    Friendly, welcoming staff, room was warm, comfortable and spotless and food was excellent.

    10SabinePosted on: 1-5-2026

    A lovely place to stay. Very comfy beds and the Tunnocks bars were a nice touch. The food was excellent too and we couldn't ask for a more yummy breakfast!! Also notable is the very reasonable kids menu with great quality food (which is sadly not always the case). We'll be back!

    Bathroom ventilation needs fixing.

    10JasperPosted on: 1-4-2026

    Scenic location, quieter than main town but only a short drive from the slopes and lochs. Excellent, very friendly and helpful staff, excellent food and great range at the bar with nice local beers on tap.

    9DanielPosted on: 1-1-2026

    Great breakfast and evening meals

    WiFi comes and goes

    9IanPosted on: 12-1-2025

    Easy check-in at Pub, which has good food and Real Ales. Staff was very sweet to my dog.

    8LaurenPosted on: 11-16-2025

    the location for our stay was perfect, staff were lovely, room was clean and a great size. Breakfast was lovely.

    the bathroom was on a slight slope so wasnt ideal but you get used to it. there isn't alot to do around the area but a 10min drive and theres lots to do.

    9AlistairPosted on: 11-10-2025

    Breakfast very good

    Door to my room, Garten, needs improving.

    6RickPosted on: 11-4-2025

    Location, good evening food, staff

    Bathroom lights didn't work, big party in bar - pleasant folk, but loud. Breakfast was ok but limited

    9DavidPosted on: 11-2-2025

    I always feel at home at the Cairn. True Scottish hospitality at its best, with a very warm welcome. Tastefully decorated rooms. Very good choice of breakfast.

    4LaurentPosted on: 10-29-2025

    Disappointing

    It wasn’t very clean.The toilets are outside the bedroom.The mattress is a bit tired to say the least.

    8JanePosted on: 10-29-2025

    Another great stay at Cairn Hotel. Friendly, welcoming staff, comfy, clean bed and thee best breakfast. Hope to be back again soon. Ideal location for walking and set in beautiful countryside. Handy for Aviemore, Speyside and Inverness.

    Couldn't get the taps/plug to work in bath - might just have been me though!

    9JuliePosted on: 10-27-2025

    Lovely location, very welcoming and helpful staff, bar area great atmosphere, lovely food, with great range of options and excellent breakfast available from 7.30 am which was very handy.

    The bathroom in the room could do with a bit of a refurb.

    8RobertPosted on: 10-26-2025

    Superb porridge for breakfast. Had everything we needed.

    Bed partially blocking door from opening fully.

    5KarenPosted on: 10-25-2025

    Friendly staff, room was clean, decent breakfast, dog friendly

    Small room even for one. Radiator broken so room was cold. I had to go and ask about this and was told there was a small electric heater in the wardrobe. This did, eventually, heat the room, but it took a while. Room was cold again in the morning. Shower cubicle too small. Shower eventually heated up but went cold after few minutes before heating up again, etc. The water would be at full spray then trickle through, then full spray again. Absolute faff. Mattress was Not good quality. Hardly slept. Not really good enough. Won't be back.

    10TerezaPosted on: 10-23-2025

    They upgraded me to a double room. It was warm, the shower was really nice. The provided hot chocolate was amazing.

    7RajPosted on: 10-20-2025

    Very friendly staff. Food excellent.

    Unfortunately radiator in my room had a damaged regulator. The shower only uses cold water. When you turn switch to hot/warm it cuts off. Had to wash at sink. I didn't mention this at check out as nice lady was taking my payment and getting back to guests requiring breakfast.

    9JohnPosted on: 10-11-2025

    Stayed in the hotel rooms next to the main hotel, the room was clean and comfortable and had everything I needed. Hotel pub was cosy and a lovely pint. Would book again if I return to the area.
