    The Highlander Inn offered a charming atmosphere with good decor that felt cute. I appreciated the accessible layout. The staff's attention to detail further enhanced my comfortable stay.

    Better accessibility options for seniors would be ideal.

    poor tv signal

    The staff were friendly, especially the bartender who had an immense knowledge of whisky. The delicious meals, particularly the hearty full scottish breakfast, were nice and set a great tone for my adventures in the area.

    the tv signal was poor.

    amazing whisky

    Solo traveler's hidden gem!

    So, I accidentally ended up in this charming spot during my Speyside wanderings and wow, what a place! The staff were cute. Especially this bartender Kei, who not only handed me a monstrous whisky menu but also knew every bit about each bottle, I tried a fantastic flight of six drams, it was like tasting the spirit of Scotland itself. The food? Let's just say the chicken and pancetta pie was something my taste buds won't forget anytime soon.

    friendly staff
    excellent breakfasts
    updating needed
    steep staircase
    limited luxury

    A well-positioned spot for exploring local distilleries with friendly staff who go out of their way to accommodate requests, like breakfast timings. The food, especially the breakfasts, was quite excellent with good portion sizes and quality. The accommodations could use some updating, and the staircase to the rooms felt a bit daunting after a long day of walking.

    small room
    limited space

    The stay was perfect for exploring the nearby distilleries and taking walks along the scenic river. The staff were incredibly welcoming and really shared their knowledge of whisky, making for a great experience at the bar. The full Scottish breakfast was a highlight too, definitely set us up for the day! the room was a bit cramped with limited space to move around comfortably.

    whisky selection
    cozy atmosphere
    engaging experience
    dated decor

    The whisky selection here is downright amazing, with a friend behind the bar who really knows his stuff. It's a cozy spot for a good evening, perfect for engaging with fellow whisky lovers. You can sample local distilleries. The pub atmosphere couldn't be more inviting.

    It feels like a bit of a time warp. The decor gives off serious 'granny's house' vibes, which isn't exactly thrilling for modern tastes. Some meals missed the mark, like the dry grilled chicken and basic burger offerings-certainly not what you'd expect near distilleries famous for their splendid fare. Breakfast could also use more variety. Having a wider choice would really elevate the experience. Although the buzzing atmosphere is great, parking could get tricky during busy hours. Lastly, the slight lack of charging points in the twin room can be a bit frustrating if you're traveling with multiple devices.

    The staff were super friendly n helpful, always there to chat about whisky. The food was really good too, especially the full scottish breakfast. My room had a nice view over the park, and it was comfy and cozy. Loved the bar atmosphere, met locals and other travelers there. Perfect spot for walks along the river and visiting distilleries nearby.

    whisky selection
    homemade pies
    cozy bar
    breakfast coffee

    I had an amazing time enjoying the local whisky selection and the fantastic homemade pies during my stay. There’s a lovely cozy bar area where you can relax with a drink or sample different whiskies. The only thing I wish was that the coffee at breakfast could’ve been a bit stronger, but it was still good! 🍻
