Friendly and helpful staff in a nice clean establishment made for a very enjoyable stay. Room facilities more than adequate and lovely and warm :) Bar food was to a good standard, a decent selection for a short stay too. Lovely open fire to warm up by whilst eating your fare and recovering from the days activities!

Second stay at the Cairn, and it's all around delightful. The food is excellent, the decoration, and you have the village pub right under the same roof! We had a blast at the Friday evening live music and enjoyed exploring around the area. Can't wait to go back.

The rooms are clean and comfortable. I like the caramel wafer in the rooms as a wee Scottish classic. Staff are always great people, very personable and human giving a lovely feeling to the place. The bar and the fire have a cosy and warm atmosphere, with great real ales on tap. Breakfast has the classics, and sets you up for the day well.
