Haus Alba

We had high hopes for Haus Alba having read their wonderful reviews and I must say it did not disappoint, only excelled! Beate and David were outstanding hosts. Kind, knowledgeable and welcoming, it was a pleasure to spend the morning chatting with them. Our room was beautifully decorated, adorned with matching items which gave the room a 'home away from home' feel. A cosy bed and a wee welcome dram of whiskey - what more can you want? David and Beate, we thank you. Unfortunately we did not have time for David's excellent tours - but who knows? For there will certainly be a next time. The Welshies will return!

My son and I went to Scotland for a weekend experience. It didn't dissapoint. David collected us from the airport and proceeded to host us around the speyside, visiting whisky distilleries throughout the day. His knowledge of the local area and whisky is second to none. We arrived at Haus Alba late afternoon. The house is lovely, clean, spacious and is steeped in Scottish history and character. David and Beate are amazing hosts and nothing is too much. The Scottish breakfast was a great start to our 2nd day prior to being guided by David up onto the snow line in the Cairngorms. This is truly magical and the pictures don't do it justice. That evening we were hosted by David for a whisky tasting of some special single malts, this is a must! My son and I had a fantastic weekend and memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks to David and Beate for being such great hosts. We will be back for sure. Scott & Kyle Henderson

We were 4 adults , my husband and his parents who stayed with Beate and David for 4 nights. My husband and I booked one night last year, and decided to go back to take in everything the exciting area has to offer, both when it comes to food and whiskey culture, as well as the area's rich history and spectacular nature. We were not disappointed:) We were taken care of so well from the start. I would recommend staying here for a some days. We were able to take part in a full-day whiskey tour with Connor (the son), as well as a fantastic outdoor day, where we hiked in the mountains of the Cairngorms, together with David. My husband is very fond of whiskey, so our last night he got a thorough review of the best whiskey houses in Scotland, with tasting. Beate prepared a delicious breakfast every morning, and made a great meal for us during the whiskey tasting. We enjoyed ourselves very much, both my parents-in-law who are over 70 years old, and my husband and I. This is much more than a Bed and breakfast, but cultural communicators and storytellers of the highest class. We hope you will visit Norway, David and Beate. Good luck with your wedding preparations Connor
