With stunning views of the Grampian Mountains, it's no wonder that guests love the location of this hotel. If you're coming for a few days of adventure in the Cairngorms, the Invercauld Arms offers a great position, within easy reach of the major ski resorts and hiking trails.
The rooms are spacious and clean, according to guests, so you can relax and unpack without feeling cramped. Plus, you should find that things like towels and bed linens are changed as often as you need, with good daily servicing of the rooms.
The historic character of the building is a draw for many guests, who enjoy the period features and extensive gardens that the property offers. It will make you feel like Lord or Lady of the manor, making it a stay to remember.
Guests comment on the fact that the rooms are rather tired and dated, so it seems that some refurbishment is in order. It's an old, rather rambling building, so you might find that some areas are a bit dark and sombre too, which may not create the best first impression.
The lack of WiFi in the rooms is a bugbear for guests - you can only get online in the hotel's lobby, and depending on where your room is, this might be a fair trek away. It's a bit of a pain if you just want to check some emails.
The food isn't to the taste of many guests, who say that the selection can be limited, and the food a little dull. It seems that the hotel puts on special menus for large groups, but if you're visiting independently, you might find that your choices pale in comparison.
