The hotel offers a mix of positives and drawbacks. While the room lacked air conditioning or a fan, it did have a charming fireplace and leather furniture. The service was top-notch, with attentive room service and pleasant housekeeping. The location was a highlight, being nestled right in the center of Grantown on Spey despite its small size. The dining experience, although a bit frugal with portions, was cozy and intimate. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was decent but had some noise issues with the A/C unit. The location was convenient for me, but it might not suit everyone. On the bright side, the dining options were exceptional, and the staff were incredibly helpful.

Rooms

7.0

The room I stayed in was the smallest available, but it had a very good rate. However, it was just above an a/c unit which was very noisy during the night. The room was actually two single beds pushed together and looked a little tired in terms of the pelmet above the curtains.

The location was brilliant for exploring the area. Although it was nice and had onsite parking, it was next to a fire door that slammed shut each time someone passed through.

The hotel's rooms were warm, clean, and offered excellent value for money. While slightly pricey for the overall standard, the residents lounge provided a cozy atmosphere. The building and windows being older didn't hinder the overall positive experience.
