"We stayed for 3 nights at this adorable little boutique hotel in Rothes. Rothes is a sleepy little town but this hotel is definitely worth a stop for dinner or drinks, even if you stay elsewhere. Our room, the Glen Spey suite, was nicely appointed with a completely renovated and modern bathroom and giant soaking tub. Everything was clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that there was a heat wave the week we were there (2nd week of Sept), nothing in Scotland has A/C, and while the room has a window and fan, the window was covered in spiders and so we had a few very scary spider encounters. They are a little short staffed due to covid (as is everywhere in Scotland), but the staff are BEYOND lovely and helpful. They never make you feel rushed or bothersome, and they do everything they can to accommodate. The restaurant onsite is excellent but if you are American the burger will not be what you are expecting and I recommend you try other dishes. Everything is locally sourced and the scallops/short rib appetizer was one of the best things I ate during our entire 2 week trip. And of course I cannot leave a review without mentioning the amazing and extensive whisky collection they have at the onsite bar. We had so much fun trying a lot of new-to-us Scotches. They also have many rare vintages and difficult to find whiskeys that you can try by the dram. There are very well priced flights including one with old whiskeys. Final thoughts: there is no Uber in the area so plan on requesting taxis an hour or more before you need them. Glen Grant Distillery is a 5 minute walk away, and Glenfiddich Distillery is about a 15 minute drive. Breakfast at the on site restaurant was the best we had at a hotel! Nearby activities: There is almost nothing to do in Rothes aside from walking along the river, Glen Grant Distillery (which has a nice garden to walk through), and two tiny restaurants with limited hours. I felt that having a car was necessary except that if you are drinking you need to take a taxi, and Uber was not available. Safety: Rothes is a very quiet safe town.

"Wow, where should I start? the tasting menu was a fantastic culinary experience that was certainly worth the celebration of our jubilee. the courts have in their excellence...every seemingly better than the last, despite the early courses wonderful in their own right. each was a perfectly balanced creation, blending of aromen and textures to perfection. to mention some specialties (see the photos below to see how each dish was presented) the heke was simple, but overwhelmingly delicious when with the smoked raw and butter sauce. the lamb was probably my personal favorit, working with the overlapping aromes of the various cuts of lamb, carrot and tweeting together soou well. the direction continued in the desserts. especially the chocolate, the miserable, the sesame creation... very good. every cure, while a perfect combination tasteful, was also built and presented kreatiw...and the result was definitiw the wall worth in the kitchen. we also had the paired weepings that were all very painfully thought out and served further improved dishes. The theodora from Austria, which would not have been our first choice for your own drink, was perfectly complicated with confit kohlrabi. complete good for the team to get the wein pairs right. that was as good as it gets. the service was perfect. the place small, but as a result, somehow intimate. I wouldn't hesitate to go back, but it's not cheap. so it will only be for special occasions. the simplest 5-star rating I gave in the old one."
