"This was a fantastic base for our stay in the Cairngorm National Park. Though Kingussie is fairly quiet (a big plus for a good night’s sleep!) so many things were easily accessible. The room was clean, well-maintained and bright, with modern bathroom fixtures. All of the guest areas were also clean and nicely kept, and smelt incredible with Highland Soap Company Fragrances. All the check-in is done ‘contactlessly’ which was easy and felt very safe. The breakfast (we tried both cooked and continental options) was generous, and tasty - definitely a must. Parking was easy right next to the property with lots of space, and all the staff we saw were friendly and helpful. Great all round!"
