What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“A very charming Victorian era hotel in the heart of Grantown-on-Spey. My partner and I stopped here overnight on a drive about the Highlands and were very pleased with the cleanliness, comfort, size, and style of the rooms and hotel broadly. We enjoyed the cafe bar for a nightcap before bed. The front desk staff were above & beyond, as was the cafe bar bartender. It’s a great hotel in a small town with not too much to do (especially on a Sunday in the winter), but we enjoyed our stay nonetheless (just be prepared to drive to Aviemore for more robust amenities). We were also pleased with the price - very reasonable for the quality, and the staff were communicative & generous with our last minute booking - the kitchen staff even stayed on till our arrival to make sure we’d had our dinner before closing for the night. Great hotel!”
