Pros:

Das Haus ist sehr stilvoll, es gibt ein tolles Restaurant (unbedingt vorreservieren!!!), das Zimmer war sehr hübsch, das Personal gut geschult und sehr aufmerksam.
Hinter dem Haus gibt es Parkplätze für Hotelgäste, unsere Motorräder standen dort gut geschützt (Unterlegplättchen sind von Vorteil, der Kies ist etwas lose)
Ein paar Meter vom Haus befindet sich der Fluß, schön zum Spazieren und sitzen.
Im Ort ist ein ATM, kleine Geschäfte und die Aberlour-Destille kann man zu Fuß ebenfalls erreichen.
Das Frühstück (a la carde) war super lecker und vielfältig.
Bitte denkt an Adapter!!! 😉

Pros:

Good comfy room, enjoyed dinner as well.
Just a bit disappointed that the bar staff wasn’t knowledgable about the whisky’s they are serving, was hoping for more of a tasting experience.
