A welcome like never before
Very warm welcome from Chris who had called us a few hours prior to arrival to establish if we would require a table for the evening as it was pretty busy he didn’t want us to miss out. First class service I thought. Great hotel, food and drinks on offer were really good at fair prices too. We used this hotel as a base for a visit to the Dalwhinnie Distillery a few miles up the road.

Only stayed 1 night but I'd recommend it
Stayed 1 night in the hotel and was very satisfied with every aspect. The staff have done an excellent job of managing to welcome every guest and provide a service which is as close to normal as you might expect in the middle of COVID.

An enjoyable short stay
Very comfortable and clean. Staff did well under difficult conditions (pandemic) but service for evening meals was slow and erratic; the food was quite good - my lamb shank was well cooked but pathetically small and the following day's venison casserole was tasty but could have done with more meat. Breakfasts were excellent with faultless service.

Response from CAG on 14 Aug 2020
Thank you Alison. We are working under difficult circumstances with a lot of new and extra procedures so service is slower in order to be safe, not just front of house but also in the kitchen. We are fortunate in that since opening we have been busier than expected which also has an impact on the service time.

Charming older hotel in quaint village
Charming older hotel with restaurant and pub on ground floor in quaint village. Staff was super nice, when we discovered there was no lift, the clerk kindly helped us take our heavy luggage up the stairs. Pub & restaurant staff equally as courteous and helpful. Bathrooms have received recent updates including power-showers. Rooms are a bit dated, but comfortable - squeaky floors, but to be expected in an older hotel. Cute village - wish we'd have had more time to explore. Be sure to check out the Highland Folk Museum nearby (it was closed during our visit, but looked really interesting and will be recognizable to "Outlander" fans), and The Wildcat Centre (look around town for the colorfully painted cats hidden in plain sight for visitors to find - clue, you'll find one at the Glen Hotel!). Beautiful mountain views from parts of the village. Restaurant had a nice selection of local items and vegetarian options. Highly recommend!

Greeted on arrival by the lovely smell of food being cooked and an extremely cheery and helpful lady. Upon entering the room my Wife was extremely impressed by the cleanliness of the room, no dust on any pipes and zero sign of mildew in the bathroom. We ate in the bar in the evening and I had the sirloin steak which was extremely tasty and tender . My Wife had the Chicken on a bed of Haggis which she said was superb. Both the food and beverages are reasonably priced. Bed was very comfortable and a good nights sleep was had. Breakfast was made to order and served by attentive staff member and was delicious. Would recommend this Hotel without hesitation.

I was going to give this 4 stars but after the other hotels we stayed in afterwards I decided it to give it 5 stars as it was one of the nicest hotels we stayed in on our trip around the Highlands. We had a large comfortable room with a kingside bed. There were two chairs (which is a rarity). The bathroom was clean and modern. We ate in the bar and the food was good pub grub. Breakfast was fine. The only downside was our room was next to the road so it was a bit noisy at times as we slept with the window open.

A Fun and Lively Inn! Enjoy the friendly locals.
A fun and lively inn, located in a quaint village inside the Cairngorm National Park, Scotland. We enjoyed dinner and drinks with the locals at the outside restaurant. The inside pub was buzzing with activity, but our room remained quiet. The staff was friendly and informative. The menu offered many Scottish favorites, and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. The room was a bit warm, but Scotland had record heat. No A/C in Scotland. We were able to open the windows. Highly recommended, I cannot wait to go back!
