Friendly hostel, with military connections
Pros:

A very interesting place, very friendly with a strong hostel atmosphere, but the connection with the armed forces was very evident and a bit disconcerting at first. It did feel safe and relaxed, and the wood-fired pizza van up the road was an unexpected bonus!

Pros:

Great place. If you want perfection, go elsewhere. For the price this is amazing, considering the location.
Only thing to be wary about is the fridge is shared. Someone took my sandwiches for the next day at one point. Quite inconvenient considering the closest shop is a 10 minute drive

Pros:

The Forces Manor is absolutely ideal for anyone wanting to spend some time in the Cairngorms!

The location is amazing with access to the entire Speyside Valley and it's routes into the mountains.

The cooking facilities in the new kitchen are amazing.

Tony kindly upgraded my single private room with shared bathroom access to a larger room with an ensuite that happened to be available for the length of my stay, for free.

The bed was incredibly comfortable and he heating was always set absolutely perfectly to come home to a warm accomodation.

Tony's dog was a very welcome addition.

Other guests were welcoming and everyone understood the community nature of the accomodation.

Tony explained that areas of the manor are undergoing upgrades and so are a little building site - esk. This didn't intrude on my stay at all and I can tell that Tony is heavily reinvesting into the place to make it even more comfortable, friendly and fun.
