"The room was spacious and clean, however the walls are fairly thin as we could hear the tv from the next room. Staff were attentive and courteous, going that extra mile to ensure our needs were catered for. Breakfast was great with a good selection to choose from. That said, as the hotel has numerous overnight stays from coach parties, it can get a little hectic at breakfast and evening meals. Due to the amount of coaches, parking at times was a slight issue, but the parking area is fairly large.Overall, a good stay for 4 days, used as a base location. Recommend booking a table for evening meals. "

"On the main road through Aviemore . Not noisy and enough parking off road. Room number one is very small with just enough room to manoeuvre around double bed. Small bathroom with shower. Bathroom all in black with small spotlights. This room was very disappointing as it was so small. Only a kettle and sink, no toaster. Not enough room for two adults and two dogs. There were two chairs at the bottom of the bed to watch TV both in poor condition. Photos of the property do not reflect how small this room is."

"Staff very friendly and helpful. Great linens and soft pillows. The food is delicious. Loved the scallops. Great parking."

"There is no air conditioning, but the weather was cool in April, so opening the window for a few minutes before bedtime made the room comfortable. Besides A/C the only amenity that was missing was a microwave oven. The room was very nice and quite large, compared to the others we stayed in on this trip."

"Room was abit disappointing. Not very clean, mugs and spoons in the room dirty. The check in process was 25+ minute wait. We were looking forward to using the pool during our stay, to find out it was closed for a big chunk of the day and didn’t reopen until 15.30. By then we would have been travelling back home. I didn’t quite understand why the pool would be closed bang in the middle of the day during the weekend. Quite disappointed in the overall stay for the Money we paid. We won’t be back. "

"A stunning retreat in the Scottish Highlands. Beautifully appointed, stunning meals and very friendly staff. And a big bonus: meeting the pet highland cattle Shamus and Seòras (pronounced Shaw-us) in Gaelic; John and George in English."

"I would return without a doubt. Lovely scenery and surroundings. Comfortable bed and great food wad only upstaged by the staff who were friendly and cheery."

"Outstanding. Lovely location. Excellent service. Very nice room, well appointed. "

"Staff is very kind, helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant is good, plenty of options in the menu and the drinks. swimming pool is great , a bit small but incredibly pleasant and a plus for your stay. Food at the restaurant is decent and portions are big, the bar atmosphere is great. Plenty of hot breakfast- could do with a bit more pasty options and the coffee is not great; wish I could ask for a proper drink instead of the wishy- washy one. Rooms are a bit tired but nicely newly refurbished bathrooms. Not the most luxurious place but overall a pleasant experience. "
