Was in a very small courtyard room so not a lot of space, even travelling solo.

Great access point for exploring the Cairngorms. Great breakfast options!

I was given a larger room than that booked, however this was a wet room en suite, when I would have preferred a bath with shower over. The bed was nit very comfortable either.

Really enjoyed the breakfast. All of the staff I met were polite, cheerful and well informed. The room was quiet being I the far extension which is reached through covered hallway.

It was listed as a small double room. The room size was okay, but the bed was more like a big single than a double, which made sleeping very uncomfortable. The layout of the room was terrible with the bed against the window, which meant the curtains hung over the bedhead, which I thought was very unhygienic. There was plenty of room for a normal sized double bed and I think the hotel should state the reason why they class it as a small double should be due to the size of the bed, not the room size. The main restaurant food was overpriced for the quality of the meal.

The facilities were good, we used the swimming pool, restaurants and bar. Great live music in the evenings. And the pizzas in the Woodshed were good.

Tiny room and not as clean as I expected with a constant smell of smoke along the corridor. The room was away from the main hotel and i assume was the reason for the competitive price. Dogs barking and people walking the corridors all night going to the external smoking area which was close by.

Great selection of food for breakfast. The reception area and dining area are very impressive but this soon disappeared when i went to my room.

Room was bit tiered needing up graded. Not enough staff check in bit of a nightmare, also 4pm check in and 10am check out not value for money.

Breakfast was good. The foyer was nice and clean.

Not easy to access room . I was up narrow stairs and lugging suitcase etc not easy. Breakfast in dining room was not great. It is not a pleasant space and is more like a canteen than a dining room. That was the least favourable aspect of my stay.

Room was comfortable and well appointed. I was in a double but on my own. Might have not been so roomy for 2! The large lounge at the entrance is very attractively decorated and was a good social space. We had private dining space and it was the right size and the staff were very good.

We were 'upgraded' to a larger double room but seemingly moved to a room that felt like it was in the prison wing of the hotel. An extended annex in the rear that has no photos in the advertising of the stay.. It was far too expensive a stay for what it was worth

The evening dinner available in the reception bar was surprisingly good

Not the most friendly but it’s massive and so not a massive problem.

Does what it says on the tin. It’s a resort hotel and performs the task well.

Very disappointed in this hotel, it was in a soulless, sprawling building. Basics like a towel rail and a toilet brush were missing. Shower was not great either. We stayed 3 nights and our room was not serviced. The restaurant was buffet style and noisy and impersonal and food rather like a motorway service station. We slept OK but spent as much time as possible away from the hotel. Very expensive for what it was.

Great location for exploring the area but otherwise disappointing. Adequate parking.

We were given the wrong info re evening meals on checking in. We were told the bar and woodshed were open for evening meals however we stayed on a Thursday and none of these were open. On going to the restaurant we were declined food as we hadn’t booked. Not ideal.

Lovely location. Clean hotel and comfy bed.

20 minutes standing in a queue to book in, with only two people in front of me, and half a mile of queueing people behind....shocking lack of staff. Both at reception and the bar area. No lemons or limes in the bar (they'd run out). No food served after 2030hrs, and we'd hill walked 20+ miles....not acceptable for a hotel in today's world. What this hotel needs is 'The Hotel Inspector' to come in and fix what could once again be a great establishment.

Location, clean,fresh towels, and bedding. Barman, 'Innes', or similar.

Size of a cosy double room

Remote setting and quiet location

Stayed in May 2024

Our room was too hot, the heating was off, we had the fans on, windows open and it still was impossible to cool down what really affected our ability to sleep well in the room.

I liked the atmosphere in the hotel. Especially the social areas, main lobby, restaurant etc. Food was good as well, we enjoyed our breakfast and main courses. However I would have liked having the option to have a la carta menu as well on top of the buffet.

Stayed in June 2024

Very small bathroom, had to climb behind door to shut it. First room they gave me smelt of cigarettes so I requested to be moved which they did but room was small, bed up against the wall and not a lot of storage. Bed wasn’t comfy and could feel springs and I’m not a heavy person.

Nice hotel local to attractions and location good for hiking but close to shops if needed

The bedrooms are very tired and definitely need a little love and upkeep. There is also definitely a lack of staff. Only one front of house staff member on the woodshed bar, it was lovely weather and busy and a rather long wait for drinks.

The property had an onsite fun house and swimming pool so was great for kids. You can walk down to the river which was beautiful. The evening music was also lovely to chill with the family in the evening.

We didn't have breakfast because of the cost (we generally have a light breakfast but would be having to pay for full meal). Dinner was adequate, considering the cost, though a buffet does benefit folk with bigger appetites!

Location was ideal as we could walk into the forests from the hotel. The hotel decor was a little tired but it was really good value for money. It was a real bonus to have a pool free for guests.
