Pros:

The full Scottish breakfast was huge, the service staff were really good at taking feedback and dealing with our comments, in addition to being really very friendly.

Cons:

The room had not been deep cleaned upon arrival. The bed location relative to TV point didn't work so we moved the beds around. The room was very small with a shared bathroom.
The TV had to be reset as didn't initially work.

The public area staircase carpets were filthy.

The restaurant food for dinner was inconsistent in quality. The first occasion was excellent, but the same dish the second time was presented, and tasted different & was much smaller.

Pros:

Great little Inn with a good restaurant and excellent wiskey selection bar. The location is superb in the center of the Speyside region with distilleries on walking or very short drive distance. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

Excellent small hotel with lovely landlady
Pros:

A very pleasant and helpful landlady. Pleasant single room across from shared shower/toilet on top floor. All fixtures and fittings of an excellent standard.
The breakfast was superb. I’ve never seen such a huge full Scottish breakfast.

Cons:

The carpets to the rooms could do with a deep clean but there is nothing I didn’t like.

Zeer aangenaam verblijf gehad
Pros:

Alles is prima gegaan. Dat bed iets korter is in menig ander hotel heb ik niet als onprettig ervaren. Al het personeel is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ik had een één persoons kamer met privé (klein) badkamer. Ondanks het klein is, heb ik niet zo ervaren. Zou zeker weer hier verblijven als het uitkomt. Elke ochtend prima Schots ontbijt. Ook prima in de avond gegeten. Museum spoorlijn naar Keith is een aanrader

Cons:

Geen klachten
