Room was spacious with comfortable bed and tartan touches on curtains and bedcover. The en-suite was basic but clean.The restaurant was positioned with a good view, and the food was good.The bar and lounge were very relaxing. We travelled with a group on a tour, and stayed for 3 nights. There were some lovely walks nearby.

We stayed here while on an organised train/coach holiday. The hotel has undergone a great deal of refurbishment, and infact is not completed as yet, no curtains/pictures in public areas. The reception area is lovely, bright, clean and tastefully decorated. Our bedroom was freshly painted with a firm clean bed, a brand new shower in the (over heated) bathroom. The staff on the whole were helpful although waiting staff should realise the importance of "service with a smile". The food was edible but uninspiring. The chef would appear to cook as though it is still 1970! A full Scottish breakfast, a slice of bacon, a tastless chipolata sausage, fried egg, half a tomato and half a slice of fried bread was disapointing to say the least. The evening meal meat/fish/poultry wise was okay but all the vegetables appeared tired/re-heated and not worth eating. Although on the Dessert menu every evening the speciallity "Cloutie Dumpling" was always unavailable. Overall though fairly good value for money.

I arranged a group stay (around thirty rooms) at the hotel, and we had it pretty-much to ourselves. I had read the reviews already posted and was a little apprehensive at the prospect of the stay, but it turned out to be perfectly acceptable... to me at least.
The staff were brilliant, and helped us at every turn. Admittedly without them and their cooperation and assistance, the fabric of the building would be likely to sour a stay there. The owner (a new owner, incidentally) needs to shell out a few grand to replace carpets, especially the stair-carpet which is worn into holes in places, and to paint the chipped skirting boards and so forth.
It's worth remembering that any hotel furnishings get a lot of abuse and a lot of traffic, so it's really not fair to expect them not to show it.
The hotel doesn't have the gloss of some more modern buildings, and it's true that the bathrooms in most rooms are afterthoughts (remember when it was built, after all. Even the Vanderbilts' Biltmore House doesn't have en-suite in many of the bedrooms, and it is from the same period), so if you're looking for soulless rows of identical rooms leading off an arrow-straight corridor, then it's not the place for you... but on the other hand, hell mend you.
It's got character, it's got charm, it's got first-rate staff and first-rate food, so if you find there's a damp patch on your bathroom ceiling, I suggest you remind yourself that it's not YOUR ceiling, and that you don't have to fix it.

Would I go back? I almost certainly will.

I booked a round trip in Scotland and the travel agent choosed the Craiglynne Hotel.

Because of the mixed reviews in Trip Advisor I was courious to see the hotel with my own eyes.

Let me say it right away: I liked this hotel very much. It is charming, clean and comfortable. The temperature in the room was perfect. I had no problem at all with the water in the shower.

We had breakfast and dinner included in the package and I was surprised by the quality and quantity of both! Dinner and breakfast was served by very polite staff which were very efficient too.

It is true that some of the furniture should be repaired, to say the least. It is true that the shower cabin will cause problems to everyone higher than 1,8 meters because it is not high. Finally you can hear people when they walk in the room above yours. Personally, I always wear earplugs when I travel just to be sure that noise will not be an issue when I want to sleep. But it was true for me too, that when I stayed there a majority of the people were over 60 years old. This means that the evenings are very quiet :-)

I think that £110 for a double room inclusive breakfast and dinner seams an ok price in such an expensive country. On the other hand I dont know how much does it cost to stay at other hotels in Grantown on Spey so do your research if you are not convinced.
As I said, I found it very charming!
