We ordered takeaway pizza after climbing Ben Nevis as we were just too tired to cook. Our apparentment was 20 minutes drive away from this restaurant. The buffet looked absolutely immense but sadly we had just missed the cut off time. Happy with the pizzas, consumed them very fast as we were so hungry! 👌

The food was absolutely amazing and the portions are big starter and main couldn't believe the size of the lasagne and it was delicious can definitely tell it's home made Robert was a great server smiling and throwing little jokes the atmosphere was great too definitely recommend the place and will be back

The service is super friendly and the food is nice. It’s not a super fancy place but it’s clean and it’s great value for money. They have buffet deals as well as a la carte and I’d defo return.

The place specialises in pasta and pizza and both were very good. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall a great place.

Hey there! So, we had a bit of a mixed bag at this little place we found after a long drive. On a Tuesday evening, we were hoping to enjoy a meal from the menu, but alas, it was closed. Instead, we were offered the “all you can eat buffet,” which came in at around £80 for two adults and two young ones. That was a bit steep for us, to be honest. On the bright side, the food was absolutely delicious! The salad bar and pasta choices were top-notch. The pizza was also tasty, but it could use a bit more variety in the toppings. The staff were super friendly and helpful. One lady in particular was a real gem, with a magical touch for the kids. They kept us all entertained and happy. We’ll definitely be back when we’ve saved up a bit more. Who knows, maybe we’ll find a better deal then!

What a fantastic find .Great restaurant with friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Not a massive menu but plenty to choose from for both adults and kids .Chose off the menu on our first visit . minestrone soup,filo prawns, focaccia and pate all delicious and well presented .mains arrived and again not disappointed,great portions and the "best carbonara" our daughter has tasted. Second visit we opted for a mix of menu and buffet and again not disappointed with either . Buffet lots of choice of salad,pizza and pasta.Food was hot and really tasty ,my favourite being the pepperoni meatballs and ravioli in a creamy mushroom sauce .Great value for money .we were the last to leave but didn't feel rushed out as some have mentioned in other comments . All in all the best 2 meals of our holiday.

Just an all round disappointment. Me and my missus wanted to visit here for years, dunno why, seemed busy, looked nice from outsides, we had the chance being nearby that evening. Still had a 4.2 rating on google so didnt think would be bad. Id wish id read some recent reveiws. So we got seated right away and was told its either buffet or a la carte menu, ordered some drinks and by the time they came we decided just to go for the buffet as our lads would smash a whole lot of pizza no problem. Cold section was generic itailian style cold rice, pastas and a tattie salad, then warm section a creamy ravioli and some meatballs in a tomato sauce. The ravioli was bland as hell and the meatballs we soft things akin to the old tinned campbells meatballs processed lumps. Really low quality. My kids hardly ate any pizza one had a few rounds of softscoop icecream, by this point i was more than ready to leave, cut my losses. There was loads of staff around i found quite weird actually how many, the one I dealt with seated us and got our drinks, ive only given a two as its self service buffet and i went up to get/pay my bill aswell. Will never be back.

Rooms are small but beds comfortable. Showers average. Hotel is dog friendly but dogs aren't allowed anywhere downstairs except the foyer. Plenty of dog friendly pubs and restaurants nearby, but odd that they aren't allowed in the bar of the hotel you’re staying at. Great location and good parking. Staff are friendly.

This hotel is directly across from the train station but I did not hear the train at night. I booked two king size rooms for our party. Both rooms were spacious with a large window. One room required a sizeable step up to access the bathroom, the other room did not. I could hear people passing by my room at night, but I did not hear noise from adjacent rooms. The highlight of my stay was the breakfast which we purchased as an add on. It’s a massive feast with so much selection. The service in the dining room was excellent. The food was also excellent. We had a drink in the pub the night we arrived. The pub was part of the hotel and it appeared to have a good mix of locals and hotel guests. This hotel had a lot of character (hunting lodge vibe) - you won’t get a chain hotel experience. I do like chain hotels and the consistency of experience they offer but this was a totally different experience that we welcomed for a change. I recommend this hotel and splurging for the breakfast; you likely won’t need lunch!

