Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms with big bathtubs that are clean and comfortable. The service was top-notch with a historic ambiance in the main building. Its location is perfect for exploring the Caingorms. While the dining options were good, the prices were a bit high. Overall, a great value for a stay in Kingussie.
The hotel is tucked away in a lovely wooded area, offering picturesque views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms overlook a charming garden with rabbits, although they could use more natural light. The service is attentive but may rush through plate clearing at times. The location, just above the village, provides a delightful escape but lacks blackout blinds. The dining experience is a mix of highs and lows, with delicious options but small portions. The facilities are adequate, with room for improvement in some areas.
The hotel had rooms styled in a way that added to the holiday experience. It was listed as pet-friendly, and I found a room available even on a busy weekend. The room was spacious and clean, although not exactly as pictured in the listing.
