Not ideal
Pros:

Great hotel, convenient for gigs in Kingussie. Stayed here twice, booked a third stay during valentine’s weekend – because they would’ve had a loyal customer in me. They’ve just cancelled, meaning I won’t be refunded for other aspects of my upcoming trip such as transport. All other accommodation is now unaffordable and they haven’t even bothered to offer an alternative. Not ideal, but people really ought to be aware.

I notice they still have plenty of rooms available at a higher price for that weekend, though. Lovely.

Pros:

The rooms were spacious and clean. I didn't prefer to book a hotel with a shared bathroom, but here it was no problem. The bathroom was spacious, clean, near to the room, and no problem with availability. The hotel manager was friendly and on street parking was ample and convenient.

Värden fick oss att trivas
Pros:

Ingen egen toalett eller badrum.
Hård säng.
Trevlig värd. Hjälpte oss upp med bagaget. Omtänksam och service mindes.
Dålig ventilation i rummet och badrummen. Lugnt på kvällen/natten

Room was dirty and had a horrible smell. Staff were friendly and the location is great, but the cleaning needs significant improvement to want to spend any time there.

Weekend Away
Pros:

Struggled to find affordable accommodation in the area at such notice until I came across the OYO Braeriach Hotel. It was great value for money. Stayed two nights as was site seeing and would do so again in the future. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Facilities were clean and comfortable. Paid extra for a cooked breakfast both mornings of my stay but it was worth the extra money spent.

Under new management
Pros:

Friendly welcome. Host said they had only arrived two days previous. Place is in need of a good spring clean, which I'm sure is high on the list, but otherwise fine. Room was good. Thin walls. Noisy if the wrong group are staying.
