We have just stayed at the Fairwinds Hotel for 2 nights on our tour of Scotland and really enjoyed it. We had a very spacious, comfortable room and the location of the hotel is perfect. The owners, Alison and Lindsay, made us feel very welcome and gave us lots of useful information on the area. We enjoyed sitting outside by... more

Initially we were surprised as it was tucked away from the main road and did not have any views to speak of. The service was brilliant, they went out of their way to cater for our unusual dietery demands. The room was huge and had cooking facilities. The lovely conservatory overlooking the garden had a selection of music, games and... more

I read the great reviews for this hotel but was still unsure how we would enjoy a small, quiet hotel, we usually stay in big chain hotels!!

Can honestly the say the reviews are bang on - the place is great, and as with most small hotels which get great reviews you know why - the owners - they are fantastic. The accomodation... more

My husband & I have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Scotland which commenced with a 3 night stay at Fairwinds. Used to staying at larger 4 star 'chain' hotels, choosing a smaller hotel like Fairwinds was a significant change for us. We'd made the decision to stay here having read previous reviews on trip advisor & we were... more

We're just back from the Chainsaw Carving Championships at Carrbridge and stayed at the Fairwinds Hotel. Very peaceful, clean and comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent. No complaints. more
