Just what you want
We stayed 1 night after climbing Ben Nevis as it is about an hour away and for the price it was perfect. We stayed in stables and it was just what you would want, nice quiet apartment with comfy clean facilities, nice powerful hot shower and comfy bed. Parking out the front of our room and a complimentary breakfast which was a nice touch. Would highly recommend.

LDWA National 100 mile walk Spayside 2024
Our stay for 6 nights at the Columba House Kingussie was for the LDWA National 100 mile run walk. We stayed in room 6 which is accessed by outside sttone stairs from the courtyard parking area. The room was a little tired, although the bedding was clean, shower (in bath) and toilet were good. The carpet was dirty, a hard floor would have been better, the doors and skirting desperately needed a coat of paint. Room service was none existant, room not serviced throughout our stay even when clean room card was displayed. We had to phone 00 wherever that was to get clean towels. We kept room tidy ourselves. The outsiide needed a good clean up and the sevice of a good contract gardener, shortcut steps downt to the access road were covered in loose gravel and were dangerous in the dark. Grab and go breakfast was poor, we didn't bother, fridge lacked a good supply of fresh milk. Room suited our needs. we were out all Saturday Night on the walk.

We had originally planned 2 nights in The Spey, but we had to leave after 1 night due to a storm incoming & needing to catch a very early flight in Inverness. We loved the room & the quiet setting. Bed was firm, which was perfect. Very clean. No staff on site, which was odd but not a problem. Would stay here again.

Dated and never serviced
Room was never serviced, even after we asked for extra bin bags for our rubbish and then got told it should have been but it never got done for the duration of our stay. Leaking drain outside which mean an increasing pile of sewage in the car park

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The comfort and peace surpassed my expectations, and this was great value. I was looking for something straightforward when I came to Kingussie to visit my daughter, and didn't expect this to be so pleasant. The room was large and comfortable and clean. There were no staff on site, but everything had been prepared and left ready for a comfortable stay. Entry was easy, with the PIN-code key locker. Breakfast was basic but perfectly adequate, and the coffee machine was great. There was plenty of room downstairs to eat and rest. For the price I paid, I would say this was about the best hotel experience I've had. Thank you!

A blast from the past
It was good to stay in a place with character: old world design, giant panelling, uneven floors, old-world carpets, high ceilings, wooden doors, pre-modern architecture and fittings were a welcome break from Welcome Break anodynity. But finding it was hard at night: none of the signs were well-lit or lit at all; that's my only concern

Hotel shabby outside, room clean but decor dated.
There are no staff on site, bar a gentleman we took to be a caretaker. Check in is via a phone on the reception desk and an automated key safe to obtain your room key. Breakfast is self-service and limited in choice - there is no cooked breakfast option, again because there are no staff on site. The outside of the hotel is shabby and lacks maintenance. The room was clean but dated.

Great place for the money
Beautiful location. We couldn't believe the price for such a nice place. An older building, but very nice. If you are looking for a place to spend the night in the Caringorns, give them a try.

Disliked: Staff & service
Peaceful location but thin walls. I asked for directions to my room from a staff member. She showed me to my room and where the shared bathroom was. I asked if anyone was in the same wing as me, and she said no guests, just her sleeping in the room next door. Unfortunately, the walls were paper thin, and she apperently likes to listen to the news without headphones, so almost every moment between 8 am and 8pm, I could quite clearly hear the news/videos playing from her phone/tv through the walls. While this didn’t affect my sleep, it didn’t exactly make me feel comfortable. The hotel manager had emailed me asking if everything was alright. I emailed back to ask them to ask her to keep it down but the email they used was a noreply email. I messaged them on Expedia but they didn’t respond. So even though I tried to have this (rather awkward) issue resolved, I couldn’t contact mgmt. Since it didn’t disturb my sleep, it’s not the end of the world, and otherwise the place was fine. Would have been a perfect stay without the noise disruption and I hope that this review encourages the staff to use headphones to avoid disturbing guests. Management needs to be responsive and reachable thru email.

Braw wee hotel.
This place was lovely. Having been before we were more than pleased this time as the young man who welcomed us couldnt be more helpful. Our room was prepared specially for us as we had arrived early. No problem. If we needed anything we were told just to call him on the phone in the front hallway. He lived in the premises whilst on duty. The room was cleaned and bins were emptied daily. Breakfast was available in a grab and go service provided in the dining breakfast room. We came and went as we pleased. 3 days of relaxing in this comfotable hotel was just what we had hoped for. Will definitely be returning in the future. The comments we had read before in reviews must come from people who expect far more than what they pay for. It was homely, clean and welcoming. As we all get back on our feet and return to a sort of normality after covid, lets give these wee places a chance. Braw place . Thanks guys.
