Hôtel correct avec un bon rapport qualité-prix
Pros:

L'hôtel propose un petit déjeuner tout à fait correct pour un prix abordable.

Cons:

Il y avait une odeur de remontée d'évacuation dans la salle de bain. Nous n'avons pas pu l'éliminer malgré la fenêtre ouverte toute la nuit.
Le parking est assez petit..

Pros:

Good hotel, provides better value for money compared to offerings in neighbouring Aviemore. Seems to cater for groups of elderly. If you are with a car , this may be a more cost effective base for hiking compared to Aviemore. Not many dining options in Newtonmore, though. Did not try hotel's restaurant for dinner. For breakfast it serves a classic English breakfast

Ideal for an over night stop
Pros:

Friendly staff. Ideal place for over night stop over.
White table cloths and waiter service during meals.
Clean, basic rooms adequate for an over nighter.

Cons:

Didn't like bedrooms were separate from main building had to go outdoors going to and from reception, dining room and bar.

Pros:

We stopped over to break our journey to moray shire.
We just booked the room no food included.
Very comfortable stay. Clean basic and ever we needed. T V poor quality and small sound awful for one night OK but no longer.
Unfortunately there where 2 foreign coach parties booked in which were very loud through the night slamming the doors shouting etc. No respect for other things. Not hotels fault but still bad night when further long drive next day.
We did not have any food so cannot comment but menu looked reasonably priced.
All in all great value overnight stay.

Cons:

Noisy guests