Went for dinner with family for my two year olds birthday and honestly the service was just outstanding. Alan, our waiter, went above and beyond. We asked for the childrens meals to be ordered and to come out ASAP, and that they did. They also came out with a birthday cake for my boy and candles singing happy birthday. On top of that all our food was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back! Thanks again!

We stayed here from 29th September for my wife's 65th birthday in the lovely room that looks over to the station. Can't praise the staff enough. At dinner they appeared with a lovely cake with candles for my wife. On our next night they seated us at the table on its own in the turret which was smashing. Food was amazing well cooked and piping hot. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

The staff was very nice, the atmosphere classic and cosy. The bar was fun, the food at the restaurant also good. Overall one of the best hotels we stayed in Scotland, sadly that still doesn't mean it was perfect (sorry Scottish hospitality but gotta be honest) but for what we experienced overall it was the best out of the 5 places we stayed at!

Very nice hotel, pleasent staff and good food all beit a bit pricey! But where isn't these days! The room was on the small side and outdated including the TV! which must of been over 20 yrs old! The only advice I would give is avoid staying if they have live entertainment online the bar. Especially if your not planning on going to it and you are up early the next day as it's very loud still in the bedrooms above.

We didnt stay at the hotel but we had food which was soo good. I had the mince steak and tatties and my partner had the roast and both were perfect sportions and tasted amazing. Service was quick and staff were friendly and polite

It was okay! I feel like I expected more from this place. The food was just okay, service was hard. We walked in and were ignored for a bit before a guy behind the bar was super kind and offered to serve us. We were there for quite a long time just for lunch, I was hoping to be in and out much quicker than that

Stopped off for a quick lunch on our way past and it did not disappoint! Really chilled atmosphere/vibe , some cool decor , friendly service from Teigan and Bev, the burgers were really good but the roulade dessert was absolutely amazing. So tasty! Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Wonderful experience. I rarely leave reviews as I work in hospitality management and tend to be overly picky, however this so lovely I felt like I had to! The staff were welcoming. The food was outstanding. The oysters were some of the best I’ve ever had, I could probably have had about 20! Normally I would not have ordered a chicken dish but oh my gosh it was delicious. You can tell the chefs really care about their cooking and put love and thought into all their dishes. The wine menu was also a really welcome change from the boring standard restaurant choices. This shows the whole operation was carefully thought out. When the bill came I was surprised by the amazing value for money! We will definitely be back time and time again!

Best place for a real ale in Aviemore. We've visited the OBI quite a bit over the years and love this place. Most recently, the real ale selection was fantastic, and really well kept. We had the fillet steak, which was cooked exactly as we asked and had a lovely flavour. The smoked peanuts are also very good!

We visited for a Sunday roast after a morning up in the mountains and we were not disappointed. Friendly staff, prompt service, delicious food and good portion sizes. We both had the soup followed by roast pork with all the trimmings and we felt these were good value. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing atmosphere and staff, food not as great though - quite limited choice on the menu. Spring roll was quite tasteless, main course - chicken was tasty but the chicken breast was Asda dry as a bone. Desert was amazing - poached pear and Ice cream. If I went back I'd have a different starter then a pudding.

We went in for dinner but it was fully booked. The food looked good so we were disappointed. Interesting alpine ski vibe with Aussie bar staff and waiters. Thought we were in the Kangaroo Bar in St Anton!! We had a couple of pints at the bar but didn't feel very included/loved. A popular but slightly aloof place. Book in advance.

Wonderful experience! My husband and I had a light dinner and dessert here recently. I had the soup of the day, which was carrot & coriander soup and honestly it was the best soup I've ever had! I wanted to ask for the recipe :) My husband had the Cullen skink....which he loved. We ended with sticky toffee pudding and it did not disappoint! Staff were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Great laid back atmosphere. Brilliant hearty food with large portions. Good choice of beer. Nice outdoor seating. Staff although busy were friendly and professional. Recommend you book as it seemed busy.

