Had a great stay at the Carn Mhor. Adrian is a great host and nothing is too much trouble. Super breakfasts to get us going for the day. Highlights for us this stay were the e-bikes from In your Element and lake dipping with sauna at Loch Inch. The perfect way to experience the Cairngorms:)

Lovely B&B and Adrian was a terrific host. Breakfasts were amazing and rooms comfortable. Only thing I wasn't keen on was the private bathroom being downstairs from the bedroom. Would perhaps select a different room if I stayed again.

We stayed for one night at Carn Mhor B&B, in late April. The stay I cannot fault. Upon arrival we were shown to our room, and they were great. The views from both rooms were really good and the beds were very comfy. Breakfast was also fantastic with a real range of options.The host was extremely welcoming and would definitely recommend!!
