Top Towie Hotel Reviews

The Boat Inn

8/10 Good

"The only reason I have dropped a star is because the noise. You can hear everything in the rooms at the back of the main bar. Staff were fantastic with customer service. This is the only thing i feel lets the place down"

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites Royal Deeside

10/10 Excellent

"Ideally located for hillwalking and exploring the Cairngorms Stayed in one of the Hilton Suites comprising a sitting area, kitchenette bedroom and bathroom- the kitchenette was well fitted out with all the utensils and amenities required. All the areas were very well proportioned and roomy. The bed was very comfortable and the suite very clean. A great place to stay"

The Commercial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room, clean and very well maintained. Staff were very helpful, the bar was busy and friendly and restaurant was excellent value. Thank you for a lovely stay."

Balmoral Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Spectacular gem of a hotel!"

Tor Na Coille Hotel & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Overall Had a good stay. Our standard room the bed was a tiny double and on one side a sloping roof making it very difficult to get in and out of bed without smashing head. The kettle didn't reach the plug so had to make coffee on the floor. The shower was an awful old electric thing that didnt get hot and was just a dribble of water. The bar was set up for breakfast by 8pm and so we couldn't sit and enjoy a drink there after dinner. However these were just wee annoying things. We had a great dinner, very tasty and good portion size. Breakfast was okay. The staff were all lovely. We would stay again but pay extra for a superior room"

Cambus o'May Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place in the forest. Magnificent outside area to have a drink and look at the mountains. Food both dinner and breakfast were delicious and staff efficient and nice. Highly recommend"

Haughton Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked very last minute and got a good price which included breakfast. We had requested a room with a bath if possible but didn't get one and staff member who checked us in didn't mention the request at all. The room was a good size and clean enough. We were only given 1 coffee cup in the room but that didn't bother us as we didn't need it this time but I'm sure if we'd asked we would have been given one as the staff on the bar/restaurant were very friendly and good. They allowed us to go for a later breakfast which was fantastic and the food in the restaurant the night before was really tasty as was the breakfast of which there was a good amount of selection. We would stay again if in the area."

Loch Kinord Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely time at Loch Kinord. We especially enjoyed the hiking right from the property. Our cabin was cozy and perfect for our stay. The food in the restaurant was very enjoyable."

Argyle Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely B&B. Great hosts. Wonderful breakfast, with home made bread! Room was cosy. Shower was quirky but nice and hot. We would definitely stay here again"
