Kincraig Castle Hotel

Very nice room, helpful staff, the hotel was well decorated and not looking ‘tired’ like so many hotels in a rural location. It was also nice and warm, unlike many similar hotels in winter. The breakfast was good and nicely presented.

We had a beautiful spacious room, the facilities were all very clean and comfortable, and the hotel staff were very accommodating. When we arrived we were told that they would not be serving dinner that evening because they don't serve dinner on Mondays, but the staff were quick to offer us alternatives and help us order food from a nearby restaurant to have in the hotel bar. The breakfast the next morning was excellent as well.

The Castle and grounds were wonderful. We stayed in the Castle Room with a View... incredible space and bath. Vijay and Joyce were both instrumental in making our stay better than comfortable; this was one of the best stops during our vacation. The living area was comfortable, with enough room to provide a comfortable space between other groups seated in the room. We ordered dinner one evening and a private table was setup for us in the huge room, in one of the big window. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. We had the most fun in the bar with Sam and Allison... one evening Sam ordering take-out for us to be delivered to the Castle, and then set a table for us in the bar; just fun! The castle was great, and the staff were wonderful.

From the warm, friendly and helpful welcome we received upon our arrival through to the comfort of the mattress everything at Kincraig either matched or exceeded our expectations. Kincraig Castle Hotel is very conveniently situated on the A9 route thirty minutes north of Inverness. It is set well back from the road so traffic is neither seen nor heard. The grounds are very pleasant and afford views into the distance across fields to the south. The same view is seen from the dining room, bar and some bedrooms. The bedroom we had was very spacious with wardrobe, drawers, desk, two arm chairs, small table and TV. The bathroom was large and brightly decorated. Both rooms were well heated and most comfortable in March. The main lounge area was large with an open fire burning bright, a wide range of comfortable seating and decorated as well as furnished to a high standard. The restaurant was bright and cheerful with tables well spaced and excellent service from very positive, attentive staff. Food at dinner was very tasty and well presented with a short, but varied, menu. At breakfast there was a very good selection of cereals, fruit, compote, yoghurt, fruit juice, etc. The hot menu as well as the usual Scottish fare included a variety of other options including smashed avocado on toast with a very nice salsa, poached eggs and balsamic. We could have happily breakfasted here for several days! This was our first visit to Kincraig Castle Hotel but certainly not our last. The team who have taken over in 2023 are doing an outstanding job and long may they succeed.

The hotel is very nice—both our room and the common areas downstairs truly made us feel like we were in a castle. We also enjoyed some good vegan food in their restaurant. There was only one person working in the whole place, but they were very friendly and helpful.
