Pros:

Great location and everything was very clean. There was live music on a Thursday and a nice atmosphere in the bar area.

Cons:

The food was sub par. The A La Carte menu was very expensive and did not live up to the price tag - it took 40mins to come out even though we ordered first and what was on the plate was not what was written on the menu. When I told the staff they didn’t really understand the issue. Good value for money for cheap bed but i wouldn’t eat here.

Disappointing, no hot water in room & no receptionist on arrival on arrival at 5pm
Pros:

Central - doing Spey canoe trip and easy to walk to from the river.

Cons:

Took 20mins on arrival at approximately 5pm on 24th July 2026 to get male receptionist. I had booked 4 rooms. There was a queue. We were tired & wanted to check in but nobody could be found. Went to bar to try and get help. Next morning, lovely kiwi receptionist on duty… wish she had been on duty night before. It was shocking welcome - guy wasn’t even apologetic. There was also no hot water to shower on arrival. Having capsized in the river Spey, a hot shower was important. No hot water next day either despite saying problem evening before.

Ideal stopover heading from west coast to east coast
Pros:

Pretty much everything

Cons:

There wasn't really anything I didn't like though I could see the place is a bit tight for car parking. You might not want to be among the last half dozen vehicles to arrive

Very dated- needs urgent attention and repairs.
Pros:

It is a beautiful building and lovely bar area and restaurant. Breakfast very decent

Cons:

All the rest is very poor. We had to request changing one of our booked rooms because of the terrible mold smell. The mattresses were so old the springs were coming out - clearly not cleaned recently or thoroughly, it was full of spiderwebs all over the room and lastly, we couldn’t shower as the water wouldn’t come out from the shower head! One of the rooms had a step into the bathroom and no signs or marks to warn people. Almost tripped multiple times. We saw that a lot of retired people were coming from coach tours and thought how risky would it be for them too. Glad we only stayed one night as it would have become a real nuisance
