The world class whiskey bar (over 800 bottles) alone, hosted by a truly knowledgeable somm, made the stay memorable. Overwhelmed, slow dinner service and somewhat dated areas lost a star for us.

Luxury? Frosty welcome, portering our own bags up rain soaked stairs outside, generally tatty exterior and care worn inside. Room OK, bed good, bathroom could use work. No breakfast first morning, good offering the next day. There are better places to stay in Speyside (book well in advance). Very poor value at over $660 for two night stay with one breakfast! Owner and no manager were available on site to address concerns. Stay elsewhere!

Not happy - and expensive
Poor state of repair for the room and mould in the bathroom, one window did not open. Told “that’s the way it is” instead of staff offering to help. Tv did not work. Streetlight directly into room window. For over 200 pounds per night, a pretty poor show.

Not as good as advertised.
We arrived a little earlier than we expected. The lady on reception was quite 'frosty'. Told us to come back at 3pm. She didn't offer a seat in the lounge or bar. When we returned after 3 the room was still 'being finished'. This hotel is geared up for Americans and other nationalities. We were English so didn't matter. My husband wanted the whisky experience they advertised in their whisky room . When we entered the whisky guide was giving an American couple the full treatment, explaining about the whisky , where is was from, the flavours etc. We were totally ignored. When the Americans left, my husband tried to ask some questions but the expert was very curt and put his hat and coat on and left. The only saving grace was the bar staff downstairs. They were very helpful and polite. I probably wouldn't go again. Unless i changed nationality to American
