Found this quaint little town while on my whisky tour. Only a couple of thousand people, but there…read moreis a lot to see. I stayed at the Ben Mhor Hotel which was very clean and charming. I can't say enough about the breakfast either. It was one of the best traditional Scottish breakfasts I've eaten. I would stay here again

The best part of this hotel is the bar and the bar manager. This is an old building. It takes time…read moreto get used to it. The rooms are small. The shower takes forever to warm. There's no environmental control. Open or close the window. The food is atrocious. The "high tea" was not edible. The lunches are the worst. Breakfast is the same boring food everyday. Dinner is 2 stars at the very best. Look elsewhere.

The Grant Arms Hotel is a historical hotel located in Grantown on Spey…read more It is a very relatively well kept property with courteous staff. We arrived late after driving all day and their restaurant had already closed. The only restaurant nearby proved to be the worst establishment we encountered in our trip (separate review will follow). The rooms were a bit outdated and rather small. The hotel has a certain charm: they still operate the old historical which is a jewel in itself but lacks some of the amenities that one would expect, especially at this price range. The complimentary breakfast was good. We had so many expectations for our stay at this historical hotel but while we had a pleasant stay, our experience did not feel as special as this place would have warranted.

Still feeling out the hotel. A bit lacking on the hospitality…read more For the good... it was a quaint little hotel with olde charm feel. Near gramtown and a cute little area. The problem was it just seemed old and not much else. Wouldn't let us check in till 3 pm even though it seemed it was ready before that. came in for dinner and literally got stared at by two hostesses for 10 min Then waited for wife to return from water closet before coming over. Lacking a little on service and friendliness. They didn't come by all that much even though it wasn't busy. The food was lacking. I got the venison haunch and it was more of a venison sirloin and it was over cooked and not too tasty. Other than being cute the only other highlight was the bar. The bartender was cool and friendly. And only reason I gave an extra stars. Also had a decent whisky selection but not enough being so close to speyside and all the amazing distilleries. Should offer a whisky flight! Dinner and breakfast times were very limited for some reason. The room was super noisy and creaky floors. The neighbors sounded like they were in the room. The carpet and decor were right out of the 60s. Seemed like an elderly home and not the quaint hotel it could be. Really needs a makeover. No parking. Just in the driveway. Watch out for old grannies in their Mercedes not knowing how to park. Ugh! I'd recommend staying somewhere else

So this hotel is the cutest thing ever! It's old with creaky floors, but charming as hell. They…read morehave a restaurant downstairs that served really great food- and the staff was super friendly. The wifi was crap- but I was willing to trade that for the comfortable and clean room. The town itself was also super charming. Highly recommend!

Minus: Tired, shabby, 'well-past-it's-prime' atmosphere. Mixed-era decor in bedroom, lumpy & extremely uncomfortable bed, paper-thin walls, mildewed shower curtains, mould around the window panes, skimpy skinny full length mirror. Meh: Breakfast Exciting: Close & therefore noisy RAF jet flypast!

Nice restaurant. The clientele seems to be older for some reason, but they have nice game-driven…read morefoods. I got a coupon from the information place down on main street. Not sure if that's a regular thing. I had the venison, which was very tender. Not a huge selection of beers or scotches, but they are pretty good. The desserts were great.

Fine hotel. Went for dinner on recommendation and the food was good. Excellent charcuterie board…read morebut the service was not great. They catered to the older and business crowd and never refilled or asked us if we wanted more water or a refill of our other drinks. We sat for an hour waiting for our check while they pointedly ignored us. Only go if you are in for a LONG night
