This was a lovely little hotel attached to a cute, cozy pub. Our room was nice - spacious and clean, with a private bath. The staff were welcoming and wonderful and the food was amazing. The traditional Scottish breakfast - made to order - was superb. If we ever come back to Scotland, we will be sure to stop here again.
Had a lovely stay at the Cairn the past week. Friendly helpful staff and the room was lovely, would definitely recommend

Lovely hotel, great food good service wonderful staff. Location is wonderful quiet and away. Local buses are regular. Train is close but not walkable with lots of luggage. There are no taxis.
Conveniently located off the A9 with plenty of parking. Room was clean and a decent nights sleep. Breakfast was lovely, perfectly setting up for the day.
Second stay at the Cairn, and it's all around delightful. The food is excellent, the decoration, and you have the village pub right under the same roof! We had a blast at the Friday evening live music and enjoyed exploring around the area. Can't wait to go back.

Friendly and helpful staff in a nice clean establishment made for a very enjoyable stay. Room facilities more than adequate and lovely and warm :) Bar food was to a good standard, a decent selection for a short stay too. Lovely open fire to warm up by whilst eating your fare and recovering from the days activities!
The staff are really friendly, good food, good atmosphere. We only stayed the one night but was very good and would use agai

The Cairn Hotel is a lovely hotel in a great location, with friendly and helpful staff throughout my stay. Whilst my room wasn’t en-suite, my private toilet was 2 steps across the corridor - not big deal, but remember your key otherwise you're locked out of your room
Dinner was excellent from a well appointed menu, I had the haggis lasagne which was very well presented, generously portioned, and served efficiently.
The bar is adjacent and is very well stocked with a good selection of wines, beers & spirits, I had an excellent well poured Guinness that hit the spot after a long day.
Breakfast, absolutely outstanding, possibly one of the best planed breakfasts for a long time.
Lovely 3 night break at Cairn Hotel our first visit and will certainly return. Really good service with a smile from everyone we encountered.The quality of food was excellent and breakfast compared favourably to a recent stay in a 5* hotel
Great food, friendly helpful service. Very clean although my double room was rather small but only me in it and only there one night. Would stay there again.
A peaceful and comfortable hotel with very nice meals in the downstairs restaurant. This was a lovely place from which to explore Cairngorms National Park. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend the hotel to friends!
Great little hotel, very friendly with a super bar and restaurant.
Bed was very comfortable and room was spacious and clean.
Take a walk along the Riverside walk and into the woodland walk to see all the amazing wood sculptures.
