This is an old property formerly i believe known as the Highlander Motel and parts of it still show its age That said my room was spacious, clean with what appeared to be a new refurbished bathroom with shower cabinet I enjoyed my stay with the staff on arrival and breakfast next morning being very pleasant. Service was excellent. One point to note is that the hotel is used for bus tours but that did not bother me in the least. Would stay here again if the need arose.

A lovely Highland getaway!

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.
