Cairngorm Hotel

Never experienced such a tiny bedroom, more like a cupboard. Staff on reception, not particularly welcoming, whereas bar staff were excellent. Can’t book the restaurant, so an hours wait until a table was offered to us . Residents have no priority over non residents as regards to a table in the restaurant, so we went elsewhere. Very disappointing experience, would not recommend this hotel to anyone

The hotel was very clean, tidy, and warm .The staff were very lovely and always on hand with fast service. |Breakfast was delicious 😋. Dinner was the same .The Christmas dinner had 5 courses to it and was very delicious. Yum |The hotel was handy for lovely walks with our dogs 🐕 |The bar in the hotel was nice, but on 26th December 2024, last night of our stay, music was loud as we had room above it due to us having two small dogs .|We would recommend this to our friends and family .|Thank you again to the staff Julie ,Ben ,Rob ,Fiona xxx

Stayed here for one night. We had the triple room, that was very clean and comfortable. Although the hotel mentions that the room is above the bar and get noisy, we didn't hear any disturbance and had a good sleep. The room didn't have A/C but had a radiator which we can control for adjusting the heating. The bath was very good which had all the toiletries and towels. The staff were helpful and courteous. We had both dinner and breakfast at the Hotel's restaurant. Both the food and the service were excellent. The hotel has parking at the rear and the front, it was busy but we managed to find a space. Location is right in front of the Aviemore railway station. The only minor point is that there is no lift but its just 2 flight of stairs and we didn't mind that.

This hotel is by far one of the best hotels we have stayed in. ||The welcoming and attentive cheerful staff are second to none from front of house, waiters/waitresses, bar staff and last but certainly not least the housekeepers all worthy of praise.||The Christmas Day meal was outstanding and staff worked tirelessly. ||We ate every evening in the restaurant, again cooked to perfection and such a varied menu. Breakfasts were equally good.||The hotel was beautifully decorated in traditional Scottish style.||I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here and will definitely be back.

Had dinner here and a few drinks the the bar, the food was beautiful, service was amazing and the singer on Friday night was superb! We were lucky enough to have a seat by the fire on sat and it was lovely! Such a great wee place can't wait to come backA

Didn't stay here, but stopped into the pub and restaurant. No booking so we waited 40mins and had a few pints in the pub. The food was really nice, better than we imagined! Traditional Scottish dishes, I had the venison-cooked to perfection👌 Only let down was the service, waitress was lovely but they were definitely understaffed. Waiting for ages to be checked on/plates cleared-Never got the water we asked for, and instead of ice cream with the toffee pudding got just cream.

Visited the hotel on three nights of our four day break in Aviemore. Ate in the restaurant a couple of times. Service outstanding and reminiscent of a bygone time when customer service was paramount. Food superb and definitely not overpriced. The adjoining bar was warm and cosy and had entertainment on most evenings be it live music or a quiz night. Can highly recommend the quiz every Tuesday evening - great fun. Will definitely be back

Amazing stay, lovely room,beautiful food. Wonderful atmosphere in the bar and entertainment. Loved everything about this place. Thank you

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!
