Pleasant stopover in Aviemore here. Would come back to have the Nachos again 🙂

Pros: The food we ate (dinner and breakfast) were exceptional. And, all staff were very friendly.

Cons: The only tithing that keep us giving a 10 was the room we had was a little ‘tired’ and a lick of paint would probably help. It wasn’t big issue, but prevented me giving a 10
