Carrbridge Hotel Reviews

This rustic hotel with modern amenities was established in 1803, nine years before the War of 1812 began in the relatively new country called the United States of America, independent from British rule. It was also established six years before Abraham Lincoln’s birth. It’s located about 25 miles south of Inverness—in the heart of the Highlands. I found a warm welcome that cold October day, with sleet pinging off the windows of the tour bus. This Floridian couldn’t understand how it could be that cold at the end of a tropical summer. The staff members were exceptionally accommodating. Breakfast was piping hot and plentiful. Carrbridge Hotel is the perfect lodging for day trips to many attractions in the Highlands. Our tour group enjoyed many of those attractions topped off with an excellent meal. This is the perfect hotel for experiencing TRUE Scotland and a welcoming European ambiance.

. a lovely hotel - staff are amazing, very friendly and approachable. The room was immaculately clean. The food was lovely and my espresso martini mixed to perfection. Great selection at breakfast. They also have a good selection of real ales. Perfect location for exploring the surrounding woodlands, where we saw a stag! Also a river walk on the doorstep! Would definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay.

No entertainment ! 10 minute piper is not what we come for..Our highlight of our many visits is superb guitarist singer ,in-house entertainer who seems to have disappeared . Alfie..Location and hotel lovely but run of the mill without Alfie giving full package

My partner and I stopped off to have dinner here, we both had burgers and they were delicious! Would definitely recommend the carrbridge burger. Our server Martin was lovely, and very attentive. He made sure we were well looked after. However, it was disappointing to hear Paula whilst eating our meal, who appeared to be the restaurant manager by the way she was speaking to another staff members! It wasn’t nice to hear or watch her speak to staff in such a disgusting manner. This happened on two separate occasions whilst we dined to two different members of staff. New manager needed in this area I think, as she was extremely rude to both staff and spoke to them like something off the bottom of her shoe. The poor girl she had shouted at looked as if she was going to cry. She completely degraded her staff in front of customers.

The hotel is totally under staffed. Daily room service is only - empty the rubbish...that's all. clean towels if you ask. 2 waitresses to serve 100 plus people. And worst of all....no hot water for shower or bath for 3 days...only tepid. Really disappointing for a beautiful location

We stayed here for 4 nights as part of a coach package trip with Newmarket Holidays. The hotel is in a lovely spot, it's only 3 star but they did very well catering for a number of different coach parties each day. The staff were friendly and helpful and the drinks were not overpriced. We had a choice of meals, there were about 6 starters, at least 10 mains and there was something for everyone. They didn't grunt at you if you wanted potatoes instead of chips, nothing was too much trouble. They did well. We had an accessible room with 2 double beds which suited us well. There was a lift and we negotiated the hotel with ease. The only small negative with our room 504 was that it was above the kitchen and an extractor kept going until what sounded like, the washing up had finished. It turned off at the latest at 11.30pm. It was no trouble to me but they did start banging around quite early in the morning. Hey ho, no biggy.

Very unfriendly staff at the reception. Basic questions unwilling to be answered. Got “told-off” because of using the main-entrance instead of the back-entrance towards the carpark. No idea why the entrance to the reception-desk is a major issue. Poor welcome !

I attended the line dancing weekend at The Carrbridge Hotel. I had a great weekend, I was sad to go home. It was just superb. My room was clean and fresh. I found the hotel to be welcoming, the food was delicious and great staff. Thank you to all the staff. I enjoyed the hotel Bar the most. The atmosphere was friendly, cozy and relaxed. Looking forward to coming back next year again, keep up the good work all.

The hotel is a work in progress. Unfinished work to the building, poor quality food and limited housekeeping. A lift that did not work for the duration of my stay and there were no signs of an engineer attending in the week I stayed. In fairness the staff were quite pleasant but would not recommend this hotel

We stayed due to the A9 being closed with snow. Staff were amazing and very helpful and thankfully could fit us in. We did not have dinner as we arrived late, but had a nice drink by the fireside. Bed was very comfy and had a good night sleep Breakfast in the morning was excellent.

We stayed as part of a 4 night coach trip to this hotel. Wonderful welcome on arrival with lovely fires after a long day of travel. Our room was ground floor by the river, the room was wonderful and clean. Breakfast excellent selection! We were so happy with the upgraded evening menu we received, my husband and I enjoyed the selection and the opportunity to order what we wanted. (sticky chicken a firm favourite) we also loved the buffet dessert option of cold and hot puddings. Staff very helpful and hard working I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

We stayed over Christmas had a wonderful holiday. Our bed was very comfortable, room was warm and clean. Meals were very good especially the buffet on Christmas Day! Hotel staff very friendly. Entertainment was good and fun, we enjoyed Alfie and surprise appearance of Elvis. The piper on the 26th December was amazing! Massive thank you for opening up due to snow on the A9, was greatly appreciated.

Just back from an amazing line dancing weekend! A big thank you to Lisa in Reception, brilliant service thank you for all your help. Hotel looks amazing, just done some refurbishment. Room's very clean, food was excellent. Booked for next year!

There for a linedance weekend, Adapted room lovely, with a settee to relax on and watch TV. Facilities and staff excellent. Lady in reception really helpful when we discovered we didn't have an adapted room, no problem to change it also very quick to sort out any issues (not that there were many). Food great! Nothing too much trouble. Everything homemade and fresh. Lovely spacious venue.
