I loved staying at this B&B! We stayed in the back room and had a view of the back garden with a…read moreview of the side garden, pond and chicken coop out of our bathroom window. It was decorated beautifully, large, with a private, huge bathroom. Big white fluffy bathrobes were provided and the bed was the most comfortable bed my husband and I slept in the whole trip! There was also a large closet with a mini-fridge. Glen and John provided water, milk, tons of coffee, tea and hot chocolate, as well as two delicious lemon cupcakes! We had to arrive earlier than the typical 4:30 time to get into the rooms, but Glen and John were quite flexible, allowing us to drop our bags early, then we were on our way to sightsee. There is a great restaurant about a five minute walk down the road (The Dores Inn) with a great view of the entire Loch from the Dores Beach. Glen and John cooked a fantastic breakfast the next morning. The pancakes were soft and fluffy, the bacon and sausage delicious, the bread and jam homemade, and the eggs were from the chickens in the backyard! I tried the haggis, but I just don't like it--the other couple there assured me that it was cooked perfectly. There were booklets provided in the room with plenty of activities listed within, as well as detailed information about the B&B's policies and commitment to the environment--they try to run the B&B in the most environmentally friendly and sustainable way possible! If you're going Nessie hunting, definitely consider staying here!

The property is a beautiful stone Victorian house well and detailed kept outside and inside. The rooms and the Breakfast areas are very warm and cozy, spotless clean. The owners, Kenneth and Graham make you feel welcome at anytime and at home. They have always, a courteous, smiley, positive helpful and professional attitude. The breakfast are deliciously made with fresh ingredients that make you feel ready to enjoy the day! I definitely will come back and I recommend it! Way to go Kenneth and Graham!! As Scots say: 'Slainte Mhath' instead of the English 'Cheers'.

We came across this very friendly,very clean and very reasonably priced guest house on our tour of…read moreScotland and found it to be a gem. For an evening meal we were directed to an hotel just a short walk through Aviemore, and the recommendation was spot on. The short walk back was definately required to "see off" the fantastic meal we enjoyed! Our room was quiet, clean and very well equipped. As for the breakfast, typically Scottish, with "Pete's Porridge" a must. Both proprieters very much "hands on" and clearly experienced, and happy in the business. When next in the area we will definately book The Cairngorm GH again.

Recently Allister and Margo built this new home with just two rooms for rent. One on the main floor and one upstairs. Both big and perfectly decorated, with all the amenities and snacks. Breakfast was delicious and we didn't even need to arrange in advance for gluten-free, dairy-free yogurt, bread, etc. Off-street parking. Use of a living/dining room. Beautiful islands and parks along the Ness River. Only downside might be that it is a 30 minute walk into town, but Allister and Margo are more than willing to provide a lift (no charge). Dinner reservations, touring advice, even help with laundry- no problem! Our original B&B was unavailable and that owner sent us here. Such great luck. This was perfection. Margo has learned in 26 years how to build a perfect B&B and provide the most delightful experience.

The Mellon Patch is a family-run B&B, tucked away in the village of Carrbridge, which is really near Aviemore. We stayed there just for the one night this summer and the owners couldn't have been nicer, it really felt like we were staying with family or friends. The rooms were all ensuite, beautifully decorated, extremely clean and welcoming, there were even fresh flowers in the room, even though they didn't know we were coming!! We didn't eat breakfast, through choice, but they took the time to make a fresh pot of coffee for us before we left to send us on our way. Lovely gardens which can be seen at least from the 'Yellow Room', and the place itself is set into woodland, beautiful countryside just a stone's throw from the now very commercial centre of Aviemore. I'll definitely go back on our next jaunt up north!

I give it one star because the room and adjoining bath are very dated, and the bathroom small and…read moreuncomfortable. The walls are thin, the room is locked with an old fashioned "skeleton key" making it a security risk for any valubles one might leave in your room. Mostly though, the low rating is due to a very loud domestic that woke us at 0300, and continued for the better part of an hour. We went down for our breakfast at the appointed hour to find a note from the owner saying she was ill and could we please help ourselves to two choices of cereal. Very unsatisfactory! We'll be asking for a partial refund.
