I absolutely LOVED the water pressure of this motel. Accommodations are simple, and can appear to some outdated, however it provides basic comfort you need for a few or some days of stay. Beds were comfortable, room clean and spacious. Extra seating space available. The room does have a tea kettle, a few instant coffee packets, and a small refrigerator. There are no options for breakfast on site, however restaurants nearby are easily accessible by foot and/or car. It is quiet and pleasant. I will definitely stay here again. :)

The hotel is in an old building but beautifully renovated. The rooms are clean, nice and refreshingly designed and decorated, the shower is large and spacious and the bed is really comfortable and big, we had a great night sleep. Close to the beautiful town of Aviemore where you can find restaurants, Cafe’s, stores and supermarkets. We stayed for one night only but could stay much longer! Very recommended!

Absolutely everything!! The room and bathroom were wonderful, the breakfast was cooked to order and had everything we needed, the location was ideal for walks in the Cairngorms, and the hosts were super friendly. Nick welcomed us at the door when we arrived and waved us goodbye when it was time to leave. Definitely visiting again in the future!

Stunning views! Beautifully made log cabin nestled on the hill side overlooking the Loch Insh. The pictures don’t do justice for this place. It very well exceeded our expectations. Truely Highlands feel … The staff were amazing and very friendly. One morning when we were having breakfast outside the chalet, one of the restaurant staff stopped by for a chat and offered to take a photo of our family.

I enjoyed our autumn hikes both close to the lodge and further away in the national park. Fall foliage was gorgeous and great October weather. Our favorite meal in Aviemore was at Delaney's, a nice restaurant on the opposite end of town from the lodge. Though we have a rental car, we walked to restaurants and used the car for short trips to more hiking and to nearby villages. I particularly enjoyed a visit to Nethy Bridge and a charming restaurant, the Nethy House Cafe. If I ever return to the area, I would consider using that town as a base just as an alternative.

The countryside in autumn was spectacular. There are lots of local walks to suit different levels of fitness. The Spey is nearby so iconic itself and for the whisky distilleries along its banks. Interesting local shops. Fresh local produce. Nice folk. Close enough for trips to the Moray Coast and Cairngorms. Golf, fishing, garden nurseries all in easy reach.

Kingussie is ideal for people who want beautiful walks or a bit of climbing or cycling. There’s a fantastic bike shop called Bothy Bikes where you can hire e- bikes to explore the area. The scenery in this area is outstandingly beautiful. There is the potential to see local wildlife if you are quiet.

Boat of Garten is a small village which has some good features and services, including a pub, a village store, pizza shop, art gallery and historic railway station. It is well located in relation to forest walks and other outdoor activities. For any significant shopping you needs to travel nearby Aviemore, 4.5 miles away. We preferred the peace and quiet of Boat of Garten for our stay in the area.

Nestled amongst the mountains with paths and tracks leading all over what’s not to like? Sadly, the general facilities here have gone. No shop for example. One place did have a sign out for coffee, but there could be an opportunity here for someone. Worth climbing up the Cateran Trail heading south to get stunning views looking down on the village. Also visit the stone circle, old bridge and the church. Just soak up the atmosphere!

Very disappointing stay.

Very disappointing stay. Staff were rude and unhelpful - especially at breakfast. Dining staff Bella’s behaviour was shockingly unprofessional and not acceptable. Dirty, smelly rooms, one with a broken bed. Complaints were brushed off with a simple “sorry.” We booked 4 rooms for family visiting from Canada and deeply regret choosing this hotel. Definitely not worth the 4-star rating.
