We stayed art the Loch Kinord Hotel for two nights and we had an absolutely marvellous time with Andrew, Jenny and their staff. Our room was comfortable, cosy, the restaurant provided us with some of the most awesome meals we have eaten during our Scotland trip, and the welcome and customer care was friendly, efficient and really made us feel... more

I was working in the area and decided to stay over for one night at the Loch Kinord Hotel - Serendipity! I found the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. The bedroom I was allocated was a beautiful double room (even though I was by myself!). It had a flat screen TV which was perfect to watch the football. I went... more

As my husband is in a wheelchare we contacted the property directly having looked on their website. They were honest about not having disabled friendly rooms although we were informed there were ground floor rooms available. Hotel staff gave us every assistance in making the en suite suitable for my husband e.g. chair for the shower etc. The food was... more

We have just returned from a fantastic long weekend at the Loch Kinord hotel on a Dinner Bed & Breakfast basis, the owners and staff were friendly and most helpful. Debbie and Laura went about their duties always with a smile and nothing was too much trouble, Don the chef certainly knows his trade, the food and presentation was out... more

We made a very late booking for the Loch Kinord Hotel because our existing arrangements to celebrate a 60th birthday fell through when the ferry to Zeebrugge was cancelled due to bad weather. We were informed that the hotel was undergoing renovations and that the dining room was closed for dinners and were given a reduced rate as a result.... more

I've just returned from spending a lovely, snowy, Easter break in Cairngorm and myself and my partner stayed at the Loch Kinord Hotel in Dinnet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel where nothing was too much trouble, the staff were very friendly and Andrew, the owner, most helpful with recommended walks and areas to visit - he was... more

We arrived a little early to find that the owners had popped out and there was no access to the hotel, in fairness to them a quick call saw them coming back to let us in. The hotel was undergoing renovations which we were told about although the extent of those renovations were misrepresented. After our long journey north in... more

A real pitty that Mrs X from Boulton did not enjoy her stay as many others have - please see all reviews to get a better overview. The room was booked by her husband who was given all the information about renovation works (only in the lounge at this time). He also advised us they were going to be arriving...

We stayed at the Loch Kinord during an October trip to Scotland. We chose the hotel for the location (close to a nearby village where we were attending a wedding party) and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay. The inn has a warm, "homey" feel to it, and the inn keeper was always around to make us feel welcome. The... more

A fantastic hotel in lovely countryside. Excellent food and staff. One of the best we have stayed in. Lots to do in the area, and a nice walk round the Loch at the rear of the hotel. more
