We wanted a couple of days away after New year. We have stayed in the Cairn before, a few years back and were aware that it was under new management. It could not be better.

This is the second time I have stayed here and this time it was business. Stayed with a colleague and the rooms were clean and tidy. Staff friendly, food exceptional. What more can I say. I will be returning. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. More

The cairn is a welcoming highland hotel with a great wee bar and nice log fire. I had drank in the bar in 2010 so when the time came to visit the area again this year, I chose to stay in the hotel. Our room was ensuite, clean and the food is excellent, with a good choice of real ales... More

Stayed at a house in Carrbridge but went here twice for dinner. The food was excellent and the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help. I would thoroughly recommend and in fact I would stay there due to the service received at mealtimes if I was back in the future. More
