Just what we needed - a great short break.

Pros: Great situation, historic building, warm and comfy, lovely staff.

Alison 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

A really lovely stay with great ambience and service. Would come back.

Pros: The staff were amazing and the food was excellent. Hotel had a nice feel and our dog friendly room was ideal with french doors giving access outside.

Cons: Lost hot water on one day so had to use another room to have a shower. That said - the staff dealt with it brilliantly! found it slightly strange that although we could bring our dog in to the bar for our evening meal and the lounge (which was great) - we had to eat on our own in a different room for breakfast because of the dog(different location for breakfast but the tables were really spread out more so than at dinner?). Appreciate there was food laid out in buffet style but she just sits under the table so couldn't quite understand this?

Sally 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Gorgeous place in quaint little village. Plenty of parking and well stocked bar. Comfortable rooms with all we needed. Lovely selection for breakfast too

Cons: That he didn't know how close it was to the little station used in traitors as we would have loved to book a train ride but we got there too late and no trains running the next day. Worth looking into

Speyside distillery tours ideal hotel

Pros: Nice food and location for speyside whisky distillery tours.

Cons: A broken glass window in our room and they do a service charge on food. But we were able to get that removed.

Andy 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Could not have loved it more!

Pros: It’s a classic Scottish Inn. Panelled Walls, Tartan, Fires, great food. It’s exactly what we were looking for on our overnight winter stay, travelling north. It’s brilliant, ever so slightly tired around the edges, and the food was exceptional.

Cons: Water pressure in shower wasn’t great (not complaining but needed to put something).

Fiona 10/10

We’ll Definitely Be Back!

Pros: We and our dog were made to feel very welcome. We’d booked a Garden Room and that was perfect.

Cons: Nothing.

Anish 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Excellent staff and service. Good rooms. Would stay again.

Pros: Great staff and service. Really large penthouse rooms were nice and would have been great to relax for a few days with views of the mountains, we were unfortunately tired and just in a nights pitstop. Good breakfast and very nice staff for service as well.

Cons: No lifts, stairs all the way. It’s a little far from any shops or town centres, which isn’t fair to complain about but make sure you have everything you need before you get there.
