I don't think I have ever stayed somewhere with such lovely staff. There is such a good feeling in this hotel - the staff are so friendly. Our bags were whisked off when we arrived and carried upstairs. It is obviously a popular hotel. We were here in winter but the restaurants were packed each night! There is masses of lovely Scottish art all over the walls, and a tartan style carpet. We had an absolutely wonderful holiday. Do have a ride on the nearby steam train - so fun! Also have a walk at the gorgeous nearby loch morlich, with its sandy beach. Lastly for a hike I recommend the circular walk to the green loch, loch uaine. I think this area is famous for birds too. Enjoy!

Clean and comfortable hotel, with nice decor. Tasty food. The Cullen skink was excellent, as was the steak - perfectly cooked. Plentiful, well cooked breakfast. Very dog friendly establishment. Pleasant staff who work hard at what they do. Room and bed were comfortable. It was quiet at night, which is a blessing, as many hotels are noisy. Good location for walks. We would certainly consider returning if in the area again.

Room was very snug. The room online is described as being 237 square feet - it most definitely wasn't that big, which is misleading. I used to run a B&B and find this unacceptable. I'm not sure how they get away with it tbh. However, it was quiet and only one night so we let it slide. Very expensive for dogs - a maximum of £10 is plenty. Again, I accepted dogs in my establishment but for £5, but hotels that use the excuse iof 'deep clean' just doesn't cut it. If you are cleaning properly it shouldn't make any difference.

The rooms were very nice. One had recently been renovated, the other was a little dated, but still very nice and comfortable. The food was very nice indeed, and we decided to eat dinner at the hotel each night. The staff really made all the difference, so helpful and went above and beyond with the children. All staff were good, but we especially mention Meg, Nicole, Abbie and Ollie. They did have a few issues in the kitchen one evening, which meant the food was delayed, but it was very nice when it did arrive. The location of the hotel is great, right next to the steam railway station and a lovely secret garden.

I think the speed of the food arriving at the table after ordering needs to be improved upon, and also maybe a few extra staff members for evening meal time so they are able to open the side rooms quicker to save on the wait. The food was amazing though, just not always good to have to wait so long, especially when the children are hungry after a busy day exploring.

This is a lovely hotel up in the Scottish Highlands. It sits right next to the railway station where the Strathspey Railway comes in should you be there on the days it does. All the staff are very friendly and polite and can't do enough for you. Our room was beautiful, large area and large bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was included and is served as a buffet style initially and then you order a cooked breakfast if you want one. There is also a restaurant in the hotel which is reasonably priced. The location was about 4 miles from Aviemore and we used it as a base to go on day trips.

nothing but just to make people aware there are no lifts to the room so you have to walk up steps (but we did get offered assistance to get our luggage up there) so for us it wasn't a problem.

The room was small but arranged in such a way that gave me the feeling of being in a bigger room. Because I was alone the fact the double bed was against the wall was not an issue to me, saying that, if there were 2 people I might think the adult sleeping against the wall might been quite squized. Breakfast was good, the continental buffet was nice and the scottish breakfast even better. The idea of proposing to the guest a wee scottish breakfast is good, instead of having a big breakfast and not finishing all of it, the wee scottish breakfast is a wonderful solution to not trow away food. All the atmosphere in the hotel from the check in till the check out is cozy and warm. Just the way we were used to have in Scottish hotels in the past.

Nothing to add

Clean, well decorated and fitted room. The building while old and packed with character is well maintained for the most part.

Shower cubicle was a tad small for a larger person (myself) the old wooden sash windows were a little worse for ware and let in cold air while closed. Probably need replacing at some time in the near future. Also the parking is limited to little more than a dozen spaces. It can be tricky finding a spot of you’re later than 4pm back from your daily exploring.

First of all, the service we received was excellent. As soon as we arrived and checked in, there was a young man available to help take our bags to our room. The quaintness of this inn was what we have come to expect when we travel and look for out of the way places. We had to walk up a few flights of stairs and wind around halls and go through doors to get to our room which looked out over the rail yard but we never heard a train. We did make reservations for dinner and nothing disappointed about our meals. The breakfast the next morning was also a delight! Not only the breads and fruit spread out but also included was ordering from the menu. Something to note as we moved from one place to another was the quality of service that we experienced in almost every restaurant. These servers work together and always worked with a smile and a level of politeness that exceeded our expectations. There never seemed to be a shortage of help and we never waited more than a few minutes for any request to be met.

The car park was a little difficult to figure out as there didn't seem to be any signage. But, after checking in, we were directed to a spot that we could use overnight. Our only regret was arriving in rain that prevented us from exploring the area a little more.

Very warm and friendly welcome here, a nice and cosy place. We arrived late and left early so couldn't appreciate the stay as a whole as we travelled for work purposes. The bed was large and comfy (in the upgraded room) We originally booked a budget room but glad we didn't stay in this room (very basic and no carpet!)

The room wasn't ready (bed not made) but quickly sorted another room which was an upgrade, so we appreciated that. No cash payments at the bar and no ice. The shower (a large walk in) had very little pressure but it was hot. All in all it was a nice stay and would return if in the area.

Great Value Hotel in a lovely location with lots or trails nearby. It’s in a small quiet town, so enjoyed peace and quiet during our stay. Breakfast was pretty good too.

Some furnitures and amenities looking a bit tired and perhaps needing a bit of refurbishing. Young Staff in the dining area whilst they’re lovely and chatty maybe then need to tone down the banters especially with some profanities, whilst guests are trying to enjoy dinner, seemed a bit unprofessional.

Warm welcome on arrival by friendly staff. Allowed us to check in early and did last minute check to ensure room was ready whilst we had lunch. Waiting staff at the onsite resytarent attentive but not overbearing. Beautfiful room with inrtoom bath with a beautiful view out over the train station and the hills in the distance.

Sleep was slightly disturbed by the music downstairs. Although not overly loud when downstairs, as the speakers are positioned in the top corner of each room it comes through louder upstairs.
