Arrived to this dog friendly hotel and were greeted by a friendly manager who showed us to our room. When we walked into the room the curtains were closed but it was made up nicely enough with a balcony. Unfortunately, the room was tiny - definitely not big enough for two adults and a big dog. Having said that, apart from the peeling wallpaper and orange gunk around the taps it was adequate. There were tea and coffee facilities in the wardrobe, I’m not sure where we would have plugged the kettle in if we had wanted to as there was no surface space - perhaps the floor? My husband was advised on popping downstairs that the only time available for us to eat was at 6.30pm as they were fully booked. Later, when I took the dog out for a wee walk I asked a bit more about this as I had presumed we’d be factored in for dinner at time of booking as with most country hotels with nowhere else to eat in a 5 mile Radius. I was advised that we had been and that 6.30 was a reasonable time to eat dinner. I entirely disagree when we had not long arrived - check in is at 4pm and after a long day walking we needed showers and some chill time. The bar area was quiet to say the least. No music and no other people. I asked about popping the rugby on at a low volume and was told this wasn’t possible. We decided that given the time of dinner, lack of atmosphere and general feeling of the hotel, we would go into town. A £20 taxi there and we found ourselves in the balmoral bar which ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enjoyable stay We booked a room on the spur of the moment as it was too late in the day to travel south. Craig, The Manager, made us very welcome and was extremely helpful, professional and efficient, he is a great asset for the business. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### BILL Nov 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel is a great base for walking in the northern Cairngorms. Its also only a few miles to either Aboyne or Ballater which has bars, restaurants, supermarkets etc etc ##### BILL Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We were treated like royalty. Such a class act establishment. Every question we had, they had an answer and a kind response. They gave directions and suggestions and made our time in Cairngorm so special. The food was delicious. The breakfast was out of this world. We don’t have anything bad to say and we have run out of superlatives to describe our stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil Aug 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended.

It was very small, the bed was uncomfortable and the shower was extremely poor with weak water pressure, but excessively hot. All in all the room was very tired and in urgent need of an upgrade or a lick of paint as a minimum. The staff were very friendly and helpful, however there was no enquiry as to how we enjoyed our staff when checking out, probably for fear of the reply. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent food.

This is an excellent place! The second time in a year I've stayed here (once in June, once in December) and it was just as good both times. Charming place, very well located for Cairngorms national park or Balmoral. The owners and staff are truly helpful and kind. I will most likely stay here again when I'm on my way back. Clean rooms, great beds, beautiful sitting room. ##### Mathilda Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Akumal](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6196-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Glasgow Emo](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Emo.h42563425.Hotel-Information) > - [Glenskirlie House & Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnybridge-Hotels-Glenskirlie-House-Castle.h13267169.Hotel-Information) > - [Dunalastair Hotel Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-Dunalastair-Hotel-Suites.h888815.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Manse](https://www.expedia.ca/Ardgay-Hotels-The-Old-Manse.h31952820.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ballinluig Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Ballinluig-Inn.h113444546.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbourside Apartment No 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Isle-Of-Mull-Hotels-Harbourside-Apartment-No-2.h106157685.Hotel-Information) > - [Leslie Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Insch-Hotels-Leslie-Castle.h22704599.Hotel-Information) > - [Kings Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Kings-Park-Hotel.h574402.Hotel-Information) > - [The Murray Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Murray-Arms-Hotel.h22682976.Hotel-Information) > - [Douglas Park Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Dunoon-Hotels-Douglas-Park-Guest-House.h15060876.Hotel-Information) > - [Inchmarlo Golf Resort, Banchory Villa 26
