"The few problems were offset by the great staff, food, nice kitchen, trails"

8.0

The location is wonderful. The staff outstanding in so many ways. The common room and dining rooms very nice. The towels were outstanding. The grounds very well kept. Kitchen very nice, clean and organized. Good food served by the kitchen. Loved the fish and chips. Bus into Avienmore (cute little town) just outside the door. Visitor center next door and trails outstanding.

The Beds in the private room were just awful. The doors in the hallway slammed at all hours (think the folks would figure out how to catch them so they did not slam). So sleep was elusive (and I can sleep through just about anything). The toilets in our wing were shut down.. But I think it was from the guys with the slamming doors.

"A great location to climb Ben Macdui and Cairngorm."

9.0

A friendly welcome where all necessary information was explained. Comfortable lounges to relax and comfortable bedrooms. The bathroom set up is very good with adequate shower / toilet cubicles. Felt very comfortable throughout our stay.

Nothing to advise - everything was good. We had a four bed room to stay in and to get to our starting point for climbing Ben Macdui and Cairngorm. The location was five minutes drive to our start point.
