Hotel & Restaurant *** Highlands & Western Isles pub opening and food service times currently vary nearly on a day-to-day basis, mostly dependent on establishments' access to bar and waiting staff. Hence you will almost certainly see different times than those published here. Please DO NOT send updates to either opening or food service times, as trying to hit a moving target is a waste of our very limited resources. Instead, overall opening and restaurant times will be updated at the next full survey. Your understanding is appreciated. We welcome notifications of 'dog friendliness' however four legs good, two legs better. As you might imagine for a website called WhatPub, the main aim is to highlight the quality of ales. Thus, please include an assessment of a pub's beer(s) when you notify us of its cynophile status! ***.

The main hotel was built in 1803 and has been in the proud ownership of the Watt family for the past thirty years or so.

The branch was notified of a pair of hand pumps on the bar during the Summer of 2018 offering Trade Winds from Cairngorm, and an alternating beer from Two Thirsty Men on the second, so both very "LocAle" travelling from Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey respectively.

At the weekends there are promotions on food (Fajita Friday, Steak Saturday and Sunday carvery / roast) and also entertainment.

Located towards the Northern boundary of the Cairngorm National Park, there is a wealth of activiites available within a short distance, including Landmark Forest Adventure Park, Spey Valley Steam Railway, and many other attractions around Aviemore.

Please note that the hotel closes during the winter months.
