Gem of a hotel

This is a gem of a hotel well situated for Balmoral and other attractions. Spacious well appointed rooms with generous sized en- suite. Friendly and helpful staff. Great food choices and well cooked.

6/10 Good

I stayed here for just 1 night while travelling for work. Booked because of the great reviews however I didn't realise most are for the restaurant, which I can't comment on, rather than the hotel. I'll start with the positives. The staff were lovely, so helpful and friendly and the location was good for my travels. Parking was easy and free. Room was a good size with ensuite bathroom and tea & coffee making facilities. The negatives. The room was freezing. No quilt on the bed, just a top sheet, blanket and thin throw but they had thankfully provided a hot water bottle. Although the bedding seemed to be fresh the towels did not. They smelt musty and one of them was filthy with a horrible brown stain on which I didn't investigate too closely. The room and the whole hotel smelt of cooking oil. Now I know I've got a strong sense of smell and that downstairs is a restaurant but I've stayed in hotels like this before and never known anything like this. It was really overpowering. Breakfast cold selection was nice but basic. Just one small table with a cereal selection, some fruit, yogurt and juice. Cooked breakfast were available to order and were lovely although the portion sizes were quite small. I chose just to have the bacon, eggs and tomato from the full Scottish breakfast. Normally when you drop a few items they increase the quantity of the others but no I literally got 1 slice of bacon, 1 egg and half a tomato. Again though the staff were lovely.

My husband recently stayed at this lovely family run hotel and was really impressed. Before his arrival they even called ahead to ask if he’d like them to reserve his tea time slot in case it filled up, such a thoughtful touch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well looked after. They also went the extra mile by preparing him a packed lunch for the next day, which was much appreciated while he was working away. He’ll definitely be staying here again whenever he’s in the area for work.

We stayed here for one night for our friend’s wedding. It was a lovely stay in a friendly, authentic, well maintained hotel. There were good options for breakfast including a variety of cooked options and continental. We were sad we couldn’t have stayed here longer and hope to return

Great hotel

Great hotel our room was huge (room 5) and very comfortable. Staff were friendly, great breakfast and evening meals available in the bar restaurant onsite. Good location for visiting Balmoral and Cairngorms National Park. Couldn’t fault it.

Would highly recommend this property. Close to Balmoral. Clean spacious room and bathroom with great amenities. Very comfortable bed. The colour scheme in the room was vibrant and well thought out.

Nice hotel with friendly staff, only issues I had was my room was on the front of the hotel and as I like to have my window open when the pub patrons were outside for a smoke I had a really strong smell of smoke in my room.

Everything great, food lovely, room clean and comfy, but...Flowers on a table should be real or not at all.
Christine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was nice in many ways. Reception was chaotic. There was no recepton area, just a bell, which I rang three times. After the third time, I went through to the bar to find that an elderly lady was managing both bars, and check in.. Eventually after about 25 minutes we got checked in. The room was basic but clean, warm and comfortable. We had a nice cooked breakfast in the morning. I dont think £140 was particularly cheap for the standard of accomodation.

Very good value for money. Shed out back for charging e-bike was good. Evening meal was very good. Cooked breakfast was a wee bit disappointing.

Great 1 night stay - food options were great as were the friendliness of the staff. our Room was very good - comfortable and roomy.
Heather, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We thought the hotel was lovely. Spotlessly clean inside, the rooms were very well equipped apart from the shockingly poor non steam iron in the room. The bed was super comfortable and all of the staff were incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was super welcoming and friendly and helpful. All of the food we had during our stay was lovely . Generous meals sizes and wonderfully prepared. The hotels is well managed and maintained and run by a wonderful team . I highly recommend this place to stay, you wont be disappointed. We will defo come to stay again .next time for longer. Thank you so much for making our time in Scotland so special .

Typical Scottish hotel, good food (especially the breakfast and also the dinner) and good beers, also the wines are good; price/performance is very good

Flott

Et fint lite hotell med litt utdaterte, men komfortable rom. Gulv med helling og knirking bidro bare til sjarmen. Frokosten var veldig god med mange valgmuligheter.
