Day-trip delights

The Crown & Anchor Inn, Findhorn: After a lovely beach stroll, enjoy a meal at this charming inn. Picture this: good vibes, stunning views and even better food. It’s the perfect way to round off a day out before returning to Grantown.
Braemar & lunch at The Fife Arms: Take a scenic drive along the spectacular SnowRoads route to the historic village of Braemar. This journey is especially rewarding between May and August, when the days are longer and the landscapes are bathed in soft Highland light. Explore the village’s timeless charm before enjoying a memorable lunch at The Fife Arms, a unique hotel and restaurant where bold design meets locally inspired cuisine, truly a destination in itself. As you return to Grantown, the road often treats you to a golden Highland sunset. It feels as though you’re driving into the light, the perfect end to a perfect day.

Afternoon tea, anyone?

Breakfast at Garden Park Guest House

Let’s talk about breakfast, where quality is always our priority.

Juice: only 100% fruit juice, no concentrates here.
Meat: locally sourced from the town butcher.
Fruit & berries: fresh from Grantown Dairy in town, with berries from Westmuir Fruit Farm or the Kingdom of Fife.
Homemade: our Birchermüesli and hummus are lovingly made in-house. Our bread (not toast!) is baked fresh using top-quality organic flour from North Wessex. Even our jams are homemade, with less sugar than usual, and they’re a firm favourite with Guests. You like them? We have 100 ml jars ready for you to buy.
Sustainable choices: we source nuts and spices from Fiona’s Wholefoods & Refills, a local shop that avoids unnecessary packaging and plastics. It’s just another way we’re committed to reducing waste and caring for the environment.
