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!

I highly recommend this cosy place to stay. The hosts are very welcoming and generous with their hospitality, knowledge and time. Our room was large and had everything we needed and more; a very comfortable, large bed, well provisioned bathroom with bath and shower, and a welcome tray including a very special whisky dram. Our breakfast was delicious, beautifully cooked and also a lovely selection of yoghurts, skyr and fresh berries and fruit. We will return for sure!

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

Absolutely wonderful. David and Beate are just wonderful hosts. We originally booked a day trip tour with David for whisky tastings and due to re-scheduling we needed an additional night accommodation and fortunately David and Beate had availability. Both of us couples stayed at their home and they made us feel totally at home. The rooms were very comfortable and most definitely clean. Breakfast was yummy. It is too bad that we didn't have a few more nights! We will most definitely stay with David and Beate again. David has so much knowledge of whisky and we could not ask for a better host to take us around to all the whisky tastings throughout the day. We will be back and look to seeing David and Beate again.

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

David was super friendly and welcoming into his home. They had lovely touches in the room such as whiskey to taste which my husband very much enjoyed. The area is lovely with easy access to local amenities. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful - would recommend staying here. Thank you Hayley & David
