Room was spacious, and quiet. People of the town , Tarland, are super nice and helpful. Breakfast delicious, and a lot of food. The service was above and beyond. Also, the dinners are fabulous if you decide to eat at the restaurant downstairs! We hope to be back!

Great hotel our room was huge (room 5) and very comfortable. Staff were friendly, great breakfast and evening meals available in the bar restaurant onsite. Good location for visiting Balmoral and Cairngorms National Park. Couldn’t fault it.

We stayed here for one night for our friend’s wedding. It was a lovely stay in a friendly, authentic, well maintained hotel. There were good options for breakfast including a variety of cooked options and continental. We were sad we couldn’t have stayed here longer and hope to return

Nice hotel with friendly staff, only issues I had was my room was on the front of the hotel and as I like to have my window open when the pub patrons were outside for a smoke I had a really strong smell of smoke in my room.
