We had lunch here on Sunday, at a very busy Sunday lunch time, with family including two elderly aunts. I was a bit doubtful that, with such an extensive menu, the quality of food might suffer. I need not have worried! There was a wonderful choice including a 'seniors' menu with smaller portions suitable for those with smaller appetites. They... More

4 of us Englishmen stayed here for two nights. We were walking in the hills for two days (Braeriach-reccommended) . Staff were plentiful and all were v. helpful from bar staff, to waitresses, to reception, to breakfast servers. Live music in the bar was a hoot (both nights) We didn't actually eat here but food looked excellent , rooms were... More

Just got back from staying at Cairngorm Hotel Aviemore and it was a delightful time. Hotel is in the centre of Aviemore, very clean although some refurbishment wouldn't go amiss. Staff exceptionally friendly and professional especially Rhona on reception and Gerry in the bar. Rooms good and food excellent. They have entertainment every night except Sunday. Would thoroughly recommend this... More

Just back from a terrific week in Aviemore. Had two fantastic meals at the Cairngorm Hotel. "Well fed" is an understatement!! The quality of the food is outstanding, the menu selection so extensive, you could eat there every week of the year and still be able to select a different dish! The staff, as always, are friendly, professional and make... More

We have recently visited Aviemore for a short break, and we had dinner here. You don't have to book a table, however we had to wait 20 minutes for one, need to say it was a busy Saturday night. Alright, the menu looked nice, great Scottish dished, not too pricey , reasonable. However after starters we had to wait at... More

This period hotel has a great location. We got off the train and just walked across the road to the hotel! We stayed for 4 nights in a clean 2nd floor comfortable bedroom on the front with a good view of the mountains and overlooking the road and the railway station. However, it was quiet, only light traffic noise, and... More

Superb hotel - gorgeous food, a cracking bar serving outstanding real ales, lovely decor. Staff could not be more friendly and helpful. All the family loved this hotel and want to go back. Could not be in a better location in Aviemore - ideal for skiers wanting to enjoy Cairngorm.

Reception staff quite friendly, morning staff for breakfast very grumpy. It's a great location, but tired interior. Suspect management has changed in recent times, in our experience it was lazy management trading on its location and reputation. Light switches in room which just don't work (labelled obsolete) and the icing on the cake was a flush which didn't work. Reported... More

This is the second time that we have had dinner in this hotel when staying in Aviemore. Huge portions, delicous food and great value for money. We also stayed in the hotel bar one night as there was a singer on who was fabulous and great deals on the alcohol. A great time enjoyed by all :)
