Wonderful

Staff were friendly and helpful, location handy and beautiful, with red squirrels nearby and nesting house martins. My only suggestion would be that - as we should be reducing meat and dairy consumption for environmental reasons - vegetarian breakfast should be the norm.
The room were fabulous and clean . The staff were great . We had prepaid breakfast continental £7 cereal, toast, Butter and Jams, small yogurts and fruit juice coffee and tea not worth £7 each. Full breakfast £9 . Bacon sausage beans and black pudding.
The kitchen area or all to use was fab used it some nights . The meals on the the menu were £9 for the main meal good size portion.
Very conveniently located near multiple hiking routes, and right in front of the bus stop from/to Aviemore. Very clean and comfortable, and the receptionist was very helpful and friendly!
