As part of a summer touring holiday, we travelled to Cairngorm. Columba House is conveniently placed but not amidst the hubbub of the Aviemore resort. We had a lovely four poster room with a garden and mountain view. The room was peaceful and spacious. It even came equipped with a "security teddy bear" who looked after it when we were not there. Breakfast was substantial and tasty, served in the garden restaurant where we watched squirrels and birds feeding, through the window. Myra was welcoming and very effective. We would recommend Columba House thoroughly and without reservation.

Beautiful house. Clean large room. Dining room overlooking well kept gardens. (No ducks!) Not really a hotel but more of a b&B. Menu vastly overpriced for quality of food. Felt a little uncomfortable in the dining room E.G. note at top of menu saying "No mobile phones whilst dining". I understand why but just felt like being in school. Didn't like the fact that the owner debited my card prior to checking out and without me being present. Although everything was correct this was unusual.

The garden was pleasant. I thought it was overpriced. My room was tiny (about 18inches surrounded the double bed), no wardrobe (just a rail improvised above the table in an alcove) and no space to put my suitcase). The 'en suite' was outside the bedroom so I had to be robed and ensure I didn't lock myself out each time I went to it. £7 for a packed lunch consisting of a sandwich and some strawberries; it was fine but too expensive.

A wonderful stay, aided to a very large part by the hospitality and attention to detail shown by the hoteliers, we simply cannot fault anything! The room was beyond our expectation, and maintained to an exceptional standard and the food was as good as any gourmet restaurant we have visited. A gem hidden in the highlands, will definitely be visiting again!

Relaxing and beautiful location. We asked to change our room to one that had its own front door - this was not a problem. Limited menu for dinner and quite expensive for what we got. Nothing startling, unfortunately! Although our room was nice, I felt it was expensive for a weekend break. Breakfast was ok - although young waitress seemed to only be able to pour half cups of coffee and wanted to clear plates before we had actually finished eating!! Fresh fruit was limited unless you arrived at the start of breakfast serving.

We enjoyed our stay & found the staff extremely helpful, food excellent and the room very comfortable Found the lounge area rather quiet. Tv or background music would have helped.

I thought that Myra was the most helpful and nicest person. She did not for one minute asked us why we were in Kingussie, or what we were doing there. She did however entertain us with feeding the ducks, making jokes about there being no carbohydrates in Scotland etc. When I asked her for brown toast, she said that "Bill" her husband had only made white bread! It was delicious. The next morning Bill had made brown bread, which Myra gave us. I will certainly stay in this hotel again, I just hope that Myra has a room for us when I next go to Scotland!

Location; within 5mins drive from main north/south road, beautiful scenery, close to numerous outdoor activities. Pristine bathroom. Well cooked food. Private road to hotel rather difficult to negotiate with a low slung car! Last 50yds. Became a mud track after heavy rain. Bathroom would benefit from a more powerful shower.

It was quiet,but,it more like a b&b than a hotel.The room was cold and we had to ask for heating to be put on.Food potions small and rather pricey.Would think twice about staying there again.

The location of the Hotel is excellent , just situated off the main road and in a beautiful quiet leafy location. The hotel itself is small, very well maintained and very inviting. Our room was upstairs, very nice and fresh and had everything that we needed. The dining experience in the hotel on our visit was excellent and our evening meal was very well presented and absolutely delicious. Breakfast was also of a very high standard. Myra the owner of the hotel was there whenever we needed anything and nothing was ever too much bother. Loved watching the ducks and rabbits in the garden whilst having our dinner/breakfast. Overall a very relaxing, enjoyable stay thanks to Myra and her husband who obviously work very hard at it all day and all evening to keep everything just as it should be. Perfect for their appreciative guests. Loved this hotel and would definitely recommend it to friends.
