Lovely rooms. Waiting staff seemed very haphazard. Forgot to bring items or did not offer extras like sauce.

A think this is our 8th time staying at the highlander Hotel. Can't fault it yeh some parts of the hotel are a bit dated. But who cares. You are only using the Hotel as a base for exploring the carincorms national park. Would a stay again 100 per cent and will be staying again in the next couple of months

An enjoyable 2-day stay at the Highlander Hotel. Excellent location. Efficient check-in and check-out. Our (Double) Room was not particularly modern but absolutely acceptable, large, spacious and very clean. Fairly large bathroom. All members of staff whom we encountered were particularly friendly, polite and efficient. We stayed on a DB&B basis. Overall the food was acceptable but could have been a little more 'interesting'. Breakfast was adequate but not quite as substantial as a traditional Full English/Scottish, and there were a few alternative options. Dinner options could have been more exciting. I would reiterate an existing Review comment which pointed out that table service was somewhat 'speedy'. This was a new experience to us, given that the opposite is more likely to be a problem. Staff are obviously observing the progress of guests at Dinner but are, in our opinion, responding far too quickly between courses. This made the dining experience appear/feel rushed. Having said all that, our stay was most enjoyable and we would be happy to return for further visits.

Had a couple of nights midweek and thoroughly enjoyed it , room was really clean had what youd expect with tea , coffee , milk sugar etc etc and a couple of biscuits , had a tv , only thing I would say was the mattress was a bit on the hard side for us but that's just nit picking , where it is , is the perfect base to explore the surrounding area , the staff were very pleasant professional and very attentive, nothing was to much trouble for them , well worth the money if we are back up that way we will definitely be staying at the Highlander Hotel

Excellent two-day break. Hotel is great base for touring. The Highland folk museum is two minutes away and you pass by the Highland wildlife park on the 25 minute drive to Aviemore. It's about an hour to Inverness in the north and Pitlochry in the south. Plenty of parking space also available. Double room was large, warm and comfortable. Breakfast substantial, with veggie options. Evening meal had adequate choice of starters and main dishes, including vegetarian. Menu seems to change daily. Service was excellent with very friendly staff. Bar prices were also reasonable. This was our second visit this year and we look forward to returning next year.

Hotel is a little old fashioned, but the staff were very friendly and polite. Made us feel welcome. The hotel was very dog friendly as well. Room was a decent size and also clean and the bathroom was also good with plenty of from the shower. Food was OK, but nothing special, however for the price we paid, I could not complain. Overall I would be happy to return as the staff were great.

Excellent service from friendly staff. Hope to return again soon.

Stayed 7th April 2022

Stay here a couple of times a year when we visit the Highland Wildlife Park. The staff are always lovely and it is perfect for our needs.

Stayed 25th March 2022

Room with beautiful view over the hills . Basic but clean and fresh. Shower cubicle very small. No space to move about. Staff helpful & friendly. Food typical, basic pub food, 3-4 choices for each course. But nice enough. Good value for money.

Stayed 11th February 2022

We are a group of 6 [nearly] elderly siblings who get together twice a year. The visit to the Highlander Hotel was first class. Every member of staff was helpful and attentive, the food was delicious and very plentiful. The rooms were clean and all you would hope for. We have no hesitation in giving this hotel top marks and believe me we do not always give good feedback. Thank you.

The hotel represents pretty good value for money....We were on a £109 2 nights B&B and a £30 meal allowance:- So "come on! £40 B&B p/n. It is basically "no frills" but essentially it's all there. Reception staff were lovely and chatty. Restaurant staff pleasant, attentive. Breakfast is fine enough:-both cereals/porridge and also additional cooked option. Dinner menu is good and our choices all tasty and well presented. The bedroom walls however are not the most soundproofed. A bargain stay in the midst of the great Highland outdoors. Ideal for southwards to Laggan or nortwards for Aviemore/Cairgorms. We would happily return.

Stayed 29th October 2021

This was a last minute break and we were not disappointed. We had a lovely big room which was spotlessly clean with plenty of clean fresh towels. The staff were so nice and made you feel very welcome,nothing was a bother for them. The meals were excellent and the serving staff were so professional and polite it was a pleasure to eat in the restaurant. We will definitely be back.

Stayed 19th October 2021

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Staff, food etc all 1st class. Staff very helpful indeed

Stayed 12th October 2021

Clean & comfortable, bathroom was lovely and looked recently refurbished. Would have preferred 'proper' cups for the tea / coffee rather than the paper versions in the room. Lots of cleaning stations. As others have noted some noise depending on if the bedroom is next to the adjoining bathroom, but this will only affect some rooms. Food was good and given the rate paid, couldn't really complain. Staff polite and helpful.

Stayed 13th August 2021

Great hotel. Food very good with a good choice and service excellent. Would definitely go back, great value for money.

Stayed 7th August 2021

Although the rooms had everything that was needed they could do with a refurb, and proper cups instead of paper ones. Everything else was excellent!!
