A weekend for two

Had a lovely two night stay. The corner bath was a deciding factor when deciding where to stay. We found the place to be clean and although we didn’t see staff we also didn’t have a need to see them. The key lock was easy to use to collect the key and return it. They were aware of my wife’s dietary needs as we had enquired about places to eat. When we arrived along with the usual tea/coffee biscuit were some harribo which felt like they cared enough to look into alternatives for gluten free. Once parked our car didn’t move until we left we found the hotel’s location to be great for completing walks. I would recommend the cafe along by train station for amazing gluten free options. Some of the takeaways are cash only, there is an atm located at the back of the coop on the high street only a few minutes walk from the hotel. The bath was a bit of a let down as it creaked so much I worried I would be falling through the ceiling. The shower was separate to the bath and was fine. The decor was as expected loved the lamps.

Good accommodations for the price.

No frills lodging. It's an older building, and it is showing it's age, but it's sufficient for a night or two. Big tub in the bathroom. Rooms are warm (It's Oct and cold!). Good accommodations for the price. Make sure you check your email ahead of time for the key box code, or you will have to call from the unstaffed reception. Free coffee and snacks at breakfast.

Scary drive up, but worth it. Kitchenette is very basic, with no toaster or hob (kettle and microwave only). Large bed, comfortable living area. Couldn't work out how to get the shower colder, but bath worked well.

The room and en suite bathroom were large and clean. Parking was ample and easy. No one was on site at the hotel, and I was a bit confused about the self check in process. Ultimately got that sorted, but I was tired when checking in, so it felt like an additional hassle after a long day of driving. The room was clean, but the bed was a bit uncomfortable for me and the pillows very flat.

Just what you want

We stayed 1 night after climbing Ben Nevis as it is about an hour away and for the price it was perfect. We stayed in stables and it was just what you would want, nice quiet apartment with comfy clean facilities, nice powerful hot shower and comfy bed. Parking out the front of our room and a complimentary breakfast which was a nice touch. Would highly recommend.

LDWA National 100 mile walk Spayside 2024

Our stay for 6 nights at the Columba House Kingussie was for the LDWA National 100 mile run walk. We stayed in room 6 which is accessed by outside sttone stairs from the courtyard parking area. The room was a little tired, although the bedding was clean, shower (in bath) and toilet were good. The carpet was dirty, a hard floor would have been better, the doors and skirting desperately needed a coat of paint. Room service was none existant, room not serviced throughout our stay even when clean room card was displayed. We had to phone 00 wherever that was to get clean towels. We kept room tidy ourselves. The outsiide needed a good clean up and the sevice of a good contract gardener, shortcut steps downt to the access road were covered in loose gravel and were dangerous in the dark. Grab and go breakfast was poor, we didn't bother, fridge lacked a good supply of fresh milk. Room suited our needs. we were out all Saturday Night on the walk.

We had originally planned 2 nights in The Spey, but we had to leave after 1 night due to a storm incoming & needing to catch a very early flight in Inverness. We loved the room & the quiet setting. Bed was firm, which was perfect. Very clean. No staff on site, which was odd but not a problem. Would stay here again.
