Pros:

Personnel tres agreable.
Petit hôtel un peu vieillissant mais accueil charmant.
Bon dîner et petit déjeuner moyen. Oeuf à la coque était en fait dur. Les granola sont des céréales kelloghs. Le café vraiment clair. Yaourt très bon.
Par contre j ai pu prendre un petit déjeuner ecossais complet et goûter toutes les spécialités : boudin noir, haggis, haricots, saucisses.....

Cons:

Café, moquette sale dans les circulations,

Great base for Speyside distillery touring.
Pros:

Great small hotel with rooms above a local pub. Staff were super-friendly, rooms were lovely and clean with comfy beds. Breakfast was a real highlight, with good quality and with options for vegetarians. The pub below was friendly, but was a bit more basic than the hotel. Easy walking distance to Glenfiddoch distillery and across the road from bus stop that takes you into nearby Aberlour and Elgin. Would recommend and gladly stay again.

Comfy hotel. Pity about the karaoke
Pros:

Hotel in central location. On street parking. Big clean bedroom and bathroom.

Cons:

Kareoke on Saturday afternoons and early evening, in the bar, below bedrooms, is unbelievably loud. Fortunately it finishes about 19.00 but is an experience.
The bar/ pub is not a place to watch football because the karaoke singer is immediately below the TV or the TV is immediately above the karaoke singer.
