The nicest friendliest most efficient hotel I’ve stayed in Scotland. The food was exquisite, the breakfast to die for and in abundance. I’ve stayed in the most expensive 5 * hotels in Scotland and have frequently been very disappointed. I found the Dowans Hotel by far the best. I would rate this place 5 stars for sure. The decor is modern and of the highest taste, the staff are lovely, the food is exquisite and the hotel is pristine. I will definitely stay here again. I am extremely fussy but had no issues whatsoever with this hotel. Loved it !!

Common areas and room heating temperature set too low for snowy January. Additional electric heaters dotted around not effective. The Snug was not very as a result. Surprisingly no log fire anywhere, so the atmosphere is missing as a result. (Some e-biofuel burners could really help with heating and atmosphere.) The traditional exterior and high quality fitted interior doesn't sit well with the zero carbon austerity measured atmosphere.

The flight of whisky set up in the Snug was exceptional, an educational and high quality experience. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and very high quality. Decor and location excellent.

Our room was comfortable, well decorated with a gorgeous view. We liked the little touches, fresh ground coffee for the plunger and locally made shortbread, in our room. The owners and staff were all really friendly, and willing to share their local knowledge! We enjoyed an afternoon tea before spending time in the bar lounge for cocktails before our dinner. We are foodies, so knowing there is a pastry chef on premises baking delicious pastries and cakes made our stay just that little bit more special. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent here.

This family run boutique hotel met our expectations and more. Somehow they have found the magic of giving you all the amenities you expect in a higher end hotel but exuding the kind of warmth that makes you feel like you've been invited into their family home. The rooms were modern and well appointed, even included tile floor heat in the bathrooms. The food was delicious for both breakfast and dinner, they have a well appointed bar that includes brilliantly executed classic cocktails and an extensive whisky library (lounge) that lives up to their Speyside location. Simply put, Lauren and family nailed it. We will recommend this as our top location is Speyside to discerning travelers looking for something a little nicer.

Old building so carrying bags in was a chore. I don’t think there is A/C, but with global warming we had to open the windows. Then came the midges.

Great location near Macallan. The place was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and everyone was very accommodating. Breakfast was outstanding.

The restaurant was a little too hotel restaurant-y, but the bar area and outside dining area were really lovely.

A beautiful whisky hotel in Speyside. The room was lovely and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful.
