The doors didn’t lock which they lad came to check it out and moved us rooms so that was an easy fix no issues there. However we had booked a double room and both rooms were two singles. Beds were super comfy so made up for it. Great service and would recommend.

Filthy bed with live bugs, wrong room, constant noise – avoided the second night

Booked a superior king sound-proofed room for two nights at what was meant to be a budget-friendly rate. On arrival I was told I was already checked in and that someone else was in my room. They gave me a different room instead.
The bed was disgusting. I woke after only a couple of hours covered in itchy scratches. The next morning in daylight I pulled the sheets back and found live bugs crawling – I filmed a clear video clip of them. On top of the infestation there was loud continuous noise all night that sounded like machinery or running water. Completely failed the “sound-proofed” claim.
I left the following morning and did not stay the second night. Thankfully I didn’t eat here. I contacted the hotel with full details of the problems (including the bug video) and they have completely ignored me. No reply, no explanation, no attempt to resolve anything.
Dirty rooms, confirmed bed bugs, incompetent check-in, constant noise, and zero customer service when presented with evidence. Do not book this hotel.

I booked a room for the wrong dates and would have had to pay twice. Okay, my mistake, but the hotel didn't suffer any loss as there were still plenty of rooms available.

We transferred to the Ben Mhor one night after realizing our other hotel was not up to snuff. The Ben Mhor staff was welcoming and great. The rooms are nice and clean and the bathrooms are too. There is a nice pub on the premises, with plenty to drink. Lots of locals roll in to the pub and everyone knows each other, great atmosphere. The food is solid too. Would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it! Be careful heading up the stairs if you have an upper room, as they are windy. The doors and floors are a bit creaky, but everything else is pretty great. Compared to other similar starred hotels in the area, this one is a great value. The pub is dog friendly! And good WiFi!

For the price, this is an excellent hotel.
Great location, friendly staff, ample parking, comfy bed, powerful shower, and (much) cheaper booking direct.

I love when I find a hidden gem of a place to stay and this was definitely one of them. The gentleman at the front desk could not have been kinder to us. This kind of hospitality is rare these days. He gave us all sorts of information and tips. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I didnt realize it came with a spa tub, so I was pretty happy about that. We had a lovely view of the village street below. The village itself was quiet and the perfect break we needed after Edinburgh. For the price, this place really cant be beat for value.

Lovely, clean, reasonable and friendly
Stayed one night. Room was lovely and clean . Staff were friendly. Had a few drinks in the wee bar, very reasonable, friendly punters. Checked out at 10 then able to have breakfast. Ideal. Good value for money. Bathroom door could do with a bit of WD-40 as if up through night for the loo, it's very creaky but otherwise a nice restful sleep. Nice area, went a morning walk and the locals were friendly. Would definitely return

Comfortable and good value
Stayed for a couple of days golf in the area. Great value, From easy booking and good communication, to friendly staff welcome, a very enjoyable visit. Good bar, with decent selection of whisky and real ale at reasonable price. Didn't eat there apart from breakfast, but meals looked good and popular in the bar. Would certainly use Ben Mhor again if up in that area,

Bar / Food only review - Very good, solid place!
Bar / Food only review! We went to the Ben Mhor because it looked reasonably priced and it was a good idea. The barman gave good craik in a way you (sadly) only get in Scotland. I ended up ordering some eggs benedict with a helping of chips. Everything was solid - no bells and whistles but nothing out of place either. It never went to the extraordinary but never put a foot wrong either. Alas we did have an accident with a glass that fell off the table but the staff were so amazing to help. The service was what made it!

Rotten with a capital R
Only giving this two stars because the staff were friendly and welcoming. However: - Very very basic - Room was freezing (get the heating on) - Shower was tiny and very poor - Walls paper thin. Had to listen to a couple talk bollox until 0100hrs - Food took nearly 45 mins Honestly you get what you pay for and thus is a spirit of the blitz type experience. Book if you have the ability to “dig in” a bit. If you don’t, look elsewhere.

For the cost, its not worth it!
This was booked via my work. Arrived, checked in ok and directed to my room. Room number 1, with a double bed and single bed (all that was available) The room certainly is not worth the £174 cost for 1 night, without breakfast. Basic, well worn. I appreciate its the end of tourist season and rooms may be a bit battered but some of this was not recent. Tried the tv later on and found only basic freevew. When i say basic freeview, you cant even get half the other channels available with freevew. So lets call it freeviews very poor relation. Only had bbc, ITV, channel 4 and 5, with a few others no one would really watch. Wandered to the bar, ordered a drink and enquired about food. Only then did they tell me there was no food that night due to holidays. - No food in a hotel restaurant, thats a first for me during my 14 years travelling for work. I was however told I could bring in a takeaway and eat it in the bar area. Didn't bother and took it to my room. Overall, very disappointed with this hotel. Stayed in Granton before, but elsewhere. I'll make sure I go elsewhere in future. On another note, if you are looking for some room beverages, turn left when you go out the front, wander along, cross at the traffic lights and there is a Premier store with a walk in beer cave!

Fantastic hotel
This is a fab hotel right in the middle of lovely Grantown on Spey. Our room was comfortable with a newly refurbished bathroom. Food in the bar was superb and such good value! Warm and welcoming and great value hotel. We will be back.
