Lovely meal, great service
Pros:

Had a lovely meal in the restaurant in the Altens hotel.
A fab menu with loads of choices & great service from our waitress 'Misha'
Only downfall was we couldn't put a tip on the bill when paying by card & didn't have as much cash as we would have liked to give as a tip.

Très bonne halte pour les visites de distilleries de whisky.
Pros:

Hôtel confortable, restaurant et petit déjeuner sont très bien. Le parking est relativement peu coûteux. Hôtel de bin standing avec une belle salle de sport et une piscine.

Cons:

En arrivant, le bâtiment est austère comme la ville qui ne vaut pas la peine d’être visitée. Très bien située depuis le château de Dunnottar pour aller visiter le Speyside.
