It was my mates 50th birthday and she got a free shot .. The environment was great and we could have sat there all day... The... More

Ate here recently for the first time although we've stopped in the bar before. Good atmosphere, very busy but only waited 20mins for table. They dont take reservations.Food was high standard pub grub,and very resonably priced, would definately eat here again.

We simply love going to the Cairngorm for lunch or dinner as the food, service of all the staff and the overall experience is first class. Good choice of food to pick from, large portions and reasonable prices - what else can you ask for!

My parents loved the roast dinner, well apart from the yorkshire pudding that was rock hard. My little girl's pizza was a budget frozen pizza covered in a thick layer of greasy cheddar cheese (£6.95!). The base was so soggy she couldn't lift it up. My Cajun chicken which was suposed to be from the grill was obviously fried and... More

If you are of a certain age, you'll probably love the Cairngorm, but for us it was just OK. Food was good, 'Stag' beer was excellent, but the place lacked a bit of atmosphere and made us feel a bit like we were on a coach party. On the plus side our group had 4 different main courses from the... More

We stopped in for dinner here tonight - we're staying in the McDonald resort. The service was fast and super attentive and the food was delicious. I'm on the WeightWatchers filling and healthy plan and it was very easy to get suitable dishes that fitted the plan. Excellent value for money too!

Popped into the Cairngorm Hotel for lunch last Sunday and ended up staying all afternoon. There were eight of us all ordered starters and main courses and due to the amount of food, much later shared two puddings. The food was not only delicious and a big helping it was also for a hotel really reasonable. The staff were great... More

We having been coming here on and off for several years and have been awarded with excellent food every time. The meal on our latest visit was to the usual excellent standard and the amount was way too much for my wife, brilliant mince and tatties. The service is first class and the range of dishes is very good. Highly... More

a nice cosy, traditional local hotel with good food on the menu at a decent price and a nice bar area to sup a ale and watch the football

We've just spent a week in Aviemore on a ski holiday and visited the Cairngorm most evenings, either for an apres ski drink or supper. Bar has a great atmosphere, with two local Cairngorm brewery ales on tap, a wide selection of whisky and friendly welcoming staff. Live music featured on a couple of evenings during the week. There is... More