Stopped in for lunch after we had done the hill hike to see the Cairngorms reindeer herd. When we arrived they were still cleaning up after having a bus group that had slammed them. The staff were friendly and helpful and had us seated in no time. The food and drinks were excellent, as the steak pie and cullin skink were wonderful.

Easy to park and lovely outdoors, weather permitting, centrally located, popular place. We visited for lunch on a quieter day. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good customer service 👍 Food was good quality and reasonably priced. This is our third visit and will come back again. Well done 👏

I was positively surprised by the food in the restaurant, as we thought it would be more of a pub style. We got the steak and Guiness pie, which was delicious, and the black pork garlic, which was lovely as well, and the presentation was great. The restaurant is also really cute. It did take a while to be served. Nice selection of beers.

Wow what a place. Went for a few drinks earlier in day and I had seen so many great reviews so decided to try out for dinner in the evening. The food was incredible, really good home comfort food and the steak pie was unbelievable. The steak was soft and the right amount of gravy. My daughter got the gambas pil pil and wanted another portion it was that tasty 😋 You have to finish off with the sticky toffee pudding. The place was full and the atmosphere was amazing. The staff were so pleasant and very attentive. Would highly recommend and will definitely come back on our next visit.

Lovely restaurant in middle of Aviemore. We were there for a birthday celebration. Staff were lovely, beautiful meal, huge portions especially for kids.

Been here a number of times but last night we went for the seafood platter. Incredible! Give them 24 hours notice and they will provide you an incredible feast. Super easy to do, we had it for 4 people and it was 👌🏻👌🏻 Well done guys! So glad this is on our doorstep Book in advance, help them manage their guests 😊

The steak was absolutely amazing. Beautifully tender, , prepared exactly as I ordered. I haven't enjoyed beef like this in a long time. Unfortunately, what completely disappointed me were the fries :-/ They were too oily and soft for my taste. The environment and the staff were very nice. The reservation was a good choice. Thanks

We stayed in Boat of Garten and dined at Anderson’s twice during our visit. The food was outstanding—succulent, fresh, and absolutely mouthwatering—paired with impeccable service that made each meal memorable. Jordan, the head chef, is clearly passionate and dedicated, with a real talent for creating dishes that are both beautifully presented and uniquely crafted. Anderson’s is a true gem, and we’ll definitely be returning the next time we’re in Scotland.

Lovely intimate restaurant in the heart of Boat of Garten. Service throughout was attentive, efficient and friendly. The food was excellent and a nice mix between bistro and pizzeria. The menu was varied but not extensive, and the food we had was delicious and well cooked. They also do takeaway wood fired pizza from a window at the side of the building and we’d definitely give that a try next time we’re in the area. We’d also visit the restaurant again to try out more of the bistro menu.

Top! Forget about local hotels, food quality is atrocious. This place is top tear! Quality, taste, lovely staff.. just top

Had a nice main meal here but I could not believe my eyes when the apple crumble was brought to the table. Absolutely appalling! I’m still in shock at what was served in front of me. The main meal was already expensive enough, so you’d think a pricey place would give you an unforgettable apple crumble especially charging £8 for it! We waited quite some time for it so we hoped it would be good and were looking forward to it until we saw this….. Tinned apple with water remains topped with cheap granola! Absolutely awful to serve this for such a price, let alone even half that price. So disappointing….

Fantastic pizzas! Ordered takeaway online and the pickup was ready when we arrived. Dough was nice and chewy, toppings were great. My favourite would probably be the Salami Piccante, I loved the chilli honey. The padron peppers were great too.

