My partner and I have just come back from an absolutely wonderful weekend at the Muckrach Hotel. It was to celebrate my partner's 60th birthday, and what a fabulous time we had. The hotel is up there with one of the best. There's such a relaxing, peaceful ambience about the place, everything is of the highest quality and standard. Our room was totally spotless, comfortable, warm and luxurious, couldn't have asked for more. We had an early start on the Saturday, trip up the Cairngorms, the hotel were so accommodating, they set up and early breakfast for us. After a superb day out, how lovely it was to come back to our fabulously warm room to relax before heading out again for the evening. Another thing I would like to mention, arrangements had been made on the Friday night, for Spud the Piper to play for my partner, who was totally chuffed to bits, albeit a little bit embarrassed (he's not one to want to be the centre of attention). The food was so scrummy, choice of drinks, fantastic, I could go on forever. The staff so helpful and friendly. We will most definitely be back. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to everyone at the Muckrach for making our stay a most memorable one. Bernie

Everything you imagine when thinking of a high-quality lodge in the Scottish Cairngorms. Staff were welcoming, helpful and attentive. The rooms were kept immaculately clean and were spacious and comfortable. The food was excellent and varied. The location is perfectly situated for short local walks or with easy access to larger munroes and close to a number of distilleries along the Spey River. I’d love to see them add a spa to the site as you’d have no reason to ever leave! I loved my stay here and will look forward to the next time!

Excellent hotel in a beautiful area
Well first and foremost the hotel is beautiful. I was there in winter and it really is spectacular amongst the snow. The rooms were also lovely and had excellent bathrooms. The restaurant was good but not great - the food needs a bit more finesse. That said, the restaurant is almost certainly the best in the area and the wines were delicious. Overall though, it’s

Beautiful hotel in picturesque surroundings. Staff is very helpful and courteous. Beautiful bar to have a cocktail or two. Nice cafe for dining. This hotel feels more like a home than a hotel. It is very charming and beautifully decorated. Living room type spaces for relaxing, reading a book or just having a quiet time enjoying the postcard perfect scenery outside. Room is well appointed with thoughtful amenities to make one’s stay worry free. High end toiletries in the bathroom. We enjoyed our stay here. Parking spaces are plenty too

This is our third stay at the fantastic Muckrach Hotel. The building has great character and has been restored to a very high standard. The rooms are very comfortable, the service is great and the food is excellent. Book ahead if you can - it's a small and very popular hotel.

Lovely time!
We very much enjoyed our experience at the Muckrach Hotel. The managers, Mark and Sally, were very friendly and helpful. The staff in the dining room were very attentive and on-the-ball, and the food was delicious. A beautiful location, and we enjoyed many walks around the hotel. We met the highland cattle Dougal and Hamish, and new addition Harry, a yellow lab. Our room was clean and quiet. We would definitely return in the future! Be advised that if you use GPS to find the hotel, there is a farm just up the road to which it will want to lead you. Once you get close, look for the signs that say "Muckrach Country Hotel." They will lead you right there!

This hotel is a gem. Both the common areas and bedrooms are beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. It’s a great place to stay near the malt whiskey trail and fly fishing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting this beautiful region of Scotland.
