Lovely staff. VERY welcoming and friendly. Helpful with lots of good advice. Wonderful location. Close to shops and dining options. Did not eat at the hotel as we had been referred to a "locals" restaurant. To be honest, the "cozy" double room was a bit small. Felt a bit claustrophobic. But it was a nice space. Bed was relatively comfortable. Parking was on the street and not too far from the hotel. You had to look for it. We found a spot about 25 yards down the road. There is also parking available in a car park nearby. Streets were quiet and safe. No worries there. For a one night stay allowing us to take a more leisurely drive over two days through the Cairngorms National Park, this was a great place to be.

Nice location, friendly staff but the hot water did not get to our bathroom so we could not take a shower. We were told afterwards that there is a trick and that one should run faucet and shower hot faucet at the same time for 5 minutes to get the hot water going… The staff was really nice we changed room for personal reasons and they were quite accommodating and the breakfast was great.

Did not meet expectations The hotel did not have a lift or a car park. The check in was painful. The lady behind the desk was very slow and unhelpful. We tried to book breakfast and she said earliest available was 8.15 am. On morning went down at 8 am dining room very quiet so went in. Why not let us book earlier. The hairdryer did not work. She told us there were no others available. Asked to speak to a senior member of staff. He subsequently gave us a replacement hair dryer. Made to feel a nuisance by receptionist. The teapot was full of water from someone else. I asked for some extra milk and it was like getting blood from a stone. Same receptionist. Breakfast - when went in the fruit platter was decimated. The server admitted they had had a large group in but said there was another platter prepared in the kitchen. I waited and waited and had to ask again for them to put out more fruit which they did reluctantly.

We had an unusual interaction with the reception staff when checking out, in that a member in our party was berated repeatedly for not advising the hotel about food allergies/sensitivities ahead of our stay. In fact the food allergies were communicated but apparently not passed along to the kitchen. Ao We think what happened is the chef reamed out the reception staff for not having advance warning, and then the reception staff in turn repeatedly berated us. The funny thing is that the chef came to our table for both meals and was quite lovely and accommodating, and the food was fine. It was just very odd.

We had a lovely two night stay at the Balmoral Arms. Fiona in particular was a standout—warm and welcoming, and extremely helpful in assisting with dining reservations We hope to be back some day!
