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 staff were helpful and friendly from the moment I arrived. I had lovely clean comfortable room which was serviced every day. The atmosphere in the bar was great, as was the food and breakfast was freshly cooked when you ordered it. There was even a place undercover to park my motorbike. I enjoyed my stay immensely and won’t hesitate to return.

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!

The Cairn Hotel is a lovely hotel in a great location, with friendly and helpful staff throughout my stay. Whilst my room wasn’t en-suite, my private toilet was 2 steps across the corridor - not big deal, but remember your key otherwise you're locked out of your room Dinner was excellent from a well appointed menu, I had the haggis lasagne which was very well presented, generously portioned, and served efficiently. The bar is adjacent and is very well stocked with a good selection of wines, beers & spirits, I had an excellent well poured Guinness that hit the spot after a long day. Breakfast, absolutely outstanding, possibly one of the best planed breakfasts for a long time.
