Welcome to the Ben Mhor Hotel, to Grantown on Spey, and to the spectacular Scottish Highlands.

When you choose to stay you will experience a little bit of history. Our family owned and managed hotel first opened as a tempest hotel in 1902 and over the years has extended to what is now a quaint 24-bedroom hotel. You will receive the best of Scottish welcomes on arrival at our front desk, who are available to you 24 hours a day.

In 2019, our common areas were renovated, and we continue to make improvements and changes to our hotel, to make sure you have the best experience possible with us during your stay.

Family break
Good size family room with a very fresh looking bathroom. My son was very happy with the bunk bed. Good location in the middle of the town with the option for eating in the hotel. Handy for visiting Aviemore and opening up the highlands. Would definitely visit this hotel again. Price was great

Great food and drink at realistic price
Called in for evening meal and drink in the bar - food was super, food and drink good price and bar atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. I was taught by my late Italian Campanian mother-in-law to cook her renowned cannelloni with spinach and ricotta and I'm a bit fussy - this place did it well! 😋

Amazing I'd you're gluten free.
First off. This isn't a glitzy or glamorous hotel and there are bits of decour etc that could maybe do with a refresh. However (and it's an important however), the hotel doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, and for that I really liked it. The overnight price, the menu and the bar are all very reasonably priced, the bed was good, and the food very tasty with big portions. If you're gluten free like me then this is an even better option. Although more and more places have GF beer on tap, this is still not that common and so I was delighted to find a GF lager from Drygate Brewery here. (only 2 places in Aviemore and I believe this is the only 1 in Grantown with GF on tap). Only £3 a pint too. The evening menu is full of choice for GF, portions are big and it's really inexpensive. Breakfast was also great, and with both gluten free black pudding and gluten free haggis I felt obliged to have both. I'm sure I'll be back.

Comfy bed and great service.
Whilst the decor is a little bit tired the room itself had an incredibly comfy bed. The staff were very friendly and the food and drink prices for dinner are really good value. Enjoyed playing on the pool table and would happily stay here again.

Great place to stay
Great staff so friendly, and the room even though I booked a single was off a great size and very comfortable and clean. Even though I had my dog with me the staff where so friendly with him . I was also amazed how quiet it was as I couldn't hear any noise from outside which gave me a comfortable sleep.

Lovely one night stay
We stayed a night at the Ben Mhor last weekend. Check in was friendly and gave us all the info we needed. Room was nicely decorated and clean . When we tried the shower we found it wasn’t working. Reception were very helpful and moved us to another room where the shower was working perfectly . Both bathrooms looked to have been refurbished to a high standard very recently. As we were up visiting family we didn’t have time to eat or drink at the hotel but the breakfast was lovely and freshly cooked to order. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Reasonable priced stop over
Stayed previously and needed a reasonably priced overnight stop on the way up to Orkney. We noticed that it appears to be going through some renovation, the bedroom looked as if it had been redecorated. Free parking behind the hotel , decent bar with a range of beers etc They do food in the bar on an evening. The room and bed was comfortable and shower was excellent. However there were no bedside lamps which meant the lighting was on or off , the window had a block of wood to keep it open. We didn't eat there except for breakfast which was £10 extra, it was ok but not a great choice of food if you didn't want a cooked breakfast.

Great shower! Tidy and functional.
The photos tell the story - it's not luxury accommodation but it has everything you need and the price (for my trip at least) couldn't be beat. I was expecting things to be run down and to find stuff that was tired or not working though and that wasn't the case - all facilities were in great shape and definitely on the better end of what the photos suggested. Most importantly, the shower was really fantastic - nice and hot with great water pressure. If this is the kind of place you're looking for then that's probably a huge bonus! Staff all really helpful and incredibly communicative using their online messaging service too. (For context, I stopped in during an ultra-endurance bicycle race and was only there for about 4 hours so my experience was brief and I can't comment on the bar/restaurant or breakfast. However, it definitely over-delivered since it was the least expensive place I stayed during the whole race, including some glamping pods with no running water or bedding!)

Neat hotel. A bit outdated
The hotel could use an update. Small things could be modernized, such as no control of room lighting from the bed, more charging options for telephones and so on But in essence it is a good hotel. Nice good food and clean rooms
