B&B style stay

Nice B&B style stay, decently clean with the exception of stains on the rug and sheets. Check in was easy and staff friendly. Breakfast options were included and had nice selection. Staff working breakfast provided barely mediocre and somewhat rude service- seemed annoyed when taking order, food not cooked/delivered as ordered, after finishing food asked if there were to-go cups for my coffee and was advised there was coffee in my room (instant packs and water from the bathroom sink). I then asked if I could just have a bit more in my coffee cup and was told they would have to check to see if there was any coffee made (with many others having just arrived to eat). At that point decided to leave and purchase coffee at a local coffee shop.

A lovely guest house in the Cairngorms

This is a lovely guest house - very well appointed and comfortable. The owner is extremely helpful and the breakfast was excellent. Travelers arriving on the train should note that the guest house is approximately 6/10 of a mile from the train station. It is not a difficult walk but could be trying in bad weather.

Warm welcome from the host Mark who provided us with all the info we needed for our stay. Room was very clean, nicely decorated and had all we needed. Our only issue was that the room was small and there was limited space for our suitcases. Breakfast was spot on! Good quality food served to the table. Good value for money.

We got delayed in getting to Aviemore before the check in time. The owner was very gracious and set up our room and gave us the code to the door. Breakfast was good but it’s not self service for the fruit, yogurt and juices. You’ll need to find a staff person to get it for you. The location was great for walking and lots of food choices nearby.

We were a big party of 10 and we had a great time staying with you guys. We did ask on the second morning if we could all eat breakfast in the conservatory area and were told no we had to sit at our allocated tables, this did seem a bit strange but it did not detract from our enjoyment . Mark is a marvellous host

This is a perfect place for a stay during a visit to the Highlands/Inverness/Cairngorms National Park. We stayed with our children. The breakfast was delicious. Mark our host was super helpful upon arrival and was extremely accommodating. The guest house was so clean and well furnished. We enjoyed the use of the front living room area. We also were able to do some laundry which was great. I would highly recommend this guest house!
