The room was a little chilly when we arrived but adjusting the temperature improved things. The building has wooden sash windows, which can be draughty. The shower head over the bath in our room was very high up and could not be adjusted.

Having stayed here before the food is always excellent, with lots of gluten free options - perfect for me as a coeliac sufferer. The staff are always very helpful, polite and attentive.

Bar looked too brightly lit. Prefer cosy!

The shower in our room needed some tlc and the bathroom door was a killer!

Bathroom and bath were very small. Shower was tricky to operate. Could do with a refurbishment. Room was cold after heating was switched off. Bed was too short for me (5’11’) and was also cold. It wasn’t the coldest night outside either.

Welcome from reception. Room view of the Square.Overall room size( although see comments on bathroom). Dinner was ok, (although it would have been good to have a ‘specials’ section on the menu) Breakfast choice was good although cereals and add ons in that area were limited. Service was polite and prompt.

The weather on the first day. Storm Babet, so not a lot you can do about that.

Great food, great room, friendly staff and great location for touring the area and birdwatching.

The bar area is very big which means it feels slightly lacking in atmosphere

Beautiful building with a great history. Very dog friendly. Great whisky selection. Location could not be better.

We loved the bar and the great selection of whisky, I found that the lighting was a touch too bright in the evening. A dimmer would help to make it more intimate/relaxing.

They have been accomodating and despite arrive 10mins after the dinner time allowed us to have dinner, which was very much appreciated The rooms are comfy and spacious and we felt like at home. The staff is excellent (dining, bar, reception) The Grantham golf, at walking distance, is worth visiting

The shower was really confusing to use, needs two brains to work it out.

The location is nice, if you are spending time in Cairgorms or just in the nearby riverside. The staff was really friendly, and I was very impressed that they remembered my food allergies. The room was nice and quiet.

Only minor niggles, quality of coffee and bread could have been a little better.

Traditional, airy Scottish hotel in a lovely location. Front rooms have pleasant outlook, rear rooms quiet.
