Great location, comfort and staff
Beautiful old house - that is very modern and comfortable on the inside. Staff were very helpful, and made our visit very enjoyable. Food was great, and the Quaic bar was excellent. The location was brilliant for accessing many distilleries in the area.

It was a charming place to stay up in the Highlands. Our room was lovely, dinner in the Dining Room was deliciious ... onlly recommendation is that they should open the Whisky Bar at 6pm for a drink before dinner.

In the heart of Speyside and a short drive from multiple renowned distilleries, there is no better place to stay if you are on a whiskey tour with friends. Everything from the whiskey bar to the breakfast were excellent and we would definitely visit againz
