My only issue was the Wifi. Besides that is a very nice place. The staff I dealt with Jane, Oscar, Alfie, Jamie and Carol were all helpful and great to talk to. The whisky bar is the best I've ever seen.

Been at the venue before several times but only for food. Ribeye steak i had was nice but for £38 you would expect more than 1/2 a grilled tomato and 1/4 grilled shallot as trimmings. Breakfast nice with real fresh orange juice. Let down by the female server who spent most of the time on her phone and at times with her back to the guests bent over the counter typing on her phone, she was very polite though. i would think such a nice establishment would have a ban on servers using phones while on duty. Room nice and comfy as described. My partner really liked the whisky hand cream and wanted to buy a couple of bottles, as advertised in the rooms. Unfortunately they had none for sale, you would expect if its advertised for sale they would ensure have enough stock. Receptionist very friendly and helpful, first class service. Bar staff also very friendly.

The hotel is lovely, however there are many things lacking. Service at the dining room was very bad. The breakfast orders took over 45 minutes to arrive. The attitude of the staff was insulting. There is no elevator.

In the heart of Speyside and a short drive from multiple renowned distilleries, there is no better place to stay if you are on a whiskey tour with friends. Everything from the whiskey bar to the breakfast were excellent and we would definitely visit againz

This is an older property. If you have a lot of luggage this is certainly not the easiest for you. There was no porter on duty and getting your luggage in and out of the property was difficult and plenty of stairs to climb.
