Cairn Hotel

Came to the village on our motorhome to stop at the brilliant FREE car park 2 minutes up the road. Took a walk with our dogs down to have a beer and see what and where was available to eat that was also dog friendly. Saw this place first but checked out the kebab restaurant and also the hotel at the bottom of the village. Came back here as the menu painted great pictures and there was a friendly buzz about the staff and the clientele. Had the gin of the day and a demarera rum and coke.

We shared the starter of BBQ chicken on ciabatta. Delicious. My Wife had the chicken fillet burger. Commented on how tasty and tender it was. I had the pork belly. Amazing with proper crunchy crackling on the top! Had a few more.drinks and played some pool. The staff were mega friendly and even gave our dogs some treats! Lovely village. Lovely camper stop. Lovely hotel. Brilliant staff.

Fair value for money. Perfectly situated in Carrbridge. 500m walk from Landmark Adventure Park. Clean room and bathroom. Nice breakfast. Slight negatives: in the family room, the windows were difficult to open and close; same with the bathroom door. Also, staff were lovely and doing their best but you can see they are stretched to their limits.

Evening Dinner we had the steak and ale pie also the belly pork both with proper veg. Beer and soft drink and to top it off an amazing smoky malt whisky. Absolutely perfect

Great place! Often hard to find a good pub in Scotland that does tasty food as well. Really good menu of simple but locally sourced dishes. Very reasonable prices for one night stay with dinner and a large breakfast. Will stop off again on another cycle tour!

Stayed here for three nights whilst attending a course. The staff are cheerful and helpful. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the meals are delicious. Would thoroughly recommend and hope to revisit in the future.

I stayed here back in February during some good snow and found it to be lovely, cosy and with a friendly vibe. A great place to grab some food or a beer at the end of a heavy day on the mountains before toddling off to your room. Rooms were provided with plenty of blankets and extra heating which was very much appreciated and the water was piping hot in the shower. Perfect!

The only suggestion I have is maybe a vegan sausage or hash brown to go with the breakfast for us non meat-eaters but that's splitting hairs really. I had a really lovely stay and was sad to leave!

We had a party of 6 for a meal, the staff are very friendly and the food is very tasty. If you would like a casual meal with a mixture of their standard menu or seasonal it will make a cosy evening.

Lovely dinner and lunch at The Cairn. Staff accommodating and friendly, as always. A great place to stay, eat or just have a couple of drinks.

Went here twice while staying in a nearby lodge, my partner and I tried a few different things on the menu, all really tasty and fresh. Food comes quickly and the staff are all lovely and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Went here for dinner 3 times as we were staying down the road. The roast was the highlight as was the sticky toffee pudding. Very large portions of all meals. Lovely with the fire on in winter and staff very welcoming.

Great hotel Clean and very friendly start Pet friendly also and made our stay amazing with excellent quality of food and service

One of our favourite visits. Always have soup and a game of dominos. Brill

Popped in for a birthday dinner and the restaurant did not disappoint. We all had fish and chips. The chips were beautifully crispy and not oily. The batter on the fish was delicious and the fish was fresh and flaky. We all are until we were uncomfortable because we didn't want to waste a single mouthful. The service was also friendly and welcoming. An evening well spent

Another fabulous meal followed by an awesome pavlova pudding. Make sure to stop here and taste their culinary delights

Picked this because we were staying local. Called ahead and they were happy for a table of 2 to just turn up. Nicely greeted and sat, with drinks served at the table. Good selection of beers and ales. There was a shortened menu for Sunday as they were serving Sunday lunch. There was a bit of a wait after ordering, but this is a good thing because I felt they were actually cooking the food, rather than warming up preprepared.

I had the venison (quite expensive) which was really well cooked, slightly pink, vegetables really well cooked. The mash could have been better, slightly watery, possible overcooked and allowed to steam off before mashing, also needed butter. Partner had the roast of the day (good value) which today was gammon, really nice size and well cooked, again nice veg and yorkie. Obviously used by locals too. Easy to recommend if you are in the area.

Great pub for a drink & some food, doing simple things well. Open fire a huge plus on a cold night. Have to say it was a particularly welcome discovery after several nights struggling to get a table in Aviemore where even in October they don't seem to have the capacity to cope with the number of visitors

Sunday roast Beef lovely! Haggis definitely belongs in a lasagna, if you don't believe me try it. Scrummy puddings too. Great service and very warm and friendly.

Excellent 'old school' Scottish Highland hotel that would benefit from a cosmetic spruce up. Staff were really friendly, excellent food and really good value for money. Would definitely stay again the next time we're visiting the Highland wildlife park.

Really nice staff and accommodated me and my partner and our puppy really well at a busy time. Food was absolutely lovely and well priced. A hidden gem for sure!
