Our family of Australians - inexperienced in the snow - had a dreadful start to our day back in December: stuck in the snow in blizzard conditions near the Lecht Ski Centre. When we freed the car we found we had a flat tyre, and no spare in the rental car! So we limped into the nearest town - Tomintoul... More

It was a winter lunchtime, driving back from Aberdeen to Inverness over the Grampians, I thought I'd stop for lunch somewhere. I drove through one village - hotel closed. In the next village the hotel was "open", ie unlocked, an attractive building on a hill, but no-one around; another car pulled up and we had a chat whilst looking for... More

Straightforward 'Pub grub' is served here - no frills and good prices. I have eaten here over several years when staying in the area and always enjoyed a good meal on the sofa's by the fire. Have never stayed in the hotel, so can't say what that is like.

I had stayed before and went back recently. I only hope they get the lovely barmaid with the long hair back who has recently had a baby as since she has left, I'm afraid to say that the service, hospitality and friendliness has plummeted. I did notice a hike in food prices but a drop in quality and value for... More

There was a lovely open fire in the pub which was warm and welcoming on a cold November day. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pub food was OK. The bedroom was a little tired and dated but acceptable. Breakfast was very good. Choice of cereals and a full cooked breakfast. It was value for money.

We liked the pub here, it's friendly and we had a nice dinner then played pool afterwards. But we wish we'd booked to stay somewhere else! The level of cleanliness wasn't high but it was passable. The room was quiet, warm and spacious, but that's all we can say for it. The beds are old and saggy and they have... More

When I say "what you see is what you get" it's intended as a huge compliment. My family and I stayed at the Glen Avon at New Year and were bowled over by how friendly and helpful the owner and staff were, the quality of the food and the ambience of the bar - a blend of dining area come... More
