A lovely Highland getaway!
I enjoyed a two night stay here recently and I was treated to excellent service. The hotel is a little tired but the staff were superb and the hotel location is perfect to explore the Cairngorms and, in my case, explore the local golf courses. I will definitely return! The hotel was superb value for money.

Good value stay
Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean although there were a number of stains on the wall. Breakfasts were good but the evening meal we had was poor. Howwever, overall it was a good stay and I would recommend for a reasonably priced stay.

Good overnight stay
One night stay. Staff efficient and pleasant. Room was on the ground floor and there was quite a lot of creaking floorboards from the room above which was on the verge of being disturbing.
Found the bar lacked character, mistook it for a small dining area to begin with, no easy chairs.

Great value
I used this as a stop-off, due to a long journey from further up in The Highlands.
The room was fairly basic but clean and comfortable and equipped with everything I needed.
Good value for money and I will definitely use this again, if it's a logical base for my journey.

Newtonmore stay
We stayed for one night and found the hotel easily on the main road. The room was large as was the bathroom, and the bed was comfortable. If I went again I would ask for an upstairs room due to floorboard creaking above us from 6am.
Breakfast was plentiful and the service was very quick even though they had a coach party in also.
We had evening meal of steak pie, fish and chips which was very good.
Drinks from the bar were not overpriced and all staff were extremely pleasant.

Nice wee hotel
Nice wee hotel. Clean room, comfy bed, extra covers if needed. Shower and toilet very clean and shower was good and water hot. Pillows not to my liking, some you win, some you lose.

The staff were great the food and service were very good.
Our room was cosy as described by them but that did
reflect in the cost. We certainly intend to return.

For the price it was fine for one night. Wouldn't have liked to stay more than one night as the mattress was very uncomfortable. The hotel is in need of renovation, but I can't complain as we only paid 37 for the room. The service was good and with a smile.

Great to see these small independent hotels still thriving! So much friendlier & far more character than the usual ‘run of the mill’ commercial chains. Would happily book again.
