"Fantastic hotel ,great food."

Cambus O' May Traditional Highland Hotel

"If you like staying in identikit chain hotels don't bother booking here. This is a place with bags of character. It has been refurbished in a way that almost makes it seem that it hasn't. I am glad they charge a modest rate because if they charged a lot more they would probably have to add a lot of 'comforts' and 'luxuries' that would detract from the charm. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, the bathrooms clean, and the lounge and dining room have great views. The cooking is unpretentious - good quality home cooking rather than trying to be fine dining. Loved eating breakfast outside on the terrace in the morning sun. Overall it feels authentically Victorian rather than 'Designer Victorian'. Possibly the hotel I have most enjoyed staying in."

Invercauld Lodges

"We stayed Friday 25th till Tuesday 29th in the Balmoral lodge. This isn’t 5* luxury but it is very comfortable, clean and has all you’d want for a short stay. The bedding is clean, pillows and duvets cozy and warm. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, cutlery and all you’d need for self catering break. The owner made us feel so welcome without being too intrusive. There are plenty of bins for recycling, parking was ample and I never felt that we were looking into the other lodges. The area is so quiet and peaceful within easy access to the town and wider area. Red squirrels play in the trees and jackdaws keep a watchful eye for any scraps! We stayed just outside the school holidays which probably helped keep things quiet. We will defo be back as it’s just the kind of restful, peaceful break we needed. Thanks!"
