The only reason I have left a 4 star review is because my steak was very undercooked (asked for…read moreMedium but was blue in the middle), but was replaced and dealt with very quickly and professionally.

Slightly gutted to award 4 star and if the steak was cooked right 1st time would get it.

I can't say enough about the breakfast either. It was one of the best traditional Scottish breakfasts I've eaten. I would stay here again

What a Wonderful Place to Stumble upon!…read moreWe decided to stop here for a quick breakfast on our way to some Distillery Tours. It was SO good. The Americano and Cappuccino were excellent. I had the "bacon and egg filled roll". It was HUGE (and quite inexpensive). It's essentially bacon and a fried egg in a sandwich bun, but it was the size of my hand. Neither my boyfriend nor I could finish one! They do have a vegetarian version of the roll, as well as a "Vegetarian Breakfast" for any vegetarians out there. A nice, quick breakfast in a quaint town!

The Aberlour Hotel is conveniently located on Aberlour High Street, just opposite the main piazza,…read morethe village church, besides a High Street bank and Coop food store. It offers rooms (single and double), a bar and restaurant. The hotel has been decorated and renovated to a very high standard about 3 years ago. Room prices start from £60 for a single room not en-suit. More information about prices and hotel amenities can be found on their webpage. The rooms are very clean and so are the en-suit bath or shower rooms. Windows are double glazed. Breakfast is included in the overnight price and you are able to choose from a comprehensive list of choices: Vegetarian. English, Continental, kippers....muesli and juices are self service. Evening dinner is served in their welcoming restaurant. The menu holds steak (rib eye, sirloin, fillet), chilli con carne , burgers , fish and chips and much more. The staff is very nice. Evelyn made my breakfast experience a delight and did not rush me to finish off after the breakfast deadline expired. This hotel is good for families, groups and singles alike. I can imagine that during summer time it can be very busy. Aberlour and other distilleries are closeby, some are even walking distance. I will definitely be back!

We spent time exploring Speyside and booked ourselves in for an evening into The Station Hotel. It…read moreturned out to be a rather splendid decision. The hotel is in the centre of Rothes. It is modern at the one hand, thoroughly traditional Scottish at the other hand. We had two lovely junior suites with breakfast included. At the same time we spent a great evening between the Pagoda restaurant and the Spirit Room with its amazing amount of whiskies. A great place to stay, dine and drink.

I am just not one of those people who love quaint but i am not one of them.. This place is old, the bathrooms are small, there is no water pressure there is no counter space, the towels feel 20 years old, there is no elevator and the stairs or narrow and steep. The stay just don't seem to care about anything. You can hear everything that happens in the hallway and the room next door. If i had paid a lot less, my expectations would have been a lot lower, but at 300 GBP a night, i expected more. On the positive side, the whisky bar is fantastic and the bartender very knowledgeable with a keen sense of finding just the right unusual whisky for you to try. The restaurant is good but both times I've dined there they have been out of several items - including the burger. Overall, stay somewhere else and drive to Abelour to enjoy it

This was by far the best hotel we stayed at in Speyside and in Scotland. Their whisky bar has the…read moregreatest selection of single malt scotch and the bartender is incredibly knowledgeable.

We stayed at the Mansion House Hotel last night (July27th, 2019). The Mansion itself is gorgeous…read more It looks like a small castle. I wouldn't recommend staying the night but I would recommend a reservation for dinner here just to have the experience. The negative: I felt like the price wasn't worth the stay. The pool was not open. The salon and spa were not operating during our stay either. These were some things I was looking forward to. I made the mistake of assuming and not asking because they are featured amenities when booking the hotel. There were also a few little things amiss. For example: trash behind the bed, the handle bar for the shower bar was missing a gasket and kept falling, the trash can in the bathroom was broken, the room was really hot (they did have a fan). Just a lot of small things that add up. The positive: The breakfast, dessert, and drinks we had here were delicious! The bar is pretty well stocked. I have a dairy allergy and my waiter and the cook took care to make sure there were no cross contamination's. The area around the mansion is gorgeous. This is a great place to take some fun pictures! Overall we did enjoy our stay. The staff was lovely. They do all leave for the night which is something to note. The place just needs more love and care.

We only stayed one night, but really enjoyed our stay here…read more The grounds and exterior are really beautiful. Our room was charming, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom was one of the nicest we had during our whole 3 week trip to the UK. Breakfast was delicious as well! The interior of the mansion is beautiful, but clearly is in need of some care. For example, we noticed an incredibly large rip in the felt on the pool table, there were a few spots where we noticed wear and tear on the walls, and our bedspread had a few spots where either someone burned it or it just wore through. We chose not to have dinner at the mansion because even though the menu at the restaurant looked amazing, it was VERY expensive. I'm very happy we chose to stay at the Mansion, and hope to visit again - it just needs a tiny facelift to be perfect!

Alas Yelp was of little use (I've found that outside the US Yelp is a poor representation of dining options). I tried the Sunninghill for diner at the suggestion of a local shopkeeper. The Maître d' told us they were booked until 9pm (a good omen) but she would try to fit us in. While waiting we sampled their extensive selection of fine scotch. The bar staff was friendly and helpful. Once seated, the restaurant service was warm, and food was served promptly. All was good to excellent: well prepared and presented, although the meats tended to be over cooked. Desert was well worth the gluttony.
