Hayley 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: On the Main Street and can walk to local amenities within 5 minutes. We visited stayed on a Tuesday which happened to be quiz night which was a lot of fun! The staff were all so lovely and the room was spotlessly clean! Breakfast was included in our stay, there was a great choice of cooked breakfast items as well as a continental breakfast buffet. We booked a budget room and were warned that there may be some noise from the bar but the room was very quiet despite the bar being lively.

Cons: We booked a budget room which was a little bit tired with marks on the walls etc (didn’t impact our experience though). The bed was extremely firm which is a very small complaint and is personal preference. A great stay!

A character-filled, independent hotel in the heart of Aviemore

Pros: An excellent stay in the Cairngorm. Room was compact but exactly what we needed for our one night stay. Staff were superb - efficient and up for a bit of banter. Very sensible last check out time. Breakfast was excellent - so nice to see Eggs Benedict on the menu as an alternative to the standard Full Scottish. Free parking at the front of the hotel. Hotel location is ideal, right in the heart of Aviemore and literally across the road from the railway station. Great to see craft beers from the new Uile-bheist brewery in Inverness on tap in the hotel bar.

Cons: Nothing to mention, it was all good!
