Amenities: Snug Room and Balcony Private Events Room

“The location is peaceful, close to Grantown Museum and the Cairngorms; however, some aspects require refreshing, especially the external paint job. The staff is friendly and accommodating, which is a definite plus; the cuisine, while not consistently exceptional, utilizes locally sourced ingredients, adding a touch of Scottish authenticity. I think with some modernization, it would be an ideal choice.”
