Cairngorm Hotel

Great place to eat! We stayed at the McDonald’s resort and found it hard to pass the Cairngorm hotel for food because we’ve had such good experiences in the past. Nevertheless, we had a walk around Aviemore to see what else was on offer. We decided to go back to what we know and trust. Very clean. Staff very attentive, really good menu and very generous portions! 2 of our group had the loin of Venison and raved about it. I had the chicken stuffed with black pudding and peppercorn sauce. Really good! We didn’t get the name of the fantastic guy who served us both lunch and dinner on Wednesday (after having lunch, there was only place we wanted to go back for dinner). Thank you very much, from the table of 5 that day!

We had a midweek stay here for one night without the kids. Excellent location. The room was brilliant along with all staff. Very spacious room and a comfy bed. The bar was great in the evening with live music. Evening meal was top quality and the breakfast was as good as i have had in any hotel. Will be returning and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking at booking it. Bang in the centre of Aviemore also.

Loved this hotel room comfy and clean . Staff all helpful . Food amazing wee could not get over the lovely breakfast and lovely evening meal delicious 💯 Staff were lovely at breakfast service pleasant and cheerful time to speak to guests while serving . Evening staff also pleasant and attentive. Location great with parking . So relaxed. Did not want to leave . We will return at some point .

This hotel is directly across from the train station but I did not hear the train at night. I booked two king size rooms for our party. Both rooms were spacious with a large window. One room required a sizeable step up to access the bathroom, the other room did not. I could hear people passing by my room at night, but I did not hear noise from adjacent rooms. The highlight of my stay was the breakfast which we purchased as an add on. It’s a massive feast with so much selection. The service in the dining room was excellent. The food was also excellent. We had a drink in the pub the night we arrived. The pub was part of the hotel and it appeared to have a good mix of locals and hotel guests. This hotel had a lot of character (hunting lodge vibe) - you won’t get a chain hotel experience. I do like chain hotels and the consistency of experience they offer but this was a totally different experience that we welcomed for a change. I recommend this hotel and splurging for the breakfast; you likely won’t need lunch!

Perfect! Position is perfect! Rooms are spotlessly clean! And the bed and pillows are beyond comfortable! Staff lovelee and the food superb! Fantastic breakfast! And the bar staff are brilliant!! Can’t fault it! Beyond beautiful in every way!!

Went for dinner with family for my two year olds birthday and honestly the service was just outstanding. Alan, our waiter, went above and beyond. We asked for the childrens meals to be ordered and to come out ASAP, and that they did. They also came out with a birthday cake for my boy and candles singing happy birthday. On top of that all our food was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back! Thanks again!

We stayed here from 29th September for my wife's 65th birthday in the lovely room that looks over to the station. Can't praise the staff enough. At dinner they appeared with a lovely cake with candles for my wife. On our next night they seated us at the table on its own in the turret which was smashing. Food was amazing well cooked and piping hot. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

Came here for dinner and couldn't complain at anything. All the staff were lovely, the food was huge portions and excellent quality for the price range, and great wee atmosphere. Would recommend it to friends and be back in future.

Very busy and atmospheric restaurant and bar. Good traditional Scottish fayre. No reservations taken so be prepared to wait for a table. We asked for the dining room as we were celebrating our dad's 80th bday while visiting for the w/e. To our great surprise a bagpiper walked into the dining room and made his way over as the waitresses brought out a cake. We were totally shocked. What a fabulous surprise. Worth a visit for sure.

Glad we opted for this. Lasagna haggis was great, venison was very tender, and steak, mushroom ale pie was tasty. Dessert? White lady and strawberries and cream topped it off nicely.

Been here a few times now and always get a good feed. Go here if you want to experience old school Highlands. It's old fashioned and very tartan, with stag heads and suits of armour. Me and my friends were staying in aviemore so decided on going here for dinner. When we arrived there was a wedding going on, which was a bit strange as it is a small hotel so you kind of felt a little in the way of the wedding. You can't book a table but the turn around is quick so you don't need to wait long. I picked the hot poached salmon and opted to pay about £4 more to get added king prawns. It came with broccoli and tatties. I was too full after for dessert. Good place for good Scottish food with a good Scottish feel..

I have now been here twice, both times for the buffet on a Thursday night. It starts at 6pm, and I would recommend getting there sharp, as it quickly fills up. When we were getting ready to leave, there was already a 30-40 minute wait for spare tables. The food is excellent, with soup to start, and then you can pick from what you want from the buffet. There's a good range of food, and it's definitely easy to fill your plate. Highly recommended for a Thursday night.

A total surprise , we had tried a number of the places in Aviemore , the idea of going into a hotel for food was not on our radar but having little choice we tried our luck . Okay it was very traditional but I was more than impressed by the quality and value of the food . The menu was extensive compared to other places in the town . The food was excellent and I don't think I have ever had any better service . Definitely a must to visit .

Best service we've had in the U.K. Fast, friendly, paying attention. Noticed things before we asked, and actually came back to check on us. Seated quickly and served quickly, even though the restaurant was busy. Only minor complaints were the glass of orange juice was maybe 3/4 full, and the rest half full of ice, and the flatware storage is in the dining room, so every time the staff sorts through it to reset a table (frequently) you can't hear your dining companion from a foot away. So glad we drove the 15 minutes to eat here. Great food (very tasty) and extensive menu too!
