    Came for a wedding and also stayed 3 nights. Beautiful Scottish castle located about 40 min from…read moreAberdeen airport. Best to grab a taxi from the airport to take you here. Drivers know that it is a common event space so they know how to get there, as it's kinda out there. Wedding venue - stunning. The atmosphere, backdrop, and like everything honestly was really stunning. Historic chapel is about a 10-15 min walk down the road and was a beautiful setting for an intimate wedding. Reception and other events were held in the castles common spaces and well executed by the castle team. Food, overall, was solid. There were some dishes that were much better than others, and only a couple dishes that were just okay. However, the team is very friendly and accomodating, and essentially advised us to treat the castle like out own home. Grounds also featured a few activities like scotch tasting and clay shooting, which were fun to partake in and unique to have available. Lodging venue - really nice venue overall for lodging. Castle is split into main building as well as east and west wings. There are countless bedrooms so you can definitely fit a bunch of people inside. Our room was west wing at the top. Very large with a comfortable bed and full closet to hang things up. We peaked at other rooms and they all varied - some were small, others medium.

    A billion stars for Drumtochty. Everything about our wedding was a hundred times better than we…read moreexpected it to be. The afternoon tea, the waitstaff, the food, the castle itself: they all blew us away. We had exactly one major issue and that's that the hot water went out the first night in the main castle, but we got it fixed in the morning and the wings still had hot water for everyone to use. Other than that, everything was absolutely perfectly executed and I'd recommend booking here to anyone who was looking. The team was top notch and everything was SO easy and smooth. None of our friends and family have had such a smooth experience with their weddings. Get married here. 1000/10. It's so amazing in person if you can't visit before booking just save the surprise for later. It's worth it.

    This review is for the "Grill Room Restaurant" only…read more We happened upon the Carrbridge Hotel on our road trip day heading from the Highlands down to Stirling. We got hungry while driving through Cairngorm National Park, so we got off the A9, ended up in Carrbridge, saw a sign about meals being served all day and stopped in. The dining room itself was nice and clean, and the gentleman working as bartender and server was quite friendly. The menu is varied, including traditional Scottish fare, pasta, Indian dishes, and kebabs. I ordered the Cullen Skink-- a thick, potato-based fish soup similar to clam chowder-- and it was delicious. My husband tried the spicy beef kebab and said it wasn't spicy and the garlic mayo was odd, but that the beef itself was great. I can't speak to the hotel itself, but if you find yourself in this bit of the Highlands, this is a good place to stop for a quick bite to eat.

    From the owner: The Carrbridge Hotel, set in the magnificent Spey Valley, is ideally situated, due to its central…read moregeographical location, for exploring the Highlands. Strathspey and Badenoch provide a wealth of facilities and attractions throughout the year for the whole family. Golfing, loch or river fishing, horse riding, hill walking, mountain biking, canoeing and wind surfing are just some of the vast range of activities available close by. Aviemore Mountain Resort, at the foot of the Cairngorms, is one of Scotland's leading ski resorts and is only a 20 minutes drive.
