The Braeriach

What guests think

At The Braeriach, many guests highlight modern, recently renovated rooms, comfortable beds, and strong cleanliness, with thoughtful touches and a welcoming style, while friendly staff and a relaxed on-site pub add to a positive, good-value stay in Newtonmore.

Its location works well for Highlands exploring and hiking, serves as a handy stop between Edinburgh and Loch Ness, and feels quiet and family friendly. Breakfast and dining are inconsistent: some enjoyed excellent cooked breakfasts (often at a sister hotel), while others found no breakfast or evening meals available. Operations are mostly smooth with key code entry, but a few noted limited human interaction, occasional noise or small rooms, shared bathrooms in places, and an isolated late cancellation complaint. Overall, expect a practical base with simple facilities.

Great for a family stop over. Really nice comfortable rooms and amenities. Highly recommended. The only minor comment is that the kids could not reach the shampoo and shower gel mounted to the wall! A really minor comment but maybe something that could be changed. Would definitely stay at this hotel or their sister hotel in Kingusie (The Crossing) again in the future.

Stayed in the alpine family room which was EXCELLENT - two separated (by doors) areas - one with twin beds, one with a double. Lovely clean, personal hotel and a fantastic breakfast (£13 extra each for fully cooked). The town was a good stop off between Edinburgh and Loch Ness for us, but actually plenty of local sights to see. Check in is by key code but worked well enough. Two floors of steps (no problem for us but if that’s a challenge then be warned).

Great hotel, convenient for gigs in Kingussie. Stayed here twice, booked a third stay during valentine’s weekend – because they would’ve had a loyal customer in me. They’ve just cancelled, meaning I won’t be refunded for other aspects of my upcoming trip such as transport. All other accommodation is now unaffordable and they haven’t even bothered to offer an alternative. Not ideal, but people really ought to be aware. I notice they still have plenty of rooms available at a higher price for that weekend, though. Lovely.

Struggled to find affordable accommodation in the area at such notice until I came across the OYO Braeriach Hotel. It was great value for money. Stayed two nights as was site seeing and would do so again in the future. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Facilities were clean and comfortable. Paid extra for a cooked breakfast both mornings of my stay but it was worth the extra money spent.
