This was the first time I had stayed in the hotel, although I have eaten there on many occasions. Always good service from the staff, the room was nice, bed comfy and good water pressure in the shower so no complaints. I'm not sure if other rooms have a separate shower, but I'm getting to a certain age where I would prefer walking into a shower and not stepping in a bath. A couple of USB sockets in the room would also be handy. Would I recommend and stay again, yes.

We popped in for a drink but stayed for dinner. Generous portions of well cooked food at a reasonable price.I highly recommend the 3-cheese macaroni (comes with garlic bread and a fresh & varied salad).

We took my sister and nephew there for dinner. Had a fabulous evening. Short wait in the bar first before getting our table. The food was amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend this venue to everyone

There was not much of the promised 'warm and friendly welcome' when we arrived.  …

We had a beautiful meal here, the mussels and the venison casserole were amazing, the others in the group had the burger and it also looked great with no complaints. The menu is varied, reasonable for the quality and the beer choice was also good. Well worth a visit if your in aviemore. I would maybe advise booking at the weekends as it gets busy!

We've only been to the restaurant, the food is excellent, the servers (breakfast tall and aggressive ladies) make comments after every customer that leaves, I.e. "they like to make a mess", making gestures like they're about to throw up, not very friendly with tourists, They got into the wrong job. We've tidied up our table to help them, but still, we've received comments. What?!
