Hotel was full of dogs which wasn’t good and wandering around in restaurant while people eating. Breakfast was cold and staff weren’t bothered never asked why food wasn’t eaten!

Property feels like an old ski resort hotel but does not feel especially updated. With all the covid-19 confusion at the moment a lot of the staff seem a little confused around service of food in the restaurants and it felt a little disjointed. Also at breakfast they were playing one kane brown song on repeat and was still playing half an hour later at checkout, this was a little strange.

The hotel was managing to make their hotel and our stay very safe despite the present situation. The room was extremely suitable the only point was television giving only 3 channels, this was a bit of throwback, but not an issue. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. The meals were excellent. All in a very delightful stay in a beautiful part of the Scotland.

Average family stop-over.
For the limited amount of choice and availability during our travel dates we had no choice but to book this hotel for our overnight stopover. I called the hotel in advance to try and get nearby rooms one as a twin and the other as a double, which the staff assured me wouldn't be a problem. However upon checkin this request could not be accommodated. Instead we needed to settle for two twin rooms separate from one another after viewing and discussing various options with reception. The communal areas of the hotel and rooms are quite dated but reasonably well looked after by the management. One could argue the squeaky floorboards and stairs throughout the property are part of its character! Breakfast was good. All in all an average experience for the price we paid.

Noisy room near the stairs of the hotel. In room facitilies basic - shower seemed to only have the boiling hot setting working and the TV display had lines running through it. Thought the hotel had done well with the covid measures though.

Ok Hotel
We stayed 1 night at the 3 star hotel as we visited the area. Check in was very smooth. The rooms very clean and tidy but the shower units were a challenge to adjust and the water temp changed without notice, so you had to be alert, we had 3 rooms so it was the same issue in all the rooms. The Hotel like all others was dealing with social distancing etc, so many challenges for the staff but even taking that in to consideration it was below par. We had a very long wait for Dinner which was not a major issue as we were not in a hurry to go anywhere but it was well over 1 hour to get our main course, at one point we were asked by a staff member if we would like dessert but we were still waiting for our main course. Staff were friendly enough but we did overheard similar issues with other guests. The quality of Dinner and Breakfast was below the usual standard for the Cairngorms area.

Disappointing
The room itself was dirty, floor hadn't been hoovered and hairs in the bath. The shower hose was leaking so not brilliant water pressure. Room looked out on to the back and as the windows were old, single pane and had broken handles I could hear everything at night. Walls paper thin so could hear next door and upstairs like we were separated by cardboard. The poached eggs for breakfast were so undercooked that the whites were still liquid so had to send this back. I'd not recommend this hotel or stay here again.

Nice hotel and felt safe within COV-19 measurements they had in the hotel. The breakfast very nice especially the Scottish porridge. The hotel exactly on the top of the river where the historical Stone arch bridge is stand.

Overall ok
Overall ok stay. Some minimal issues initially but resolved quickly. Nice looking hotel and well kept inside. Staff friendliness could’ve been improved upon a little. Hotel bar choice quite poor, including not even having gin glasses.

Absolutely lovely hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was quiet and comfortable. Wonderful place for a short stay. Breakfast was great. Every staff member wore masks and visors, a shield was installed around reception for further shielding and there were automatic hand gel dispensers throughout the hotel.

Very small room,, with generator under the bedroom window, so no sleep. Woke up to fire alarm ( there was a small fire in a chimney) and had tho stand outside in a car park for a long time, whilst the staff all sat inside on confortable chairs in a conservatory . So no breakfast - will no be going back.

Pleasant and comfortable stay,
This hotel is well situated for exploring the surrounding areas. The entrance retains the period style of the building and the inside looks more modern. Staff are friendly and polite and very welcoming at the reception area. My room was 415 and I had to admit the signage was a bit confusing but managed to find it. Long corridors. I had a twin room and it was tidy with sufficient room for my needs. This can be a busy place with coach parties, so be aware. Bar prices are reasonable and they do steak nights etc. Breakfast was a bit of a let down if I’m honest, although it looked lovely (buffet style) it was warm and I wasn’t expecting that at 7:35 in the morning, so I opted for the other options available. I prefer a pot of coffee rather than the thermos coffee on offer, but that’s just my preference. would stay here again though

Lovely big room with airy windows and comfy beds. Bar and restaurant a bit run down with a very limited and basic menu which was a shame as a great situation, lovely staff and plenty to do within walking distance.

Good value
The hotel is a little dated and a bit shabby in places but they are currently upgrading it and the room I was in was one of the new rooms and was clean and comfortable. The hotel was very busy with tour buses but the staff were very good and apologised for the delay in the dining room and the food was good and reasonably priced. Breakfast was good although a teapot instead of a cup would have been better. There was a singer on who was excellent and although on business it made it more of a holiday feel. The surrounding area is really pretty and I would go back as the price was realistic for the overall quality.

muy bonito y acogedor
Haciendo ruta en coche paramos aquí un día. El hotel es cómodo y muy bien localizado. Cerca hay una gasolinera y aparcamiento de sobra. El desayuno bien cocinado y buen servicio. Un poco antiguo todo pero le da un toque rustico.