Great pub food in Aviemore, with fantastic staff who were welcoming and interested in our day. The pub is dog friendly, serving dinner for your pups. I'd recommend the macaroni and the kids meals. The haggis bon bons are lovely but I felt the chips were not the best. Overall it's worth a trip but I'm not sure I'd go for seconds.

Outstanding place to eat. Dog friendly, very attentive and polite staff, delicious food. Best in the area 👏❤️

Nice restaurant bar 🍺 with friendly and welcoming staff, dog friendly, delicious food, wide array of drinks, dog menu and nice calm atmosphere with racing history on the walls.

What a lovely place with lovely staff! Dog friendly and had a doggy menu. Food was lovely and we will deffinatly visit again before we head home.

Love stopping at Macdui's for fish & chips w/mushy peas when I'm visiting Scotland, but most especially on this trip because I got to meet sweet Alfie, the pub dog!! 🥰

We wanted to like this place. We really did. The server was a sweet heart and funny as hell. But oof the food. The nachos were thrown together in probably less than 10 seconds. My friend's burger looked and tasted sad. My veggie burger was forgettable. We arrived towards the end of the evening, so maybe the kitchen decided to mail it in with our table - hard to say.

Good food, decent menu. Staff were great.

I ordered a single battered fish and haggis pudding. Both were fine—the fish was crispy but not too stodgy. As a man trying haggis for the first time, I found it to be quite a large portion, which was too much for me.

Blinking lovely! Absolutely recommended. If you're vegetarian like us, there is some good options, but the deep fried veggie haggis was just to die for!! Portions were huge and cost was good for the amount of food too. Deep fried mars bar was a must try and it was delicious. The staff were brilliant, really friendly and the Happy Haggis was clean and inviting. Will visit again on our next trip to Aviemore!

"I agree—this is the world-famous and most delicious fish and chips ever! I came all the way from London to Aviemore for hiking, and especially to enjoy this perfectly breaded fish with chips. Excellent customer service and such lovely people!"

Great Fish and Chips. Curry sauce and peas are also great. Shame it takes so long to order and it's is rather expensive.

I come across this place after searching for some eatery places while working in the area, place looked busy which was a good start. Both members of staff nice & friendly i went for a double burger with bacon as a supper, £16 ish with a can of juice too. Burger itself the burgers inside didn't taste full quality they did taste rather cheap, everything else sauce salad bacon etc was spot on as was the chips, I couldn't fault the service got a bleeper to wait, didn't wait too long for food either. 4.5 out of 5 if burgers quality was better I'd have given a 5 (The meat) Staff 5/5 Location 5/5 Price 3.5/5 Use them again? Yes friendly and enjoyed the seating area

No trip to Scotland is complete without a Battered Mars Bar and these guys delivered! Delicious crunchy batter with warm gooey nougat and caramel goodness inside. Went on a Friday night and it was VERY busy so be prepared to wait a little while if you go during peak times, but well worth the wait!

Must be free range... First visit to Aviemore today, came to dinner time, so had a look to see where the local chippy was. We don't have haggis suppers in England, so make the most of it whenever I'm up here. Have had some good ones, and some...not so good ones. I think this might be the best one yet, must be free range haggis 😄😋❤️

We drove about half an hour to this place and it was totally worth it! Two of us four eat vegan and they have an extra vegan menu and also a vegetarian menu. The vegan haggis was awesome! You can eat Scottish classics here. My parents had the Steak and Ale Pie and the Chicken Balmoral and they both really enjoyed it. We liked that they have a "dogs welcome" sign at the door. The staff is very friendly. You should book a table to make sure you can eat here.

Very cute restaurant in Grantown-on-Spey. Service was adequate; nice people who work there but our waitress wasn't super interactive. Menu had a good variety. Kids menu available. Tons of drink options - has quite the Scotch collection. Husband had the chili and really enjoyed it; I had chicken tenders and they were very good. Our son had sausage with vegetables and ate it all! Highly recommend if passing through this area or staying nearby.

