Visited recently with the girlfriend, friendly staff, nice building and great food. Only lacking the final star as in the bedroom the table lamps didn't work, the bed was too soft to my liking (was fine for the girlfriend) but over all place was good. Would stay there again on next trip north.
Don't go there! eat of poor quality, placemats behind all greasy, you save only the kind staff
Very sweet owner with a passion for cooking. Although the restaurant looks a bit simple (almost like a youth hostel), the dinner is phenomenal. Next to the restaurant is a pub that you can walk to. We had a great chat with the locals. Scots are hospitable and friendly. You cannot escape being addressed and become involved.
The rooms are fine and clean and there is a lot to discover in the area! It is a great basis for going everywhere.
Food and bar's great but accommodation and cleaning needs attention and updating. Perfectly positioned by the Station, minutes walk to the centre or a 20 min walk to Ruthven Barracks.....
The chef needs chained to the oven best pub food i have ever had anywhere to the owners chain him up somewhere dont let that man leave
Looked ok, just popped into public bar for a Guinness did not stay in hotel. Good crack in the bar with the locals.
Long story short, our room's ceiling leaked majorly and completely soaked all of my husband's luggage. When I went to find someone to help (the housekeeper), she asked why we didn't use the bucket to catch the leak. I don't think it is unreasonable for a hotel guest to not expect a leaky roof. However, she was surprised because the leak was in a different place from where it usually leaks! We were told it was leaking because someone must be showering upstairs - so we had someone's dirty bath water all over my husband's belongings. I had to ask them to dry our clothes, which they did (a wash was not offered, despite the dirty water). What is even more disappointing is that no manager or owner approached us to apologize or offer to make amends, which shows they really don't care about their guests. Kingussie has many little hotels and inns, so please book elsewhere and save yourself the headache!
The room door did not lock on first night.The room was never serviced on the 4 nights I stayed. The food was ok but restaurant was dead. The hotel does not serve food on Thursdays and bar closes at 8pm on Thursday.Will not be back.
Original review down graded due to a repeat visit and different room. Such a contrast. Single room with shared bathroom. Lumpy mattress, sub par standard room. Wifi doesn't reach top floor. Water stained ceiling, weird lumps in old carpet. Particularly enjoyed finding strangers piss in the shared bathroom before using the facilities
---------------------------------------
Pleasantly surprised by how comfortable, clean and nice the rooms were. Great food at very reasonable prices and generous portions. Have stayed in similarly priced places nearby and this has been the nicest and best priced so far. Would definitely stay again
Food was poor and overpriced. The restaurant looked very sad for itself. The service was friendly but this didn't make up for the fact the food was substandard and slow. Don't waste your money here.
Dog friendly hotel that serves great food in a welcoming and friendly restaurant and bar and great value too
Lovely hotel spotlessly clean and great food. Another major place is it's dog friendly. . Great work guys
Good food selection. Room clean. Atmosphere wonderful. Gladly again.
Just had dinner. The chef and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Food excellent. Bedroom looks pretty comfortable too.
For breakfast I would even 5 stars forgive that was great. The restaurant is good. The rooms were also good and quiet although located on a stream and on the road. The pub was not that cute.
Had an amazing stay. Excellent location, cosy and comfortable rooms and amazing staff. The sound of the river just out of the window made it even more peaceful.
Staff was brilliant chef cooking was outstanding dinner and breakfast couldn t pick fault with it he was brilliant with my wee one so was the staff the place was great to stay in well clean the room look like 5 star it was really clean well presented the whole place was great I wouldn t mind stay again with my wee one
The staff are very friendly especially if you have a dog and the location is beautiful only a few miles drive from wilderness or a 20 minute walk to old barracks which look beautiful at sunrise. The room is comfortable, standard. Nothing to luxurious not untidy just standard what you would expect
The girl that we ve talked and gave us some information was so attencoius
The staff were extremely nice and friendly and the food in the restaurant very tasty and at comparably decent prices. They get 5 stars from me.
