“Absolute fabulous stay.”
+We've had the most amazing stay here this year over Christmas. They could not do enough for us. The welcome is great. The food and drinks are of great quality and plentiful. The service is really good. The activities and music has been really enjoyable and traditional. We are staying in the oldest part of the hotel but the room is fantastic. Lots of space, warm and very comfortable. The beds are comfortable and the bedding is very nice. Modern bathroom with good quality toiletries. Lovely tea and coffee & hot chocolate tray. We like the wood burners. The coffee is very good and that's usually a deal breaker for us! We think the hotel is modern but typically Scottish. All in all, its been a fantastic break and we totally recommend. The village is quiet but the hotel seems to be the hub of it. Well done to Colin and Team. Keep doing what you are doing. Merry Christmas.

“Good one night stay”
+A great one night stay with a very large party which I thought might be a challenge for the staff. Service was quick and attentive and the food good quality - except maybe for the sticky toffee pudding (wrong choice there, everything else was excellent). Not the biggest of rooms but perfectly adequate, clean and with everything you are likely to need.

“Great service”
+Excellent service. We stay in Carrbridge often and have eaten frequently at an adjacent hotel. This hotel has been closed for refurbishment so we have not eaten here before. This evening our usual hotel sent us and several other potential customers packing so we all ended up at the Carrbridge hotel. First of all, the refurbishment is really lovely- very stylish. Secondly, I think the staff were at first slightly overwhelmed by the sudden influx of customers. However they rose to the occasion. The service was good. The food was good and the prices were good. I don’t think that we will go back to the original hotel- the one opposite the gallery. They are not interested in catering for tourists. The Carrbridge hotel provided everything that we and other tourists were looking for- good service and good food.

“Very Poor...”
+Pleasent enough hotel however the food was garbage. Breakfast was a riot, mainly because 2 large tour bus groups had just left and there was apparently only 1 Filipino guy left to clear the mess. BTables were overflowing and nothing had been replenished. The hotel is run and managed by Filipinos so don't go expecting a traditional Scottish welcome or experience. Alright for a single night stopover but not for anything else.

“window held together with black gaffer tape”
+arrived in a party to be told we did not have a room .finally given a room .the hotel looks pretty decent in the public rooms .overcrowded admittedly but that is to be expected with coach parties .food ok given they are catering for for so many people .sadly the room was far below a standard we would have expected .clean but that was the only plus point .my grandmother had better furniture ,as for my self it was like viewing museum pieces.the carpet was dingy but the highlight was a window with the pane held together with black gaffer tape ........not what anyone would expect i am sure .such a shame because if this was supposed to impress an over seas visitor believe me it didn't .the village itself is breathtaking ,if you planning a visit i would recommend staying somewhere with higher standards of accommodation

“Frozen in time - dining in the Carrbridge Hotel”
+If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to dine in a cryogenic lab, the Carrbridge Hotel restaurant will answer all your questions. The food arrived with all the flavour of a forgotten Iceland freezer bargain. Defrosting, it turns out, is optional here - and sadly, optional in the same way seatbelts were in the 1950s. The menu seemed to promise “cooked meals,” but what landed on our plates was still clinging bravely to its frozen origins. At one point I wasn’t sure whether to eat it or use it to chill my drink. Easily the worst culinary adventure I’ve had this year, and I’ve eaten airline food on many occasions! The one saving grace was the waitress, who was so relentlessly cheerful and smiley that she deserved an award - or at least a transfer to an establishment where the food doesn’t fight the diner for room temperature dominance. I genuinely hope she escapes to a nice restaurant soon, because she deserves far better than presiding over this Arctic farce. In short: if you enjoy food that is equal parts nostalgia and frostbite, this is your place. Otherwise, consider fasting.

“A one night stay”
+The room was ok and provided all of the basics you would expect for the price. The hotel seems to be popular with coach parties, which did impact the atmosphere/feel of the hotel. The only area where I was very underwhelmed was the dinner, which I felt was very bland. Breakfast was a little better. Overall, an average experience.

“Excellent last minute lunch”
+Stopped off on spec for a quick lunch. Both had the roast beef ciabatta with mustard and onions, served with fries and a jug of gravy. Beef was tender and everything hit the spot.

“Decent food off the A9”
+Stopped for lunch between rivers. Crisp functional and friendly service. Food was good if a little formulaic and prices were very reasonable. Sole was good portion but could have been less dry. Will go back next time we are in transit as A9 not well served with facilities and it is not far off the beaten track.
