"Great old building and wonderful room - service needs to be better."

7.0

Great old building that has been renovated really well. Loved the room and the amenities in it. Bar was lovely and convenient location to the various distilleries. Spoke with one of the owners over breakfast and she was lovely, providing us with the history of the building and original owners.

Unfortunately, and probably because we’re in a remote location, service wasn’t up to expectations. Our dinner waitress said she couldn’t open wine bottles, we had to walk around at breakfast time to find someone to seat us and get our order, etc. This was disappointing considering the price paid. We also found it a very loud hotel - we were given a room above the bar so didn’t get to sleep on Sat evening until after midnight.

"Hôtel très confortable et bien situé"

8.0

Très bel hotel et bien situé dans le speyside pour des visites de distilleries. L'hôtel est confortable et on y mange bien

Il nous a paru bizarre de devoir s'installer au bar afin de pouvoir commander le repas du soir. Normalement on se met à table, on reçoit une carte, on commande et on boit un apéritif. Ici bizarrement on ne peut pas s'assoir à table avant d'avoir commandé. Et le personnel n'était pas très agréable...
