The hotel itself is spacious and well kept, and the rooms were great and very clean. The breakfast was a real highlight! We didn’t have dinner in the restaurant, but wished we had - it looked great. The owners were extremely polite and helpful.

This is a great place to stay - will be back! read less

The hosts were so welcoming and the meal in the restaurant was equisitite. The master bedroom was truly luxurious and I particularly enjoyed relaxing in the corner bath. Our stay at Cluny Bank Hotel was perfect in every way, and we will have very fond memories of celebrating our Silver Wedding with you. Thank you Jules and Lloyd. If we were closer we'd come every year! read less

The rooms are comfortable, immaculate and well maintained. I booked a meal on my first and last night in their small restaurant and have to say both meals were delicious. The breakfasts were of high quality with a wide range of hot and cold items to choose from. A great base to explore this area of Scotland from with plenty of castles, lochs, beaches and countryside on your doorstep and only a short ride from the Cairngorms National Park. read less

The Cluny Bank Hotel is a gem. The Hotel is small and inviting and the hosts add to what makes this place special. If you want a personal touch Julia and Lloyd hit the mark. I am in the food business and Lloyd will impress any Foodie with his dishes and discussions. I came here for work and felt like I was on holiday... Thank You. read less

Sehr schön und exzellentes Essen Top Ausstattung!

Wow. Lobster to start was delicious. Venison perfectly cooked and well presented, was so tasty. Dessert was just delightful, chocolate mousse and honeycomb with ice cream. What a fantastic taste experience and brilliant service.

Bedroom large and comfortable, bathroom has bath and shower. As the ultimate extra a restaurant fully deserving of its AA rosette, locally sourced food cooked by the chef patron who talks you through his dessert menu personally - you’ll want everyone 😁 Nothing read less

The hotel is set in its own grounds so you are surrounded by nature. I was warmly welcomed when I arrived which was really nice.
I didn't have an evening meal but breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and freshly made. Definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area.
There is a steep climb from the car park to the hotel but if you have lots of luggage or have problems walking you can drive your car to the door. read less

Small restaurant with superb food Lloyd is really passionate about food, no wonder he reached so many awards. Don‘t miss his special deserts! All food is absolutely superb and staff is highly professional and friendly. Loved this place during vacation.

Exceptional My evening meal was truly amazing, hats off to Lloyd and Jules for a great experience!!

Excellent room, lovely people, excellent food! Can't recommend highly enough.

An intimate bar area with only a few seats and a warming fire. We were afforded some olives, chutney and crisp breads whilst we perused the menu.
There was a good selection of starters and mains, we are not great dessert people but this was definitely a major miss for us as the neighbouring table were spoiled for choice, which was described to them by the chef coming to their table......hat said we really did enjoy our cheese selection!
An amuse bouche of halumi fritter was very nice. We had the lobster with wasabi gazpacho and duck terrine as starters and both were very flavourful. The loin of lamb and cod likewise and cooked perfectly. The cheese selection was a little restricted but more than adequate and the wine list was extensive and well described. A very nice, relaxing and well timed evening. No rush read less

Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und die Betten sehr bequem. Wir buchten es mit einem Abendessen! Absolut zum empfehlen. Der Küchenchef ist nicht nur ein sehr guter Koch, nein. Er ist auch ein quirliger Entertainer, der das Dessert auf eine eigene Art präsentiert! Schauen Sie doch vorbei. read less
