“The nearby vegetarian spots are a real find – Bross Bagels served a cracking bagel and Cairngorm Coffee Co was perfect for a relaxed cuppa. Our Standard Double Room was just right, and the shower was brilliantly spacious.”

“The staff were welcoming and the room was spotless. Having a microwave and coffee machine made the stay extra comfortable, and the location, just 2 km from the train station, was a big plus.”