Awesome little pub with delicious food, friendly service and great vibes. They also have a large selection of scottish beers. We had the turkey roast dinner, venison casserole and 2 types of desserts, all amazing.

We had lunch here with a large dog and a noisy baby. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They had a great gluten free menu for myself and also a vegan menu for my wife. Great selection of drinks, soft and hard. Baby changing facilities available which really helped.

We were happy to be there. We were so lucky to have a table since we didn't make any reservations. It was always full. Glad that no puffins were hurt when they prepared the menu. The food was delicious. We had lasagna and smoked haddock fish cake - quality!

Had the venison and ale steak pie, the pie was most yummy

Great food,kind service, great atmosphere and not very expensive 👍 If I'll be in neighbourhood someday definitely will eat there again.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, comfy room, hot shower, ample parking, lovely staff and amazing breakfast. The porridge, fruit bowl and 3-egg omelette were incredible! However, a beer and whisky invoiced to me post-stay. Please look at my profile picture, it was not me who ordered those drinks to Room 7!

We had a wonderful dining experience at the Rowan Tree Country Hotel, just outside Aviemore. The restaurant is full of character, set in an old 18th-century building with open fires, wood beams, and a cosy, homely atmosphere overlooking Loch Alvie. The food was exceptional. The menu showcases fresh, locally sourced produce with real creativity—Scottish classics like venison, lamb, and salmon are prepared beautifully, The bar is also impressive, with an extensive choice of whiskies, gins, and local ales. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Staff were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to accommodate dietary requirements. It’s clear they take pride in making sure everyone has a great experience. Overall, this is one of the best meals we’ve had in the Aviemore area—great value, outstanding quality, and a perfect setting for a relaxed Highland evening. Highly recommended, whether you’re staying at the hotel or just looking for a memorable dinner.

I had a truly wonderful stay at the Rowan Tree Country Hotel & Restaurant. The location is stunning — nestled beside a tranquil loch with breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings that make it feel like a true escape from the world. The hotel itself has so much character, blending rustic charm with warm hospitality. The room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with all the comforts I needed. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. The food at the restaurant was delicious — hearty, freshly prepared, and full of local flavour. This place is a hidden gem in the Highlands. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore the scenic beauty nearby, I’d absolutely recommend it and would love to come back again!

We had a great stay at Rowan tree country hotel with our dog. The walk next to the door is just amazing. Breakfast menu is great and service is excellent.

I stayed at the Rowan Tree Country Hotel for a week with my husband and three autistic teenagers and dog! The accommodation was perfect for us whilst being clean, comfortable and attractive, as we had two rooms opposite each other on their own floor, almost like a suite! We can't recommend the hotel highly enough. It was the first time my children had stayed in a hotel, and it could have been difficult, but the hosts and staff were very understanding and accommodating to their needs. Good wifi, of course, helps with teenagers too! The food was delicious and scenery stunning. This hotel is perfectly positioned for exploring many Scottish sights and walking or just relaxing in the beautiful mountains. We all had an amazing week, seeing dolphins in the Moray Firth, paddle boarding on lochs and doing a boat trip on Loch Ness. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our time in The Rowan Tree. We had a beautifull room. It was clean, comfortable and the bed was great. The hotel itself is everything you expect from a hotel in the Highlands: the interior, the atmosphere, everything breathes Scottish hospitality. The staff was very friendly and capable. Both owners were friendly, helpfull and even special wishes were granted! The food is very tasty...and so on. If you want to visit the Spey Valley: this is the place to be!

We only ate at the restaurant and were delighted with both the food and service. This place has an elegantly simple menu; the tagine and the venison were great, as were the crumble, the cheese platter and the wine.

What a wonderful place to spend an evening! the meal was second to none (best fish and chips I’ve ever had, and that’s saying a lot coming from the coast). The service from the restauranteur and the waiting staff was brilliant. I regretted not getting a dessert! Great vibe in the pub afterwards. Cairn hotel is the perfect representation of Carrbridge, warm and friendly.

