Over night stay

Second stay at The Bay Horse Inn.
Room was comfortable but warm.
Breakfast was good served by very friendly staff.
Only grumble would be that they started to clean the room before we'd left which made us feel a little unwelcome.
Apart from that our stay was comfortable and exactly what we needed for an overnight befor heading on holiday

Got fined for parking

I was fined for parking at the hotel. It said free parking on Hotels.com. I wasn’t asked for my registration when I checked in. I complained to the owner who said he would get it sorted. I sent him the fine which he asked me to do and he then said that’s the best you’re going to get. What a joke.

Excellent stay. I have been to many places and stayed in many hotels but this hotel has perhaps the best bed! Super clean rooms. The only reason I didnt give five stars for facilities is that they do not have a hair dryer and the water pressure of the shower wasn't great. The staff did look into it and I didnt expect it to be an immediate fix so in the bigger picture, that was a trivial problem; it doesn't take away from how brilliant the establishment is.

The place was nice and quiet, staff were lovely, breakfast was very good, bed was really comfortable, fan in the room was nice. Only a couple of slight negatives. The room was a little dusty on some of the surfaces and a couple of the walls could do with dusting too. Also there looks to be a coffee stain on the wall, and also the shower flow was weak. These things didn't take away from the enjoyment of my stay however. I had a lovely stay and i would stay here again.

Great place to stay

We stayed here on our way up to Aviemore to break the journey. On our return we stayed here again. We knew what to expect and again we were not disappointed. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to order a late evening meal.
The Bayhorse Inn is dog friendly which was important to us and our furry friends were made to feel welcome.
The cooked breakfast on the Sunday morning was lovely and the lady serving us even remembered us from the previous weekend and asked how our holiday was.
Weve already booked again for next year

Lovely little place

We booked The Bay Horse the night before we stayed as a spontaneous family get away. On arrival we were greeted by the lovely land lady who showed us to our beautiful family room.

The room was spacious, modern, clean and fresh! We had a very comfortable nights sleep.

The pub meals were home cooked and absolutely delicious. Breakfast in the morning was cooked to order and too was absolutely delicious.

The staff here are very helpful and very friendly! Nothing was too much trouble. They lady serving breakfast on Sunday morning even entertained our 3 year old and let him help hoover round the pub.

We were absolutely delighted with our stay and will most definitely stay again. Thank you very much to you all.
