Bedroom well stocked, clean and comfortable with nice quirky character. Slept very well.

Very comfortable stay, good generous portions along with amazing selection of whisky on offer.
Pros:

Perfect spot to enjoy the distilleries in the area. Location overlooks the river and bonus points for the electric charging points in the car park. Lovely seating area in the bedroom and really comfortable nights sleep.

Cons:

Slightly expensive but that’s nit picking. Water pressure wasn’t great for the shower.

Beautiful place to stay
Pros:

Our room was lovely - beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable. The bedding was very nice and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was massive and very clean with nice towels. We stayed in Glenlivet room with a river view.

Cons:

We booked a room with breakfast for over £200 per night. It was very disappointing to find out that we only had the basic breakfast included and we had to pay additional £7 to get proper coffees from the machine rather than filtered. There were two menus on the table - one for guests staying in and one for walk-ins which was much nicer. That takes a point off my 10 points score.
