"Nancy was just so lovely, she was receptionist, Bar Lady and waitress but made it look so easy she was very sweet. We stayed for 2 nights we had a lovely room, room number 5. We had a gorgeous 4 poster bed. We loved it. The bath showed a bit of wear and Tear. shower was so powerful. Lovely and clean. Breakfast was continental and lovely. Dinner was superb and very reasonable. We think this hotel was great value for money with lovely staff. Would recommend. Thank you"

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!"
