I was pleasantly surprised by how good this hotel is, although is not a new property it's well kept and clean, the meals in the restaurant are great! My wife had the fish of the day (Gurnard) and I had the aged steak both meals excided our expectations for flavour and freshness. I will highly recommend this place to anyone

Great staff and food. Funny layout in our room - had to move the couch to watch TV. The worst thing on a stinking hot day was the warm beer in the bar! Would stay again.

This is a great place to stay for a weekend of fishing around the Aviemore area. Prices are reasonable the pub food is good and they have cold Speights on tap, what more could you possible ask for

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the fact there was a great restaurant on site with our accommodation. The added bonus was a Saturday night quiz that we were encouraged to participate in. Our room was a standard queen, it is dated and requires some refurbishment but the bathroom has had a very nice overhaul. Walls are thin, take earplugs if you have an early morning departure.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Well good points. Room was warm, the food was nice. The barman was nice and helpful he even came to room to see if he could get TV working. Bad points. The TV and radio didn't work, the beds were uncomfortable, The handbasin was cracked/broken. The room was very outdated. Worst of all was the bedspread on one of the beds had huge stains on it. Would return to the Eatery/Bar. However would not stay at their accomodation again.

6/10 Good

We had an emergency and had to leave just after booking, with no facilities used. We had 3 rooms $307.80.which included Two single rooms at full price. Beer was over $10 per pint and child running everywhere. So a very expensive stay for nothing. Not offered any discount on leaving.

The staff, the bar and the food were all great. Room 11 needs to be completely done up. And if you continue to use room 11 get it cleaned properly. I would stay there again but not in room 11.
