This hotel has the most amazing shared spaces; the dining room is like a grand hall with open fire and minstrels gallery - all beautifully decorated for Christmas - and the lounge is so cosy also with an open fire and lots of leather couches. Our room was quite small and quite dated - could definitely do with a new mattress - although the brand new bathroom was very nice! We booked the cheapest room and from the glimpses we caught of other rooms would definitely recommend paying a little more for a lot more space. Regardless - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and would happily return.

The location was super. Nice and quiet and a convenience store nearby as well as a craft brewery.. The train went right past our room, however you hardly noticed it. The included breakfast was wonderful and the staff were all great! We ate a meal in the dining room and the meal was good as well.Seemed like a nice pub as well,however it was hard to get a drink when we tried, so we just enjoyed a, whisky of ours in the lobby which had a great ambience.It is an older property that could maybe use a bit of a freshening up,however there really was nothing to complain about at all..It also had a fantastic beer garden it looked like, however it was rainy and not open during our stay

There really was nothing to not like

It is a marvelous building with a nice Victorian touch. Nice pub wit friendly staff and a dining room with wood fires like you've never see before. The building is almost 200y old and lots of details are also antique. So, if you see reviews about things about the hotel that we're maybe outdated or even malfunction, that's it... How nice to stay in a monument in these days of chain hotels. Thank you again for your Friendly welcome and service, good pubfood, quality breakfast. We loved it.....

Everything was acceptable. Some things were a bid tired but come on, what a nice experience!

Great location in centre of town. Lovely big room with four poster bed and huge bathroom with jacuzzi bath which was a lovely bonus to have a bath after a busy night catching up. Good options for breakfast and a tasty meal had in the bar too

Hotel in bits is showing its age. Some decor is old fashioned with cracks and damp patches seen in some places. Could do with some renovation work which I know won’t be cheap or easy due to age of building. Room was very hot on arrival and some windows couldn’t be opened to help lower the temperature

This hotel really is what foreign visitors to Scotland expect ..lots of tartan and stag heads! We loved the character of this hotel and the history. The staff were lovely and so helpful. The hotel was spotless, there was always someone out cleaning or hoovering. Location was fabulous..great base to explore Cairngorms and some really beautiful trails nearby. We did the trail at Blair castle and even spotted red squirrels ..wonderful moment.

We felt the bothy bar within the hotel could be doing with a better range of drinks. We had dinner at the bothy bar and we felt the certain elements were rushed eg chips could have been cooked longer however this a small detail and food was still lovely and hot none the less.

Perfect location right next to the station. The staff were very genial and friendly - I was given a free upgrade to a better room. Lovely lounge area with a roaring wood fire. A building full of character with lots of local and historical ambience. The Bothy Bar was open in the evening for good food and nice local beer.

The sash window in the room had long ago lost its cords, meaning that I needed to find something solid to prop the window open with at night. The cooked breakfast was ok but not brilliant.

We arrived very late and were delighted they could offer us dinner at nearly 9pm. So grateful to be able to park right out the front. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bath-towels were really big and fluffy. Breakfast was excellent. I just wish they had a coffee machine to make proper coffee :-)

The pillows could be a little plumper but we have no real complaints. A shelf or cabinet top in the bathroom to put toiletry bags would be good. Could hear the footprints from people upstairs but it is an old building with wooden floors so that is probably quite expected.

Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room was clean, warm, and nicely set out. It was also quite well sound insulated which was a big plus. Very comfortable lounge area. Parking area was well set out.

A bit disappointed that the dining-room was not in use for dinner (though it was offered to be put in use and the fire lit -but we declined as it seemed a lot of bother for just 2 of us, plus the Scotland rugby team was playing and was being shown on the TV in the adjoining room!) Only other comment is that the toilet was mounted on a plinth which made its use a bit of a challenge!

We had excellent tomato soup and bread for a late dinner in the pub. Breakfast was wonderful! We had a full Scottish breakfast. First time we had a breakfast like that. We loved the food and the service was really great. The décor and the outdoor flowers were really beautiful. We were looking for a "Scottish" experience and this hotel really sold it! Definitely would recommend this!

There were 3 of us so we got 2 rooms. The double room's water in the sink didn't come out but a trickle so that could have been better.

The beautiful entrance and the ability to park and access the hotel from the rail station. The welcoming we always receive as well as our many friends who stay there as the hotel are very group friendly. We enjoy using the internal bar and impressive dining hall for our events. A nice recent touch was the fire which was on in the evening in the open fireplace. It was a cold evening so it went down really well. Breakfasts are great and traditionally Scottish. We all love staying there and are looking forwards to our next stay.

I didnt want to leave!
