What a great stay! The fact that pizza’s were prepared especially for us was very kind. We were picked up and dropped off the next day by Stevie. His tips were excellent. It saved us from hiking a very wet trail.

Newtonmore is a small village with little to offer in the way of shops, etc. The speed limit in towne center is much too fast to afford safe pedestrian crossing of Main Street and the thru traffic is heavy for such a small town.The crown jewel of Newtonmore by far is the Balavil Hotel; the accommodations are warm and comfortable, the staff is top notch and the food is superb.

Well appointed hotel complex.
Well appointed hotel complex. Our room was in the Annexe and very well furnished for short stay visitors. Very clean and fresh. Garden and surrounding areas well maintained and seating areas provided should the weather be favourable.
We opted to eat in the hotel for Dinner and were not disappointed. Service was first class and food standards were excellent.
Areas arund Newtonmore very accessible from the A9 and east through Kincraig to Aviemore was pictuesque. Lots to see and do, very vibrant area within 15 mile radius.
Avoid coming through Perth as road Duelling on A9 is causing significant delays. approach from the south easier through Crieff and join A9 at Dunkeld- free run from there.

Newtonmore is an excellent base for a stay in the highlands.
Newtonmore is an excellent base for a stay in the highlands. Without the business of Aviemore easy access to the Highland Wildlife Park and Highland Folk Museum and if you feel the need for something to do that all ages can take part in there's the Wildcat Walking Tour. A selection of eating places but if fast food is your thing maybe not for you.

Lovely village to stay in for touring this area of Scotland.
Lovely village to stay in for touring this area of Scotland. Golf course and beautiful river side walks. Easy access to A9 for travelling further afield. The Glen Pub at the edge of the village is a must - very friendly welcome and service and stunning food. Co-op in the village for those needing groceries etc. on a self-catering holiday. If you stay in this area I recommend a visit to a fantastic coffee shop in Kincraig called The Post Office Cafe Gallery.

Village is very central and gives easy access to Cairngorms without the busy feel of Aviemore. Easy to reach Fort William and access the west coast and also to reach Inverness and further north beyond. Wonderful walking locally in Glen Banchor and along the river Spey, Glen Feshie and Loch Insh. Golf at Newtonmore and three miles away at Kingussie. Very interesting Highland Folklore museum which deserves a whole day and is great for children. More amenities in Aviemore but worth staying in Newtonmore for the peace and quiet.
Would recommend the Glen Hotel for dinner and Antlers cafe for snacks.
We felt very comfortable. The cottage was very lovingly furnished, our dog was allowed to come along. The property has a fence, so our dog could run around the house freely. Rod and Dianne were always available for us, we contacted them when we had questions about the area, excursions or sights. We got great tips for trips. Newtonmore is centrally located. Excursions are easily possible from there. If we go to Scotland again we would rent a cottage from Rod and Dianne again.
We have stayed at many B&Bs and we both agreed that the Clune house was the most impressive. The owners are lovely and have put an amazing amount of thought into their B&B. The room was very comfortable and had everything we could have ever asked for. The attention to detail is second to none. Fresh milk for your coffee, water, and drinks in the refrigerator. The food was excellent. We will definitely stay at the Clune House again if we are ever back in Newtonmore.
John and Irene are wonderful, friendly hosts. I was walking across Scotland on the TGO Challenge and they looked after me wonderfully. I am very grateful and would recommend them to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area. The hotel is quiet, well kept and well appointed. Their attention to detail is second to none. Thank you very much indeed and I hope to visit again in the future.
Booked one night at the Balavil as accommodation for hill walking the next day. The staff were so friendly and went the extra mile - they even offered to have breakfast available for me before the official start due to my timings. The room was clean, comfortable and gigantic. The hotel accommodation was befitting a traditional highland hotel and the location is so convenient.
Fantastic location....beautiful area with lots of walks, hills, beaches, waterfalls, and outdoor activities nearby. 10 minutes to Newtonmore, 25 to Aviemore for easy access to shops, pubs, restaurants etc. Lovely cottage, has everything you need - 2 minutes from the A9 but very quiet with a fenced rear patio looking out onto a grass area and pond. Very dog friendly.
Easy to find, beautifully furnished and decorated, with fittings of a high standard. Excellent shower and wi-fi. The hosts go to a great deal of trouble to give the guests a special experience, especially with breakfast and the complimentary tea & cake. Newtonmore is a pleasant village with a convenient Co-op store and good pub (the Glen Hotel).
The hotel was located right in the city with reachability to main points, cafes, restaurants. It is located in the Cairngorns National park which means you're close to a lot of attractions. It is clean and tidy while being also small and cozy. We loved our beds and we had a very good nice sleep.
Self catering, adequate accommodation for our family. Dougie was very helpful with all our needs and nothing was a problem to him. Great location for all activities nearby and surrounding areas within an hour's travel.
Very very cheap accommodation on New Year's Eve. The bathroom is a small walk away. There was a kettle and a microwave, and some cutlery. Stunning views in the morning of the surrounding mountains.
The location is very good to walk into Newtonmore. The whole property was spotless. The staff were very friendly & the breakfast was superb. We have recommended this property to friends & family.
Moira was the most amazing host. Breakfast was superb and best coffee so far in Scotland. The bath was the best for soaking after a long hike up Ben MacDui.
