If you don’t have a car be sure and contact one of the local companies to drive you around. We used Craigellachie cars who were very accommodating. If you arrive at the local train station in Keith you will need to have a pick up.

On site dining with a local pub across the street. Pretty riverside walk behind the hotel. Staff were excellent and hotel was the kind of cozy you would hope for in Scotland. Bartender in the main bar was excellent, knowledgeable, created a professional but fun atmosphere with an incredibly well stocked bar and whiskey collection. Hotel is close to many Speyside distilleries and Aberlour the famous Walkers shortbread company. Comfortable lounge where you can sit quietly with a book and enjoy the surroundings.

I always avoid leaving negative reviews but I was very disappointed with our room. I paid £340 per night and found the room was very basic and not at all what I was expecting. Although the bathroom was clean and offered a good range of products, there were no robes and it felt fairly bleak. A real missed opportunity as it would be so easy to transform the space into something special with the use of good design.

Good food and excellent location. The receptionist, in particular, was wonderfully welcoming and couldn't have made more fuss of our dog who completely fell in love with her. We were made to feel very comfortable with our dog throughout the hotel.

The restaurant in the bottom floor wasn’t that great. Forgot to bring an item I ordered. Food was so so

Had an issue with the single bed mattress and the staff wasn’t able to resolve it, so they moved us into a king size bedroom. Staff was really nice in resolving this. Spent some time in the whiskey bar and the bartender was superb. He was personable and very knowledgeable about whiskey.

Restaurant waitress was not at all flexible , twice. Lunch and dinner. A hotel that charges these prices must have some amenities and mini bar , there was not even cotton tips

Room Key is too big 😁

Great location, big room and friendly staffs

Not really "not like" point but the room keys was hung on heavy fish keychain. Was definitely a fun and cute point but was just wondering if we stayed more nights, we'd have to lug the heavy key around (haha).

Location was central to our travel plans and being at a very accessible location, it was a smooth and comfortable stop-over. The restaurant together with the hotel was superb and definitely saved us a lot of effort to find a dinner spot. The amazing dishes helped us recover from our long drive over and we had a rested rest overnight. Breakfast was also very hearty and proper. Will definitely be back!

The receptionist who checked us in and also with whom we checked out was not very friendly. Seemed annoyed with us and could not have cared less that we were leaving. Overall, every other staff member was warm and friendly.

Loved the Quaich bar and Ryan the bartender. Excellent breakfast. Great location for a distillery tours.

This place was perfect. Lovely rooms, a sitting room for tea, a fantastic whiskey bar, and great restaurant. There is a footpath outside of the hotel that was so nice for morning runs. We wished we were staying longer.

The only downside was the rooms - moldy carpet and bathroom gave us a severe allergic reaction which stopped once we left. The beds were not very comfortable.

The staff, lounge, whisky bar and restaurant were superb. The location was central to Speyside - good if you are going to do distillery tours, but nothing to do by foot in town. A great place with free parking if you rent a car like we did. The room was very spacious, and the hair and body products in the room were the best I ever had at a hotel. The Whisky Bar in the Hotel was one of the best I've ever been to.

The dinner on the lower level restaurant could have been better. Our steak was served pink rare and the pork slices served was disappointing but the staff did cooked our steak further and more pork slices were served. Thank you.

Breakfast was good.

Our bathroom tub which doubled up as a shower is a bit narrow and didn't drain very well. A bit pricey for what you expect to pay.

It is the BEST location for touring the Whisky Trail and famous distilleries as well as smaller family owned distilleries. Having the famous Quiche Bar and the Spey Inn restaurant on site made it easier after drinking not having to drive anywhere or hire a taxi. The hotel is elegantly decorated with tons of history behind. It's an "old school" style of hotel with historical features and charm. The rooms are beautifully furnished.

Some spaces are showing signs of wear - scuff marks, scratches, etc. A little attention to those details would take this property from good to great.

The reception staff went out of their way to assist with special requests. The whisky room bartender was knowledgeable and did a great job answering questions and helping us make a selection. The breakfast buffet and menu options included a wide range of choices. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms spacious.

The hostess in the restaurant wasn't very friendly. The breakfast was disappointing.

I loved that it was dog friendly and they were welcome anywhere. My husband and I enjoyed the whisky bar very much. The gentleman attending the bar was brilliant.
