Cairn Hotel

Great value, good food, well...

Liked: We were a bit stuck trying to find accommodation in Inverness that wasn't astronomically priced due to an event. Found Cairn Lodge that didn't require us to have a mortgage for an overnight stay and it was a good find. Really friendly staff and lovely food. We had some dinner and the breakfast and it was definitely all freshly cooked and very good indeed. We had a budget twin room and it was clean, warm, comfy beds and certainly worth it for what we paid. Tea, coffee, water, caramel logs and TV. We had a separate private bathroom for the room, just across the hall, and I was delighted to discover some lovely fluffy bathrobes in the wardrobes for the hop across the hall which I thought was a great touch. Great value, good food lovely area and very friendly.

Lovely little hotel, would definitely...

Liked: The hotel is easy to find, staff were very friendly, room was really good size and clean and had a welcoming feel. Free onsite parking. Little touches in the room like local bottled water and Scottish biscuits. I loved how welcome they made my little dog. Breakfast was included, but I didn't have it as I was out before it was served and back after it was finished. But it was a fantastic price even without the food. There was lots of lovely places within walking distance to visit, but I used it as a bit of a base to go further a field. I would definitely book it again.Thank you for having us.
Disliked: My only complaint would be the key ring on the room key! It was huge, I mean, you can't lose it, so I get why they have used it, but from a practical point where to put it? It luckily just fit in my pocket and no more. Nothing else what so ever was wrong with my stay, and I feel silly for mentioning the keyring, but if no one says you'll never know.

Great little Hotel

Liked: Food is excellent. Great choice. Also hotel well placed for seeing and doing things.
Disliked: Bed was a bit too firm for our liking. Also, there are lots of steps up to room, which may be a problem for some people.

Exceptional

Memorable stay at a lovely...

Liked: Lovely village hotel with friendly and very helpful hosts, a vibrant bar area, and excellent meals.
Disliked: Stairs up to the room were steep and narrow, but the hosts insisted on carrying our bags in and out so this was not a problem.

Good friendly and welcoming hotel...

Liked: Carrbridge is a good place as it is central to all aspects of the highlands for me. The breakfast is good with plenty of choice. all the staff are friendly and helpful. The locals are friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: The room (Ryvuoan) was a little on the small size. The mirror for shaving is way too low. The motorcycle park was not cleared as was instructed when booking room.

very very nice

Liked: Great breakfast comfortable room

One of my favourite places

Liked: Best of the best of your traditional down-to-earth no frills hospitality. Love the wee room, exceptional location, super friendly staff, excellent local food at the bar and generous delicious breakfast on a quiet morning. The bed is comfy and the room has everything one might need for a stay. This was my second stay and I will be back again. Highly recommend.
Disliked: The property is not new, so there are some things that come with age of the building, like squeaky floors and door, some mouldy bits in the bathroom, but this is all so minor and even adds to the charm of the place.

I would definitely stay here...

Liked: Great location, meals, staff, and service! The room was spacious and clean.
