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.

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.

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.

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.

Highlander Hotel was recommended by a friend who had been impressed at how well they catered for large bus trips as well as smaller parties. We weren't sure it would suit us but tried it for two nights. It was a very pleasant surprise. Despite being a pet friendly hotel our room had absolutely no sign of ever having an animal in it and was spotlessly clean. The food was good and the staff were excellent - even offering us a cooked breakfast when we arrived 20 minutes late after I misread the breakfast times! Facilities were very good and it is conveniently placed for travel without traffic noise. Thank you.

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. 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.
