My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The rooms were stunning, stylish, beautifully clean, and so comfortable, perfect for a cozy winter stay. The staff were all lovely, friendly, and accommodating, making my experience incredibly warm and welcoming. The location is ideal for exploring the best of Speyside, near many distilleries and historic sites. The dining was delicious, with a nice selection, and the facilities were top-notch.

My stay at the Old Manse in the Aberlour junior suite was wonderful. The room was very well appointed and comfortable, though it had only one small letterbox window opening for fresh air. The service was of a high standard, especially from the friendly and capable owner. The location cannot be beat if you want to be in the Speyside area, as it is centrally located near many distilleries and offers lots of nice walks. The dining experience was a bit of a mixed bag, with an excellent morning meal but a slightly disappointing evening one. Overall, the hotel provided a great stay with some minor hiccups.

The hotel is ideally situated for visiting the distilleries along Speyside and exploring historic sites, but the room, although spacious, needs updating. The service was friendly and accommodating overall, yet lacked help with access difficulties. Dining was excellent, especially before a day of whiskey tastings, and the facilities were satisfactory.

Rooms

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious and beautifully appointed, making me feel like I was staying in luxury. However, I did miss having a bath in the room which would have been a nice touch. The hotel is located at the top of the building, offering stunning views of the surroundings.

The hotel is set in the heart of the Speyside area, making it a perfect location for whisky enthusiasts with its central position near many distilleries. The rooms were immaculately clean and well-designed with luxurious furnishings, though slightly compact despite booking a 'Standard Double'. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable about whisky, adding to the charm of the place. The dining experience offered a delightful array of flavors, especially ideal for those on a fishing holiday, and the facilities were top-notch for a comfortable stay.
