Two night stay

Very pleasant stay. Enjoyed the variety on offer at breakfast. Room was comfortable and clean. Dinner menu was a bit limited and we ate out on our second night. Used lift due to mobility problems. Old type lift where users have to open and close two “doors”. If doors are left open by exiting users, lift is stuck and time and effort used to identify location and close doors. More prominent instructions needed on lift.

Perfect Grantown stay!

Beautiful old building, simple elegant and comfortable. Restaurant staff are especially kind and helpful. Tea time in the lobby is lovely. Bathroom is massive with an old tub for a proper soak after long walks in the area. Beautiful!

This hotel is in a small village inside the Cairngorms national park, a beautiful location. There are nice walks starting at the village and many more starting a short drive away. The town is not as busy as some other nearby locations like Aviemore. We ate breakfasts and dinners in the attached restaurant, and the food was plentiful and good. The hotel provides many resources for birders.

Old world feel historical property. Nice dining room in restaurant . We had breakfast and dinner included which was good. Good dinner options. Biggest bathroom I have seen in the UK. Connected Bar and lounge equally inviting. Coffee was not good but tea was just fine. Would stay here again. Window drapes need update. But happy with our stay.

I had a big group coming to Scotland so I decided to book the Grant arms for ease. Price was fair and pictures looked great. The property is dated, but the staff makes up for it. There is few plugs in rooms and some guests found their room noisy and struggled to sleep through the night. I was pleasantly surprised by the good night sleep I had but unfortunately the breakfast was a huge disappointment. The scrambled eggs were soggy and tasted of butter solely. Also, they take payment a day in advance so if you’re planning to split payment for the rooms don’t trust the “pay at property” feature.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Unexpected room upgrade upon arrival which was wonderful. If you want charm in a beautiful Highlands locale along the whisky trail, this is it. Dinner was incredibly delicious in the hotel's dining room. Their chef is out of this world. Bar has every whisky known to man ... kidding of course, but they are well stocked and knowledgeable. We stayed one night and wished we had booked a longer visit. It was meant to be a stop on our way out of a two day drive through the Cairngorms National Park. It was a magical drive and this stay was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend.

Hotel is a little old / outdated. Breakfast was good! I was expecting a better / warmer welcome from the front desk team. Room is not very quiet but overall comfortable. Someone (staff) opened the door without knocking when I was in the room. Not sure if I would stay there again. Good for the price.

Rooms, lobby, and elevator need a major update. The bathroom shower curtain needs cleaning as well as the grout in the bathroom. Small details, but important ones. No where near the level of a four star hotel. It was more expensive than it was worth in my opinion. However, the staff was wonderful.
