Negative Reviews
negative:
Hotel is a bit off the road.
Given its out of the way location in Cairngorm National Park, Muckrach Country House can be hard to find. It is also quite a ways off the road, creating challenges for people who want to walk to nearby attractions.
negative:
Staff seem a little untrained.
The staff members found throughout the hotel are pleasant, but feel like they are missing some basic hospitality skills. Despite doing an adequate job, the level of service many guests receive doesn't quite live up to the rest of their experience at this hotel.
negative:
Wider menu would be appreciated.
While guests enjoy the food they have at Muckrach Country House, the menu itself could use some improvement. There's not much as far as a selection goes, especially on weekends and when events are being hosted on the property.
