Stronavaich Cairngorm Guest House

Carrbridge

Pernotto and breakfast in a mountain cottage in a wonderful park. Outside the traditional circuits and reachable by walking a wonderful road between hills and marshes. Fully integrated into the surrounding environment, spacious and clean rooms, even the toilets. Our Guest Jeff is very available, responds to all the emails I have requested for information beyond those related to overnight stays. Breakfast varies and abundant.

Cottage in a park

Nestled in midst of Cairngorms National Park , Tomintul our stay at Stronaivaich was very relaxing and pleasant. 

We had the whole cottage for our group of 4 adults and it was self catering. 

The village square of Tomintul is a 7 mins drive and has a few pubs and restaurants. 

The bedrooms are very spacious and beautiful with ensuite bathrooms in 3 bedrooms 

The cottage is overlooking the woods . 

The property had a sauna .. we also enjoyed a relaxing sauna too. 

Our Host Jeff was very helpful . I highly recommend this accommodation if you want to experience Cairngorms National Park

Excellent Accommodation in Tomintul, Cairngorms National Park

Four nights away here was not long enough. We felt welcome, safe, looked after and private. Lovely cooked breakfast with the best fresh free range eggs, loads of information on the local area and Jeff was a very friendly and extremely helpful host. The perfect place to stay surrounded by beautiful places to visit.

Would highly recommend

Stronavaich - I found it easily as owner had sent directions via email. There’s also a sign post outside. There was no formal check in, just a request to choose breakfast options for the following morning. I got a quick tour of my room which was very spacious with a large bath/ sauna area and a separate shower and toilet area. Shower was great! Plenty of towels were easily accessible but no hand wash at the sink. The bed was very big and extremely soft and comfortable. Pillows were hard. Tea/coffee facilities.
Unfortunately, the room wasn’t as clean as it ought to be. Many items/ ledges had gathered dust and the radiator had a stain spilled down which hadn’t been cleaned. I can’t fault the bedding though.
Breakfast was delicious with fruit, yoghurt, cereals & toast on offer before the Scottish breakfast (no beans :-0)
Jeff, the host, was great. Very welcoming and friendly.

Revommended

Beautiful location and facilities, very comfortable and well thought out. Rooms sparkling with great en suite, and an excellent breakfast. Just perfect, hope to be able to return. 

Would recommend that you stay longer than one night if you’re after walks and historical touring. 
Tomintoul has some gift shops worth visiting, no tat. 
And the folder of local attractions in the hotel is fab - one could easily spend a week in the area just exploring Jeff’s recommendations. 



What a gem!

Loved this place. Comfortable, quiet, warm and homely. The owner was very helpful, the breakfast was more than sufficient (I had the Cairngorm!) plus there was more choice. Im a big chap and it filled me up so don’t understand some of the other reviews. I will be back with my better half to look round the area instead of having to work. 

Great Find

Jeff was a great inn keeper, very responsive.  Had great Scottish breakfast. Room is large with private sauna. Location is remote in the countryside and need a car to get to.  Location is 50 min from braemar and is a great option if going to the braemar Highland games.

Stay during braemar games

My husband and I had a lovely stay at this property very near Tomintoul. Our room was spacious and we had a huge King size bed. Our host, Jeff, was very helpful and knows the area very well. He was able to give us good advise on places to visit. We felt like we got an insiders perspective. It was also quite nice to be greeted with a “dram” of whiskey. We stayed for 4 nights and it was the perfect location to go from castle to distillery to hiking (not necessarily in that order). 

Friendly host, lovely property

In the beautiful National Park we found this accommodation. We were kindly welcomed and everything was shown in the house. Kitchen, living room and room. Everything looked great. Everything worked great. Even whiskey tasted for itself. The bed was huge and slept well. Aaber... with the cleanliness was not the best. Everywhere in the corners and ceilings were spider webs including residents. The bathroom was probably huge but only superficially blown. Rust, water stains and dust everywhere. The morning was rather sparse and was cleared as soon as we had served ourselves. No 2 rounds. In conclusion: it fulfilled its purpose but not for the price of 2 nights.

First hurry up, then hurry up!

The place is peaceful and the house is spacious. The room is bright and very well equipped, the bed is large and comfortable. The breakfast is pleasant and our host knows how to be available while being discreet.
