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.

Suspect opinions depend on room allocation? I’m puzzled by the profile of this hotel. Clearly some people have been very happy with their experience and their pics evidence tidy, spacious rooms. My own experience was: - top floor double fronting the street (having requested quiet room); - small room for a double; - bed comfortable but pillows awful; - room clean but en-suite less so, shower cabinet broken and head filthy; - electric shower poor; - windows didn’t fit frame properly so noise & draft intruded (wouldn’t like to be there in winter). The people were friendly but seemed hard-pressed. Bar area fine. Didn’t eat in house. Suggest you choose your room with care.

Bed Bugs! I immediately informed the woman manager who blamed me (“they’re brought in “) They don’t hitch a ride when hiking or everyone would infect hotels! They are called bed bugs for a reason! The sheets were thread bare & pillows were so thin stacking four didn’t make a decent one. Everything is old. Hot water and trickling water pressure for the shower. Tried to make it cool but lost water completely. My lights didn’t work when I arrived. I was willing to look past all that but bed bugs and having the Audacity to blame a guest?! Absolutely NOT

The room was clean, the bed was clean and comfy. The sad part is that it is an old building so expect some creaking floors and had the pleasure of having window to main street, enjoying the conversations of the people on the street and the sound of cars going past.

Confusing/funny gluten-free experience Was staying in the nearby area for a weekend away. Had noticed the restaurant offered a gluten-free menu which was great because one of us is coeliac. We eat out a lot and have many great experiences. As this establishment appeared to offer a lot of fried food, I called ahead which I normally wouldn’t do, just to enquire as to whether the gluten-free items were prepared in the same oil as non GF items. The woman on the phone kindly detailed that the fish and chips they serve is always gluten-free no matter who orders it, and that this is the only thing that’s ever in the friers, with everything else being oven cooked. When we arrived, having booked in advance for the earliest slot available (5.15pm), no one was around in the restaurant bistro area, although I noticed it said at each table ‘please order food at the bar’. I went and ordered, and purely for formalities sake, I mentioned that the fish & chips order was for a coeliac. I knew this didn’t matter because of the conversation I’d had on the phone, but simply mentioned it due to the fact no one had been there to greet us into the restaurant, so I wanted to ensure that message was passed on, again just for formalities sake. 45 minutes later, after some food having arrived to table who had arrived after us had been served, someone came into the restaurant and asked loudly ‘who is the coeliac?’, when I informed them it was me, they told us ‘that’s us just clearing out the oil so it’ll be another 10 minutes’. I was confused, because there was no need to clear any oil if the conversation on the telephone was accurate. I was also confused as to why it was 45 minutes after our order when we were booked on the earliest sitting time, and had phoned ahead. Another 25 minutes passed before the food came. And another table who were also waiting went to ask about there’s. When they returned they said ‘they’re blaming the coeliacs’. The food itself was actually decent. At the level of quality you’d expect, but good. But it’s the first time I’ve ever been close to leaving before the arrival of food it had taken so long. It’s a good job they ask you to pay for your food order at the point of ordering, or I believe a lot of customers would’ve been complaining. There were two other tables made to wait, and when they came, they exclaimed to basically the whole restaurant “sorry, it’s because we had a coeliac so we had to clear oil” while I was still sat there. Even the other tables were in disbelief. I said to the girl that served us “when I phoned ahead, someone said they only ever do the fish in the fryer so I don’t see why the oil had to be cleared”. And was told something about it having been a busy day and then not wanting to take chances. The busy day part made little sense with the fact we were the first sitting. There had been a darts event on in the function suite, so maybe it’s possible that they had ignored their policy that day of only cooking the GF fish and chips in the fryer. Anyway, the whole experience was quite amazing. Funny really. But yes, not advisable to behave this way when you are offering gluten-free menus. No one is expecting you to offer that menu, so if you do, it’s great for people who require it, and I don’t think they should be made to feel like an inconvenience. Luckily I’m quite a confident guy who eats out a lot and never really has any issues. The only issue this time was the wait time and the confusion mixed information, as well as the service off the back of it all. Wouldn’t return even though the choices for gluten-free are limited in the area. A shame as the food itself was actually reasonably good.

Nice Grantown Experience! Location was ideal, my single room was spacious (a biscuit or bottle of water in the hospitality tray might have been nice). Staff were excellent and friendly.
