Pros:

It's a super comfy location, the rooms are small but comfortable. I slept really well on the bed. It was a tad bit bit chilly in the room at night but that only helped me sleep better 😴.

Cons:

Showers didn't have a lot of pressure but I can't really complain. We had hot water the entire time in both the sink and shower.

Great location, delicious breakfast, and an excellent whisky selection in the heart of Dufftown!
Pros:

Check-in was smooth, and I was even able to check in a little early since my room was ready. The location is excellent, just a 2-minute walk from Dufftown bus station and close to several dining options. The Whisky Capital restaurant itself had great food and an amazing whisky collection. I especially loved that they offered a full vegetarian Scottish breakfast, which was delicious!

Cons:

The room was a little on the smaller side, but it worked out fine for me since I was traveling solo.

Clean, comfortable, friendly and a great breakfast
Pros:

A basic clean and comfortable accomodation with sure ally friendly staff. Restaurant meals were very good and the included breakfast outstanding.

Cons:

As is clear this is accomodation in a pub. There’s going to be noise but there are earplugs provided.

Great accommodation with a warm welcome pub below. great place, I'd stay again.
Pros:

This was a great place, friendly staff, good parking, nice wee pool room, a good pub downstairs and central to the town. We loved it and had a fantastic breakfast. Good price for an overnight stay.

Cons:

We couldn't get the TV to work and thought the batteries to the control were weak. The batteries were changed, but no joy with starting the TV. On further investigation, someone had pulled the socket out at the back, but this was difficult to access. Minor defect, but annoying.

Pros:

Le personnel et le petit déjeuner étaient vraiment top! Les chambres sont propres et confortables :)

Cons:

La salle de bain est partagée (c'était mentionné dans l'annonce). Cependant pour une chambre assez petite, avec lits séparés et salle de bain en dehors de la chambre, le prix (142€ pour deux personnes) nous semble excessif.
