Fantastic stay in a very welcoming hotel. Staff very accomodating and location great for exploring.
It's an older hotel, but I think that is part of its charm. I love the architecture of older places. My boyfriend and I loved the view from our window. We liked watching the storm come in the night we stayed. The elevator was down when we were there, but they were working to repair it. A buffet breakfast was included with our stay, and it was good. We didn't have dinner at the hotel so I can't speak to that. There were several restaurants within walking distance. We wanted to explore the town so walked to one of those. Staff was very friendly, and there was lots of room in the parking lot. I would stay there again should I revisit Scotland. ❤️
Good hotel, bar had some great ales and choice of malts. Breakfast great. Dinner good too although they forgot my intermediate course so had iy at thr end. Rooms and other facilities great too. Was very busy with bus tours when I was there. Great location too, I will stay here again.
Unfortunately this hotel needs updating as its decor was well worn. There were no dining options available when we arrived at 8pm but we managed to eat at a nearby hotel. The hotel receptionist was welcoming and helpful but the staff in the dining room for breakfast were unhelpful. Food options for breakfast were edible but not something i would recommend.
Never been in such a dirty room. The food was very poor not worth what they charge and no response from manager or the parent company (Cairngorm Travel) to complaints.
My advice would be to book and stay somewhere else.
One person liked to play the music on the tv or radio at 7am

I had booked a superior room, the room I was allocated certainly wasn't suprerior. There was no towels, the toilet hadn't been cleaned properly and the light in the bathroom flickered constantly, the switch was broken so could not be turned off. I reported these issues to reception, they were quick to bring the towels and clean the toilet, but there was nobody to repair the light.
The hotel could do with a bit TLC.
Hotellet er slidt helt ned. Gulvtæpper der er meget beskidte. Løst tapet både i fællesområder og på værelset. Specielt på værelset er tæppet så slidt at man ikke har lyst til at gå barfodet. Der manglede lampeskærme. På værelset var der spildt en stor rødvinsplet på væggen og bordet, og selv om vi gjorde opmærksom på dette lige efter check in blev det ikke rengjort i løbet af de 3 dages ophold.

Service at reception was excellent. Misunderstanding with booking was rectified with no problem. Dining room was disorganized. Meals were cold. Poor choice. Staff spent more time in kitchen. Didn't seem anyone was in charge. Went out second night to local hotel for meal and was exceptional. Hotel was busy with 3 coaches the second night. Noise from other residents in next room was unexcusable as between 10pm-12pm. On a recuperation break and just wanted peace and relaxation.

This hotel has a lot of potential. We were raced through our evening meal with hardly a gap between courses. The main meal was venison casserole which was delicious but it was served with overcooked frozen brussel sprouts and frozen peas and sweetcorn mixed which lowered the quality of the meal. The rest of the meal was ok. Some of the staff in the dining room were less than communicative. I love the hotels ambience and it could be excellent.

Would stay again
Staff were lovely - service staff at breakfast were top class and an asset to the hotel.
Room was great - bathroom modern, room spacious and beds comfortable.
Would stay again.
The view from our room was pleasant. The lift only went up to the second floor so we had to carry heavy suitcase up another flight of stairs to the 3rd floor.

Basic hotel.
Hotel fixtures and fittings overall we're dated. Carpet after the first floor are thread bare and grubby. Lift very slow. Room clean with tea and coffee making facilities and TV. Hand and bath towel each but not bath sheet size. Food mediocre. Good choice at breakfast but on the cold side.
Disappointed with the bar as there was no cucumber or lemon for my gin. I supplied my own 😜
Old school stately charm, the staff make an effort to provide a luxurious experience in this historically grand hotel. Great to have a bathtub, bathrooms have been renovated. Treats and coffee/tea provided in the room. Friendly and cozy pub for visitors and locals with full menu available. Grand, formal dining room and halls for guests. Typical Scottish decor, plaid carpets with random sections of scenic wallpaper amid beautiful old woodworking.
Apparently Queen Victoria stayed here while in Kingussie!
We loved our stay and the small town is gorgeous to walk.
Loved our stay.
Suggest pre-booking if you want to dine in the restaurant. We had a meal in the bar, it was,very nice although we felt the staff were a little stressed... can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe just that it was a bit late.

We liked our stay here and the folks working the front desk and breakfast were pleasant. There wasn’t any thing to do in the evening but go to the bar. The place is old and interesting. We slept great and there’s some great hiking right behind the hotel.
