I posted this review 2 months ago since when it mysteriously disappeared. Here's the gist of what I wrote. The staff are friendly and helpful, the bar is good, the hotel is Ok but a little tired. The problem is the food. I know that the bar meals are cheap, but the quality of them and breakfasts is very low... more

We thought it was a fabby place and stopped for a drink and a bite to eat after a long walk with our dog. We got a really friendly welcome and our dog got a biscuit on arrival and departure :o). Very cosy in the bar area witha fantastic open fire, food was nice and good value for money and... more

This is strictly a review on the Bar/Restaurant. I have been in to the Cairn several times before whilst on holiday in recent years without any issues. This week I took my family for drinks and an evening meal. A rather surly barmaid eventually served me and charged a rather high price for the 4 drinks, which I politely queried.... more

Stayed here on business for 3 nights in September with a colleague. First of all the positives, Carrbridge is a lovely little village with some great scenery. The owners and staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you. It has free Wifi* and the hotel/rooms were very clean. The bar is popular with locals and has a pool... more

The bar meals were simple but of good quality and reasonably priced. There was a choice between specials of the day and the regular menu. I particularly enjoyed two... more

We spent a night here in May 2009, part way through quick a Highland break, and found the place ideal. A wee homely bar with nice locals, a quiet bedroom and even though we were early bedded we hardly heard a sound from the bar downstairs, and a good breakfast. Add to that the owners and staff who made us... more

After having researched a few b&b's, hotels etc in the Aviemore region, I decided I would give the Cairn Hotel a call. We only needed to stay one night. My husband our seven year old Daughter, my fourteen year old Son and Myself. We needed a family room. I had left the booking a bit late and as it was... more

We stayed for 3 nights and received excellent scottish hospitality! Very good value for money, food was lovely and our motorbike was also made welcome with undercover parking. Will hopefully be back!! & will certainly recommend to other biking friends. more

Travelling North to Caithness we decided to avoid an expensive and time-consuming detour into the traffic-jam of Inverness (or Aviemore) by stopping in the historic village of Carrbridge. Good call! The Cairn Hotel provided us with one of the best pit-stops on the A9 (or anywhere) I can ever remember. Even allowing for the fact that we were very hungry,... more
