Pros:

100 多年的老房子，非常有品味，舒适且干净。在一个安静的街角，离麦凯伦酒厂很近，几分钟车程。它的特色是自营的小酒馆，晚餐品质也很高。日本老板，在东京雅加达还有分店。日本籍员工的态度非常好，苏格兰本地员工大多数都非常热情周到。总体来说非常值得推荐。

Cons:

本地员工中有很傲慢的，比如早餐老太和 hotel manager，尤其是那个manager，不愿意搭理人的样子，给我们留下了不好的印象。

I was disappointed with the eating arrangements but otherwise fine. There are very limited options
Pros:

Breakfast was fine and location was excellent for walking Speyside Way.

Cons:

I didn't really like having to make reservations for dinner, though I can see the necessity. I very much disliked being seated solo at a barrel table with barrel as wide as the table top, forcing me to have to spread my legs WIDE to get close enough to the table to even eat. Dining is in same small room as the very noisy and crowded bar. There seemed to be plenty of comfortable seating in the breakfast area upstairs where the kitchen was apparently located anyway. There also appeared to be sufficient staff that reservations could allow for a few more people to be accommodated for each reserved seating time. As a through Speyside Way walker it was difficult to be sure just when I could get to dinner,.and I did reserve for breakfast, I couldn't do so until late afternoon and couldn't get a time slot as early as I wished.

Pros:

Im Hotel wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen. Wir hatten ein Zimmer in dem Cottage direkt nebenan und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Alles war makellos sauber, und die Betten waren sehr bequem. Das Hotel liegt in einer wunderschönen Gegend, direkt am Speyside Way. Auch die Bar im Keller des Hotels mit ihrer riesigen Whisky-Auswahl ist einen Besuch wert!

Lovely hotel with gluten free breakfast, parking, pet friendly and friendly staff, ideal for a whisky-filled stay.
Pros:

Easy parking in front of the hotel, easy check-in and check-out, super friendly staff, THE WHISKY BAR, and a full English breakfast easily accommodated (gluten-free) for my wife. Carol was lovely with our little pet!

Cons:

They could have provided a table in the bar area for guests with pets. We would certainly have spent more if they offered guided whisky pairings with local chocolates, cheeses, or charcuterie. It would be a friendly way to introduce beginners like us to whisky.

Highly overrated pub. Find anywhere else if you can.
Pros:

Great place to sleep, but if you're awake.....find anywhere else to be at.

Cons:

Terrible pub. Food was not great and it was VERY boring. I would avoid it at all cost as there are much better places to spend an evening in the area.
