Staying at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a nice surprise, spacious, and equipped with all the expected facilities, although cleanliness could have been better and the breakfast fell short. However, the modernity and comfort of the rooms stood out as strengths.

The location offered great views and was easy to find, with convenient access to enjoyable walks. The hotel's proximity to a steam train station added charm, but it could benefit from better catering options to enhance the overall experience.

Dining was a mixed bag. While the quality was lacking, probably due to discounted rates, the self-service coffee didn't meet expectations. However, the meal was passable despite not being exceptional.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though small, were clean and had a nice traditional-modern design. Unfortunately, there were bed bugs present. The service was attentive and friendly overall. The location was great for local attractions, with views across the steam train railway station. However, there were issues with cleanliness, comfort, and facilities. The dining experience was not satisfactory, and prices seemed high for what was offered.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with a lovely view of the mountains, but the soundproofing was lacking. The service was mostly friendly and accommodating, with a few hiccups. The location was fantastic for exploring the Cairngorms, but there were some issues with the dining options. Overall, a decent stay with both positives and negatives.

I stayed in a junior suite with a beautiful view of the mountains. However, the extra beds were sofa beds, which might not be suitable for older kids.

The staff at the hotel were generally pleasant and helpful, though there were instances of inexperience and unfriendliness. They did arrange for a fan in the room promptly when requested.
Location

The hotel is situated in the heart of the Cairngorms, surrounded by rivers, walks, distilleries, and forests. Perfect for exploring the area.

The dining experience had room for improvement. While the options were somewhat limited, considering the price, it was acceptable but could be better.
