Good accommodations for the price.

No frills lodging. It's an older building, and it is showing it's age, but it's sufficient for a night or two. Big tub in the bathroom. Rooms are warm (It's Oct and cold!). Good accommodations for the price. Make sure you check your email ahead of time for the key box code, or you will have to call from the unstaffed reception. Free coffee and snacks at breakfast.

Scary drive up, but worth it. Kitchenette is very basic, with no toaster or hob (kettle and microwave only). Large bed, comfortable living area. Couldn't work out how to get the shower colder, but bath worked well.

Just what you want

We stayed 1 night after climbing Ben Nevis as it is about an hour away and for the price it was perfect. We stayed in stables and it was just what you would want, nice quiet apartment with comfy clean facilities, nice powerful hot shower and comfy bed. Parking out the front of our room and a complimentary breakfast which was a nice touch. Would highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The room and en suite bathroom were large and clean. Parking was ample and easy. No one was on site at the hotel, and I was a bit confused about the self check in process. Ultimately got that sorted, but I was tired when checking in, so it felt like an additional hassle after a long day of driving. The room was clean, but the bed was a bit uncomfortable for me and the pillows very flat.

Great place for the money

Beautiful location. We couldn't believe the price for such a nice place. An older building, but very nice. If you are looking for a place to spend the night in the Caringorns, give them a try.

We had originally planned 2 nights in The Spey, but we had to leave after 1 night due to a storm incoming & needing to catch a very early flight in Inverness. We loved the room & the quiet setting. Bed was firm, which was perfect. Very clean. No staff on site, which was odd but not a problem. Would stay here again.

Reasonably priced hotel great location

The hotel is a lovely old building large rooms. It is a very reasonable price given its location. It will appeal to one or two night stays. With no on-site staff and a digital key box to collect and return room keys it was unusual but worked.

A blast from the past

It was good to stay in a place with character: old world design, giant panelling, uneven floors, old-world carpets, high ceilings, wooden doors, pre-modern architecture and fittings were a welcome break from Welcome Break anodynity. But finding it was hard at night: none of the signs were well-lit or lit at all; that's my only concern
