Idyllisch gelegen und gute Küche
Pros:

Sehr gute Auswahl zum Frühstück mit sehr guter Qualität. Essen im Pub ebenfalls empfehlenswert.
Zimmer klein aber okay. Bett und Dusche fein, Bad zu klein für uns. Sehr ruhig gelegen. Parkplatz kostenlos vor der Tür.

Cons:

Steiler Stiegenaufgang nichts für Leute mit Knieproblemen. Waschbecken sehr sehr klein, da trifft man beim Zähneputzen kaum hinein 🥴

Wonderful stay at The Mash Tun
Pros:

We booked the lodge rooms for our family of 6. We absolutely loved staying here . The lodge was perfect for a large family or group with four bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, 2 en suite and a large living room with fridge and big dining room. Lastly ; a terrific private rooftop deck . Staff was warm and friendly and prices very reasonable. Short walk to the Spey a river with a lovely path for walking / running . Town had a nice co-op market with great variety and open until 10pm. Otherwise , small town with few shops , all which close around 5pm. No laundry on site or other amenities.

Typisch Schots hotel waar je in wordt ondergedompeld.
Pros:

Er was keuze uit verschillende ontbijten met een optie bij voor extra yoghurt met granola, pancakes met siroop. Mooi verzorgd gebracht aan tafel.
De kamer ervaart u als een typische Schotse kamer met alle nodige luxe. Vergeet zeker niet te reserveren in het restaurant beneden om u te laten verrassen door een heerlijke keuken.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel.
