Location
There is a wealth of things to do in this glorious area between the mountains, in the heart of the Cairngorm National Park. The popular TV series 'Monarch of the Glen' was filmed in several locations all around - to the west, for example, Laggan was Glenbogle village. An easy drive takes you to the magnificent sights of Loch Ness, recently featured in the Movie "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep".The museums at Newtonmore and Kingussie with their reconstructed buildings give a vivid insight into the old Highland life. Native wildlife (including wolves) can be seen at the Highland Wildlife Park at Kincraig. There are very entertaining working sheepdog displays near Kincraig.
The area offers a fabulous range of activities. In addition to the watersports centre on Loch Insh, Newtonmore and Kingussie both offer fine golf and also ponytrekking. The new Championship Spey Valley Golf Course is only a short drive from the hotel. Hunting and fishing can be arranged through the local estates. Walkers also have a huge choice, from the high-level routes on Creag Meagaidh (a national nature reserve) west of Laggan, (itself a good waking base). There is a Wildcat Trail round Newtonmore, plus an interpretation trail around Loch Insh - though with miles of mountains and forests, this is all excellent walking country.
The Cairngorms is Scotland’s finest mountain sports and skiing centre, with everything from sensational snow boarding and skiing, to stunning high and low level walks of all grades. For a more relaxing winter activity, visit the local reindeer herd and join in feeding the animals.

This small hotel was a real treat in early December, arriving very late after a long drive we were given a really warm welcome.
The rooms were spotless,comfortable and quiet.
Breakfast was traditional, well cooked and presented, porage was available.
The warm welcome and kind support marks this hotel as one that deserves a return visit.

Great value, the owner is a character if you want to have a few drinks over the bar. The room was clean and big enough, the bathroom worked quite well. Noticed a few of the comments below and thought I should clarify for people:
- We paid GBP64 for a couple with breakfast. Not sure what people expect for this, but was in summer. There is a backpacker place in town for GBP20 per person if that's what people are after, or there are expensive B&Bs if that's what people are after
- The bathroom worked, but I guess it is small compared to more expensive B&Bs
- We didn't eat in the restaurant for dinner, as we thought it wasn't that well priced and a small B&B is rarely going to cook everything fresh when it has a large menu and only a few diners - think about it. But it looked okay if you don't want to go out. We went down to the Glen Hotel in Newtonmore (next town) from a tip off at the local butchers who are fantastic (bought some pies off them and brought them home). The Glen hotel is fantastic value for good food, beer and mixing with the locals. 1.5 mile drive
- The breakfast was okay really, not gourmet, but again, what do you expect
I would definately recommend this little B&B for people passing through or looking to explore the surrounding highlands - much better than staying in Aviemore. Also - go 1 mile to visit the Ruthven Barracks ruins!
