5 star. Nicely renovated room. Good facilities. Location much better than expected. Very close to the small city center and no noise from the mainroad. Breakfast was perfect. Short time 8-9, but better than in most hotels.

This is a perfect place for a stay during a visit to the Highlands/Inverness/Cairngorms National Park. We stayed with our children. The breakfast was delicious. Mark our host was super helpful upon arrival and was extremely accommodating. The guest house was so clean and well furnished. We enjoyed the use of the front living room area. We also were able to do some laundry which was great. I would highly recommend this guest house!

We really enjoyed our stay in the family room at Cairngorm Guest House. Super clean and comfortable with an incredible breakfast service included before we headed out for a day of adventuring! We really appreciated the drying room at the property after our brief and rainy visit! Parking was a bit tight, but adequate, so we loved that there were several dining options in walking distance too!

Immaculate guest house in the heart of Aviemore. Breakfast was wonderful. Mark, the owner personally met us at check in and showed us to our room. He even gave us great recommendations for dinner and places to hike in the morning. You can really tell that he loves what he does and cares about his guests having a great experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We got delayed in getting to Aviemore before the check in time. The owner was very gracious and set up our room and gave us the code to the door. Breakfast was good but it’s not self service for the fruit, yogurt and juices. You’ll need to find a staff person to get it for you. The location was great for walking and lots of food choices nearby.

This property is 5-star; there is no question. The staff are there when you arrive, the rooms contain everything you need, and there is nothing they won’t do to assure your satisfaction. Again in the morning, they are there doing everything to please their clients. Breakfast was just delicious. Everything was fresh. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We would definitely return. Also, we loved this area. It was a pleasant surprise. It reminded us of our homeland - mini Banff, Alberta Canada
