Wish I had more to say about our stay
Pros:

We didn’t end up staying here so this review is really just representative of our initial impressions. The property looked a little run down and not well maintained, the outdoor area in the courtyard was very cobwebby, for example, and when we keyed into our room it had flooded so we immediately told the manager and they sprang into action to address. It seemed that a pipe had burst, so the entire unit was affected. They offered us another room that would fit our group but it didn’t have a private bath so we found another place to stay for the night and was able to get a partial refund, so they did try their best to provide a solution. We felt really bad that they had that issue, the manager looked like she was about to cry. I can’t speak to the other features and amenities of the property.

Good stay but wouldn't come back
Pros:

The hotel had on street parking no private car parking available, the room was twin ordered a double deluxe which was changed at property no problems, staff very helpful very friendly short staffed but hotel operated as normal with breakfast which was small but mighty, sets you up for the day ahead

Hotel does evening meals but due to staffing levels they couldn't provide this service.

Roon was bright very warm without heaters on and very spacious

Cons:

The area surrounding hotel was not scenic views, we had to drive 8 miles to get something to eat as the nearby restaurants close Monday and Tuesdays which wasn't great no mention of this when booking

There was another hotel nearby but we were not paying £15 for a burger per person if you're visiting be prepared to eat out of town at the start of the week

You get what you pay for!
Pros:

Spacious, clean, not overly expensive for area, and in a lovely village

Cons:

Bar and restaurant closed and no on site parking as advertised.
Room right next to crossroads / traffic lights - very noisy with cars and lorries driving past throughout the night.
Curtains paper thin and blinds missing - light started shining into room at 4.30am today.
Bed not comfortable - 2 single beds pushed together connected with only a sheet so hard ridge in the middle.
Room very dated and needs redecorated - carpets loose, plaster falling off wall in toilet, bedside lights not working.

ok for an overnight stay
Pros:

breakfast was good, staff were great, and the rooms were clean

Cons:

were not told beforehand that the restaurant and bar would be shut, despite the hotel knowing that before we arrived. Rooms are noisy due to the road. Mattresses have seen better days.

Not a good experience at all
Pros:

Not a god experience.

Cons:

Starting by the fact that they didn’t have the main services as a shower, internet connection, or even electric power on the first night, the second one they made some changes but we didn’t have WiFi connection and the installations were really poor.

Pros:

Wasn't sure what to expect. I came for the Spirit of Speyside whisky festival as a late booking. Straight from checking in, Rob let me in early and made my stay comfortable and hassle free. He took y vegeteruan options in consideration in preparing breakfast. The bus stop is literally across the street. I would definitely stay here again

Pros:

Property was off main street and lots of big trucks passing by all the time. My room was not facing the street so it was just rumbles. Property hosts were very friendly but room condition was not the best. Missing toilet paper roll holder. Shower is small and has dirty grout. Restaurant downstairs not open.
