Columba House

view from the room.

Carpet dirty. Matrasses very old and creaky with poor support. Grab and go breakfast non-existent on 2 mornings. Shower didn't work on the final evening, just when we needed it after 7 hours on the hills !! No notification of construction work going on ! Never saw a single member of staff.

Never got to stay

The fact that I couldn’t collect my keys

I stayed there in 2024 for two nights. Early this year I was doing a quick one week trip in Scotland and unfortunately had a car accident in the snow on the other side of the loch and the car was damaged and I was able to get a lift and remembered this place at Kingussie and asked to be taken there. I was bruised and sore but this gave me the opportunity to rest for the night. The only room available was a single room with shared bathroom, but it did the job. I then booked another night in a double room with a bathroom so I was able to get myself sorted and get train to Perth where family picked me up

Scary in winter as there is snow everywhere and when I hit a lift after my accident we had to carry the luggage up the hill in the snow as the road was too icy. When I left I had to walk my luggage down the hill to the Main Street due to the snow and ice to walk to the station. Wouldn’t suggest this place in heavy snow to drive or walk up and down hill

Clean room. Good location

Nothing really. No staff I suppose

What I expected for the price and it was fine just for the one night. I didn't see any staff as it was a self check in, but they were perfectly attentive over the booking.com messaging. Although sometimes it's nice to see a human, the self service checking was completely fine and easy to use.

I will say you get what you pay for, and I was perfectly happy enough with that, as it was just for one night. But to give an idea of it for a review: it is a bit of a strange place. A little run down and dated, but clean. It's an old building and the interior doors have been replaced with very rudimentary fire doors. These bang quite easily as people come and go. Don't expect much of the grab and go breakfast. The uphill track to the hotel is beginning to be in a state of disrepair, meaning you have to carefully straddle it to not ground your vehicle.

Great size room and comfortable bed.

Kitchenette could have been better equipped

I loved the peaceful surroundings, my own front door, the TV and Shower were spot on, the furniture was lovely, comfy bed, easy parking Fantastic local facilities away from the busy Aviemore environment. Beautiful local walks. Great cafes Great value for money too!

Cant think of anything