However the dirty shared bathroom and sweat smelling room took a lot out of our experience.
The shower - I was afraid I'll get a bug if I touch it with bare skin so flip flops are an absolute necessity. It was simply grey because of dirt and I believe it could be cleaned to a super nice standard with very little effort.
Then, the room I felt...or smelled...as if it was occupied by somebody that instead of taking a shower puts another layer of deodorant on his sweaty armpits.
Sort out the bathroom, refresh the room(s) and it will be a lovely place to stay.
Quite likely it is so if you're in an en-suite room with bathroom.
Beautiful nature. Friendly. Downside is noise from the train and my door could not be closed
Very disapointed in the food. I had the pork belly and the top was soggy, the mash potato was lumpy and the gray was clearly packet mix.
Very cozy, renovated rooms with renovated bathroom. The staff helpful. We were very comfortable. I do not put 5 stars because there was no dryer and the closet was a removable cloth. But I would definitely go back.
Great stay, lovely staff, quiet place, clean rooms..., breakfast is a must with real coffee !
Staff very friendly helpful and couldn't fault the food especially breakfast with our extra poached eggs lol. Will be back next year with a bigger group hopefully. Thanks again. Andy and Gary .
Fabulous stay! Staff very friendly and the food was amazing!!
Friendly staff, fine room, great food, really enjoyed the stay
Disappointing, after the fabulous food we had here 4 years ago. Still not bad though.
Had a great stay here. Very comfortable room and really lovely staff.
Was supposed to stay today but all doors were locked at noon. Tried to call and email no response. Nothing was ever relayed to me about them being closed at any time. Still waiting on response from them. Never again!
Excellent location (especially since traveling by train) beside picturesque lovely burn - calm sound of the water all night. Great value! Fantastic for walkers and visiting the Highland wildlife park. Lovely genuinely friendly staff
Amazing hospitality such a beautiful place to stay and the food is outstanding! Looking forward to staying again
Last minute booking for a double room with breakfast.
The room was well presented and clean. However the window was not able to be sealed shut. Which meant that there was a howling draft all night. The blinds rattled in the draft alongside this.
Car park was not large enough to accommodate all the guests in the hotel. Conveniently the church car park was opposite and we were not visiting during Sunday service.
Breakfast was abysmal. Poor quality ingredients and very small portions did not justify the amount paid in advance. Limited cold breakfast options, poor quality instant tea and coffee, topped off with a decidedly mediocre but stingy cooked 'full' breakfast.
Would recommend this place in a pinch but advise against if you have options.
A bit slow to serve but food with excellent value for money
Starters are very good but for vegetarians not the best option.... main dish almost like the starter
It is a simple hotel and it is OK , but I would try to avoid in the future because
- the room had a funny fishy smell
- the room was not cleaned over the day
- the matress was cheap and uncomfortable
The Food was awesome. We had the Burger and the grilled chicken. It was delicious. We can definitely recommend this place!
Clean, simple & affordable rooms. Great customer service
Staff were friendly and the food was great. The theme for the night was steak, and the platters were very generous with perfectly cooked meat. I would recommend this place to all staying in the area
The Silverfjord Hotel is an old building with easy access to the train and the town. Very warm welcome but as soon as you enter your room you'll notice that it's bathroom and rooms are poorly maintained. Which was a bummer because the owner and it's staff were very kind and friendly.
The food is not bad, but might be a little overpriced.
In general it was looking clean, but I could feel a strong smell from the carpets. The staff friendly,
Stopped for one night. Rooms were clean enough, had a bit of a funny smell. It's a good place for a night or two.
We did not overnight here but did eat here very good. Best food until now of our holidays. And very friendy people.
On an extremely quite Boxing Day evening I was not expecting too much but was very pleasantly surprised.
Great staff and beautiful food, can't ask for much more than that.
