charming stay near the cairngorms
friendly staffmassive bedbeautiful location
The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my dog. the bed in my room was massive and quite comfy. the location is beautiful and perfect for exploring the area, i loved the easy access to the surrounding countryside and the loch. breakfast was great and felt personal. I appreciated the effort to make us comfortable during our first hotel breakfast with our young dog.
my room wasn't as warm as i would have liked.

Decent Stay. Room Needs Improvement
great breakfastsmall roompartial ventilation
The breakfast was great.
The room was quite small. There was almost no space to walk around the bed, feel cramped. I also noticed the window could only be opened partially. THIS meant I could not properly ventilate the room, and it got quite stuffy overnight.

well trained stafflocal areaexcellent locationsmall roomsmall bedhigh window
The staff had excellent knowledge of the local area. The location made it easy to explore the Cairngorms national park. The restaurant was busy each evening which tells me the food must be good.
I arrived and the room was smaller than I expected. The bed was a genuine double, so if you require a larger bed, check first. The window was high up so you had to stand to see out.
