortable, and the food served in the restaurant is delicious, made from locally sourced ingredients.

OUR OPINION:

We love this hotel because it鈥檚 a fantastic option for wildlife enthusiasts, with resources and knowledgeable staff to help you make the most of your time in the Cairngorms.