Just happened upon this beautiful quaint restaurant/bar while out for a drive. Super friendly staff, delicious food (steak and ale pie/ Angus burger with both of us having sticky toffee pudding) I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s also dog friendly. I’m sure my friend and I will be back

Everyone at the Cairn Hotel has been super lovely and attentive! The location is great, the staff are great, the food was great and so was the ale! A hidden gem on the edge of the Cairngorms with great pricing, will be absolutely staying here again if I’m ever nearby!

Really good pub with bar meals or a small restraunt if you want to be a bit more quiet. It probably needs a bit of a tidy up but that's part of the charm. Nice outside area for a drink on a sunny day. Not stayed in the rooms personally but people I know who have say they are OK.

Stayed here for a single night on my way further north. Had a small single room in the attic which fitted my needs with a double bed, though it was a little too soft for my preference, and a stand in shower, though the door on it didn't fully close, making it a little cramped. In addition, the handle on the rooms door was busted and made it hard to turn. However, there was free coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water and even a chocolate bar on arrival. TV with great reception and great WiFi. In the evening I had a nice stuffed chicken breast with roast carrots that was lovingly presented, and a Scottish take on an afogato with honey whisky which really nade the taste incredible. Breakfast was included in the price and it was a nice typical British and Scottish selection. Met several members of staff throughout my time there, all of whom were very friendly and helpful, especially the person I assumed was the manager who was able to help me with a few issues. There is also a Spar just down the road if you need supplies. Overall, it's a nice place to stay for the price, though I feel the room could have used some light maintenance.

great selection of beers, extremely friendly staff and very helpful. only used as as a bar so can't comment on the rooms or hotel. looking forward to next visit, only downside is I'm only here on holiday for a few more days.

Warm and friendly family run hotel with a very attentive owner who is a friendly and helpful presence. No frills comfort and hospitality. Highly recommended.

A small but highly functional airport in a beautiful location. Perfect destination for exploring the North East of Scotland. Be aware BR "Inverness Airport" train station is not an integral part of the airport ( as one might reasonably expect ) but instead is a 1,000m walk away, via a footpath. If you have luggage, and/or small kids, it is a 1 mile taxi ride !

Great airport - friendly atmosphere and good service. In keeping with the highlands it’s a small airport in comparison to the bigger cities but very efficient. The security gates are sometimes busy when arriving for a flight and it’s better to get here earlier than later on

I found Inverness Airport by googling Airports in Scotland. I googled Images of Inverness City Scotland. Then I opened Google Map to type Inverness. I found hotels, restaurants and things to do. I typed bars with live Scottish music, plenty of them in the city center. I also typed tour companies in Inverness, plenty of them. Inverness Airport won my attention. I took the Airport Railway foot path to the train station when I arrived from London. On my return flight, I took the Stagecoach bus across the train station in the city center. I arrived early at the Inverness Airport to relax and wander thru the shops. The shop sell Scotch, a large variety to please every budget. Vhuntermassage LLC

The airport is small, but has everything it needs and clean bathrooms. The bus to the city was very expensive - around 9 pounds per person. If you are more than 2-3 people, it is cheaper to get an Uber.

A nice smaller airport with a nice assortment of services like car rental and eating. The good thing is it doesn't take long to get your luggage.

“The most unusual airport in the world! Either it is significantly outdated compared to others, or the staff simply have too much time on their hands if they require passengers to undress down to their shirts. 🤦🤦 There is a single, seemingly endless line for check-in, luggage is measured for every passenger, and regardless of the flight time, all shops remain closed. It is a clear case of ambition exceeding capability. It’s just a small airport, yet the staff behave as if it were the most important one in the world.” Service to improve!!!!

I had a great experience at Inverness Airport. It’s small but very comfortable, with plenty of seating and nice cafes to relax in before your flight. The location is very convenient, and it felt very safe and clean throughout. Definitely my go-to airport when flying from the Highlands."
