Restaurant and rooms available.

The Cairn Hotel is a traditional Highland inn with fourteen rooms and is popular with locals and visitors alike.

The three hand pumps normally offer a beer from the local Cairngorm brewery, a second from Orkney or Cromarty and the third pump features a different Scottish guest ale with every cask.

Freshly cooked, seasonal bar meals are available every day in the busy pub.

Carrbridge lies towards the Northern end of the Cairngorm National Park, with all its attractions. Locally, there is the 1717 packhorse bridge (which is still standing, but off limits - just in case) over the River Dulnain and the Landmark Adventure Park just down the road which is very popular with families.

Information for this venue is provided by the Highlands & Western Isles Branch of CAMRA
