tolles Hotel in Aberlour
Pros:

Das Bett war ein Traum, das beste das wir auf unseren 18 Tagen in Schottland hatten. Das Hotel ist zwar schon älter, aber für uns wars perfekt. Großes Zimmer und im Bad sogar eine Badewanne und eine Dusche, mit der man das großzügige Badezimmer nicht flutet.
Die Auswahl beim Frühstück lies keine Wünsche offen.
Parkplatz wie angegeben vorhanden.

Cons:

alles perfekt für uns

Pros:

Conveniently situated between Aberdeen and Inverness.
The Cullen Skink was good.
Breakfast buffet table could be more interesting.

Cons:

The room was very small. The taps were very odd in the way they worked and a staff member had to come up and give instructions. The bathroom had a pee smell and the door didn't close. The walls of the room were grubby.

Unlikely to stay again, but might turn up for breakfast
Pros:

The hotel seems in two halves. The rooms were indifferent. The evening meal dining area was poor.

The breakfast area was a different league and there was an excellent breakfast by any standard.

So two standards!!!!

Cons:

The bar and the evening dining area

Spare Room - Not what we paid for and no offer of recompense
Pros:

Dinner was averagely good.. Breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

4m. x 6m room. Damaged woodchip wallpaper. Unable to fasten shut the one sash window which gave out onto a flat roof; felt very vulnerable. Kettle had to boil on the floor. No en-suite. Lighting bizarre.

A perfect spot to experience Speyside!
Pros:

Really enjoyed our stay at Aberlour Hotel! It was the final stop after a multi-day hike & a perfect way to end the trip.
We were greeted with a friendly welcome and we were given useful advice to help our with our plans for the evening. The room was very comfortable & Aberlour is a delightful scenic village - and the generous breakfast was the perfect way to start our return journey.
