A peaceful and comfortable hotel with very nice meals in the downstairs restaurant. This was a lovely place from which to explore Cairngorms National Park. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend the hotel to friends!

Super little hotel in a lovely village

Great little hotel, very friendly with a super bar and restaurant. Bed was very comfortable and room was spacious and clean. Take a walk along the Riverside walk and into the woodland walk to see all the amazing wood sculptures.

Cute place

We spent over night. The place is a little shabby but the staff are super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. We had a room overlooking the street on a Saturday night so were not surprised to hear some revelry but it didn't last long. Overall pleasant enough.

I made a mistake on my booking and they kindly moved me to another room on day two with no charge . They couldn’t be more helpful . The rooms are not the grandest but the helpfulness of the owner and staff more than makes up for a bit of room tiredness .

Cairn Hotel

The good:- staff were all lovely, comfy bed and best scrambled eggs (breakfast) that i have ever had. Loads of parking (BTW car park entrance is next to coffee shop, I initially drove past it) The bad:- three of the five ceiling light bulbs weren't working (also bedside lights are too low down for reading) and room door jammed so badly that i needed help to get in The ugly:- broken toilet seat The issues above were minor but irritating. However, the cheerful and helpful staff and the excellent breakfast, together with a charming "feel" outweighed these niggles. With a wee bit more attention to detail this hotel could be fantastic

Wonderful hotel. The second time I have stayed here. Wonderful staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Alice is an absolute star. Great food with generous portions. If you ate a full breakfast you would need to walk ten miles to walk it off. Cannot praise this hotel enough
