Arrived at a beautiful looking hotel from the outset to be very warmly greeted by Myra the hotel owner. The hotel was very traditional and unique looking from the front and we was very impressed. Myra showed us to our room a very friendly lovely lady that you can tell takes alot of care and attention to her hotel and... More

We arrived without reservations and warmly welcomed and were shown 2 different rooms, of which both were very spacious, nice and clean. The rooms had king sized beds which we had not experienced in other establishments during our 7 day tour of Scotland. We enjoyed the garden area with a glass of wine and the breakfast we had the next... More

Thank you so much for your very kind comments. We are glad you enjoyed your short stay with us and we hope to see you again in the future. It was very nice looking after you. If you were in the garden today you’d have melted, its over 30 degrees. More

Having driven through Kingussie on a previous trip we decided to return there for a week-end. We thought we'd found a nice place, going by the photos on the website, however, our opinion quickly changed on arrival. The 'outside' room we were given was very dated to say the least and heaven only knows when it had last been cleaned... More

I can assure you my experienced Scottish Chambermaid is very thorough and we are more than happy with the quality of her work. I can't imagine what a smell could be in the room unless it is from the cleaning equipment i.e. flash, domestos ,pledge etc. which she uses. Teds on the beds and ducks and boats on the bath... More

The rooms themselves were nice and clean but as I family we found that the food was overpriced for what you got. For the four nights we stayed, we found ourselves having to go to the local fish and chip shop or another hotel down the road for food. Also be careful what you store in your room or else... More

We have a quality Restaurant and Hotel. All our dishes are freshly prepared and we take great pride in serving excellent meals and our good reputation is wide spread and well known for over 26 years. We have cheaper items on the menu but these Guests obviously preferred fish and chips and to try other cheaper establishments for dinner. Sadly... More

We chose this hotel largely for supposed dog friendlness and for convenience for meeting with friends for a long weekend. A good wait until we were attended to on arrival. Proprietor over familiar - straight onto first name terms but after that she virtually ignored my partner. Room, off an outside courtyard, was cold and radiators were turned off. The... More

We aim to be at reception to greet every arrival and if we are not at reception we run so as not to keep anyone waiting. We always apologise even if they have not really been waiting at all. We know a warm welcome is very important on arrival at a Hotel and that is our policy. When Guests have... More

Well me and my partner only stayed at columba house for one night however it was brilliant. We were welcomed straight away by Myra with excellent hospitality. We booked a 4 poster room and it was lovely, massive comfy bed, clean and tidy room and bathroom, oh and a really big double bath. We also dined here and the food... More

This was nice little place that has lots of potential and they are getting there. There is a lot of effort put in by the owners and the welcome is very friendly and personal. The lounge area is lovely and cosy and the breakfast was lovely and in a very pleasant garden room. The bedroom I had was very small... More

We always offer an upgrade to a double en-suite room for single occupancy at the time of booking, if the reservation is made on line I always email... More

I had read the reviews after my husband booked and was a bit concerned but I don't think you should be. Thankfully no teddy bear but there were a couple of rubber duckies, which isn't exactly offensive and considering they own lovely real life ducks it seemed themed. But the rooms are a bit dated, lace dollies and old decor... More

We were really disappointed with our stay at the Columba House Hotel. We had booked as a special treat for a night away and thought we were getting a country house hotel style experience. However whilst the booking process and check in was very efficient, we felt that there were lots of small but important details that we would expect,... More

We do not put in the tiny bottles or horrid sachets, of shower gel and soap as they clutter. We buy Imperial Leather 2-in-1 as it is a handier size bottle lots more to use and does not clutter. Same with the Palmolive, much better than a tiny bar of soap. We resent the intimation that these are left from... More
