Tarland Hotels

"The lodge was very spacious, the rooms were clean, had everything you needed including a cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. All you need for a home away from home. Next time we will probably bring our own food stay a little longer and have a good look around the area. "

"Did not use all the facilities but had a wonderful stay. Be great to have a similar hotel near Aviemore as that is where we spent most our time. Loved the spacious and very clean suite that we stayed in."

"We loved our stay in the Balmoral Arms. The food was delicious (breakfast and evening meals) and the staff were lovely. Our room was very comfortable and the large lounge had lots of places to sit and relax. While there were no parking spaces left outside the door there was a large free car park close by, along with local shops and cafes. Great place to stay and hopefully we will return."

"Pleasant staff. Comfortable rooms. "

"What a magical little place this is! Absolutely loved the cabin and all the unique decor and trinkets and the location is breathtaking…so peaceful. The couples hot tub was perfect and nice to relax in after coming back from lovely walks. Well done to the owners of the Sweet Donside Cabins. We’d love to come back."

"Beautiful rooms and lovely setting on river. Very elegant decor and great food. A choice of fine dining or relaxed dining in the charming bar. A lovely relaxing stay and very dog friendly. "

"Staff are wonderful and the food was excellent. Wine over priced but ambience in the restaurant and hotel is top notch."

"Lovely place, friendly staff, good food and nice selection of beer on tap. Will definitely look forward to going back. "

"Room extremely dirty Shower tray was unclean with dirt at bottom Corners of toilet and rooms full of dust Radiators dusty Window sill and skirting had not been cleaned for months Moved to a different room- Spent at least 15 minutes getting the correct key from receptionist - eventually was given a master key since they could not get a key for the room one light in bathroom not working Smoke detector missing from roof Receptionist was pleasant and helpful but requires training Gentleman on duty told us the reason for the room not being cleaned was that the housekeeper was rushed to hospital the night before but that was not substantiated by other staff Another member of staff said that the person cleaning the room had only been in post for a month so he was bound to make mistakes! The gentleman also questioned,infront of other people, why I had bar glasses in my bag - very embarrassing! I explained that the girl behind the bar who was also the receptionist said to take the glasses with me up to the bedroom Dreadful experience overall"
