    This is a question that I find difficult. Given my wife's infirmity it would have been better if there had been a lift rather than stairs. Other than that not a lot else to moan about.

    everything, even the weather We were not sure what to expect but the hotel and the staff were excellent. The food was obviously a big attraction, given the number of nationalities in the dining room, but I am sure it met up with expectations.

    It was difficult for my wife's mobility problems that she had to climb two sets of stairs to reach the room.

    Excellent food, and the ingredients were sourced locally. The black pudding with breakfast was the best I've ever eaten! The restaurant was also open to the public, and a full house is always a good indicator of quality.

    Very nice hotel, but too expensive

    Very nice hotel, exceptionally clean and well maintained, conveniently located a short drive outside Aviemore and near the Coylumbridge roundabout. But it was very expensive: I had stayed here previously in July 2016 and the B&B price had increased (I nerdily calculate...) by 7.9% per annum (compounded) during the intervening six years. The restaurant was too expensive for me (a burger costs £18, which is simply ridiculous) and I went to the chippie in Aviemore.

    Nothing.

    we arrived late and left just after checking out but we were greeted with a warm welcome, rooms were newly refurbished by the look of them, clean and comfortable. breakfast was great with a good selection. Pity we were too late to have an evening meal as I am sure it would have been equally as good.

    Single room was quite small. Also bring earplugs. Old houses are not extremely well soundproofed.

    Very friendly staff. Super breakfast. Bus stop right in front of the hotel! Comfy bed. Greatest showers ever! Very celan . Would come again.

    It would be nice to inform the guests to close the toilet window at night, so what outside does not get inside.

    The hotel is very clean and the staff are really nice and friendly. Also, the location of the hotel is really great. Thank you for your great hospitality.

    minor issues but the room was very tiny (although bathroom was better) and personally I dislike having to prebook the time I want breakfast and what I want to eat (seems more reasonable in a small b&b than a hotel).

    Only complaint is the sunshine that seeped through the curtains giving us an early awakening.

    Nicely situated on the side of the old A9 with fine views over Loch Alvie. You can take a short walk through a field to the lochside. Good old fashioned personal attention, a real treat to meet such interacting staff. We chose the small double room no.4 since it had a bath. Comfortable room with everything you would expect. Good range of choice for dinner and well presented. Service exemplary. We had the Breaded Fish and the Glazed Bacon, followed by the cheese board. Breakfast was substantial. The porridge a sizeable bowl. Cooked breakfast was a real treat with incredibly good bacon.
