Upon arriving we were met with a very nice lady and checked in with no issue. While the hotel is quite old and could use a good carpet cleaning, the bathroom in the room seemed to have been recently remodeled and was great. While this is a hotel they do have a ballroom for great live music and dancing which goes until midnight. Unfortunately we stayed right above this said music and found it hard to sleep during these times. Breakfast was average for the price but dinner was much better. The bar seemes to always be busy and rushed but they had great employees and drinks. This property is in a nice area with great walkable paths and stores all around. Finding food other than the hotel nearby was quite difficult and the lady at the front desk was no help with our questions. Parking is available in the front and back lot.

Staff were welcoming, but the room was tired. Poorly hung old curtains, thin mattress and pillows. Bed was not comfortable. Wallpaper coming off the wall and water stains on the ceiling. Bathroom was renovated, but the room was not. White towels were old, thin and greyish in colour. Went to breakfast. No tables were set. Had to ask a number of times for plates and mild for the cereal. Many of the breakfast choices, e.g., scrambled egg had run-out and nobody was replenishing them. Staff seemed to be stressed and not providing good service. Evening entertainer (Scottish singer) in the ballroom was excellent.

I bet this hotel was really grand in its heyday. Now it is a very run-down hotel with creaky floors, tattered carpets, saggy mattresses, broken chairs and no water pressure in the shower. The bathroom floor seemed like it would collapse at any moment. No shampoo or soap in the shower. The cost was way too high for the condition of the room. They offer a 4-course dinner for $25 which was good. The service staff were nice. This hotel really needs an overhaul but they stay busy with bus tours of senior citizens. Not sure when the exterior picture was taken as the hotel and garden looks nothing like that picture.

Lovely hiking, sheep dog farm, & a trip to L.Ness
The staff were lovely- even helping us out with boxed breakfasts which were made available more than half an hour before the kitchen opened for the morning we had an early start. One of our 3 booked rooms had a problem, but that couple was upgraded to a better room and once again, the staff were very accomodating

Wonderful stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We loved the charm of the hotel. Located right in town with quaint shops. The walk path along the Gynack Burn was very relaxing and informative. Great to stay in the Highlands if Scotland.

Tired
The staff were lovely but the hotel was very tired. Noise from plumbing and other rooms meant a poor night's sleep. The hotel was over heated. Breakfast buffet was adequate. Barman on the second night of our stay was very good and really new his malts!

Lovely, traditional, but tired
We had a lovely stay at the Duke of Gordon. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, it is clear that the hotel is important to both its community and many returning guests. A wonderful location for exploring the Cairngorms and visiting the Highland Wildlife Park Time hasn't been a great friend however: The building was in need of upgrades in both the public areas and the bedrooms. And at times service fell beyond the level expected. It did not feel that the hotel was well managed. We may well return in the future and very much hope to see much needed improvements to this grand old hotel.
