This is a review of the restaurant only which was interesting. The place itself is located away from the main area of Aviemore and it has a pretty country setting. Inside, the decor of the restaurant wasn't cozy or intimate. They had really large tables set for two people - just an awkward arrangement. Our server was friendly and we appreciated that they accommodated our request to have a salad as a starter, since it wasn't on their menu. The salad itself was actually quite good. For dinner, I had the aubergine and my partner had the burger. Both were OK - but nothing special. We had also ordered a Bloody Mary and the server came back with the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and pepper and asked us to mix it ourselves. Just a very interesting experience... read more

Our tour group made a stop at the restaurant for lunch during our Scotland trip. We had some delicious scotch broth and scones. Service was so prompt and the food was delicious. It's a cozy restaurant with friendly staff. Afterwards, some of us were treated to a scone making demo and were given the recipe for their delicious scones. Some others in the group sat outside in the patio to relax while others went for a short walk in the field next to the restaurant. The restaurant is in a great location and definitely worth a stop. Would love to visit again some day. read more

Stayed here for 2 nights just after New Years and had an amazing stay. The dinner here is just wonderful and the young blond lady was absolutely amazing both nights. She was super friendly and attentive and we had a good laugh with her. The food here lovely. Both the included breakfast and the pay for dinner in the evening. There is a formal dining area, but if you are a guest at the hotel you can take your food at one of the small tables near the bar and you can also take your drinks to the fireplace in the living room. We had a wonderful time having a few drinks and playing a number of the board games that are supplied. The rooms here are very comfortable with goose down duvets and tea/coffee services provided. With the excellent food and the comfortable lodgings, I would happily recommend this place for anyone staying in the Aviemore area. read more

Stayed here for 2 nights in June and really enjoyed the food. The bar has an excellent whisky arsenal as well as a couple of local ales. The dinner service was very impressive. The seating format is a little different: you make a reservation and are seated in a lounge area where you place your order. You wait and enjoy a drink until your food is ready, at which point you're seated in the dining room. The presentation of dishes was a cut above my expectations. Each dish was layered and sauced impeccably. I particularly liked the duck breast. read more
