For an unknown reason receiving the entry details was difficult but eventually successful. The room was clean and the facilities were very good. The decor won’t please everyone but the invisible staff refreshed towels and drinks efficiently. Aware that no food service was available the presence of the fridge was helpful to store our own items. Didn’t try the recommended place for breakfast. It was a fair price to reach Findhorn and Forres for the festival. When the noise issue was mysteriously fixed it was a comfortable stay.

Getting in was easy thanks to a coded lockbox. Parking was great. The stairs were really steep and narrow and I found it tricky coming down them especially carrying bags. The room was clean with good levels of supplies with some nice biscuits and a good working fridge with bottled water. Really close access for a walk to Brodie Castle too. There were a few niggles such as wires sticking out the ends of the heated towel rail, the kettle being precariously balanced due to short cable, sunken floorboards at the side of the bed which nearly tripped me up and staining from water damage on walls and ceiling. The mattress was memory foam but had obviously had heavy use and sunk down when lying on it so I didn't sleep very well because of this. Would stay again if small adjustments were made.

It's a beautiful Inn with a lot of history. The restaurant was closed when we got there, and after a long journey, we really needed something. Our room was pretty small, and we had no way to walk around the room with our suitcases on the floor.

We didn't see a soul. Check in was using a safe box to collect the key. Check out was dropping the key into a safe box. Room was clean and pleasant though and we had everything we needed.

2/10 Poor

Where do I start. I was told on the Hotels.com that details of the check in would be messaged to us before our check in. This did not happen although I messaged the hotel and then called them to be told that I would indeed be messaged the info but still no message so when we arrived I called them again and this time I got the info over the phone. When we went inside to our room and we immediately saw the bathroom floor wasn’t cleaned very well but I thought we wouldn’t worry too much about that because we were happy with the room. We then went to bed and turned the lights off but we had an emergency exit light shining on the wall lighting up the room like we hadn’t turned the lights off. In the morning I discovered the drains were blocked and the water was backing up in the toilet so I messaged the number that was in the reception area about the problem which was read almost immediately so I thought this would be dealt with. After a day out we returned and when my son went for a shower and afterwards flushed the toilet which then overflowed. The drains were still blocked and they hadn’t bothered to sort it out.

Room was clean, and nicely decorated in an old fashioned style with quirky art. Bed was clean and fresh if a bit soft. Dinner in the bar was quite nice, but service hours are vety short. We arrived 6pm as dinner was starting. We went out to an event, but the bar and restaurant was shut, and the building was all locked up when we arrived back just after 9.30pm. There were no staff.to check out with, and no breakfast offered.

Rooms were lovely and well decorated. Beds were really comfortable. The only downfall was dinner. We waited almost an hour for food and one meal arrived very cold. Shame as it looked good otherwise. The meal was removed from the bill.

I have passed the inn many times over the years and always wanted to stay . The photos online , pub with log burning fire , fantastic food . When I arrived no one on site pub lights on . Easy access to room which was lovely, read through the extensive and appetising menu , went down to find pub lights on but all locked up . Called the number to be told that they open at weekends. It was now after 7 , had to jump in the car and drive to nearby town , lots of fast food places an Indian Chinese restaurant. As a woman on her own I was looking forward to going down for dinner then back to my room . Came back again didn’t see a soul dark but pub lit up thank goodness. Not the stay I expected.

The room was clean and tidy. I do have to say though, wallpaper under the window is falling off and also in the bathroom on the ceiling above the toilet. The heated towel rail arm was also loose. Room also seemed a little small, not exactly expected for what was supposed to be a superior double room.

Easy access to the road for our road trip. We were disappointed by the phone call trying to stress us about arrival time; it was 6pm, latest option was 8pm… Cleanliness was mixed; clean en-suite and very good shower. Major dust between me and the plug socket beside the bed for phone charging. Overall ok, would use again if passing.

Location was good. Check in process was easy. The beds were comfortable. I don’t prefer to degrade but I also want to be honest though. The room was falling apart. There is obvious water damage. Drywall was falling off walls and ceilings. Several old patches. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling. The bed and bathroom were mostly clean, but the carpet was full of hair and probably hadn’t been cleaned in a while. There were several spider webs on the walls and stains on part of the comforters. Overall the place has got potential, but needs more attention to detail and overall maintenance. So, I’d only recommend it, depending what you’re paying for it.

The check-in process would have went smoother if I had checked my email 😅. As I booked through Expedia, I was expecting to have the instructions on my expedia inbox. So, I had to phone the host for the instructions, which she happily provided in a text. Interesting way of checking in, with a code and a lock box. Although it's nice to be greeted, this way saved a lot of time in waiting. The hotel was clean, the smell when entering the room was clean, fresh. Nice toiletries, plenty tea, coffee etc. Kettle and a small iron and ironing board in the room. Comfy bed, at least I slept well. The only downside, for which I've taken a star is that the room next door was very noisy on the day of the arrival, some ladies/ girls, laughing out loud and could hear them as they were in my room. Every time they used the toilet, I could hear the door, water flushing etc...very loudly. After a full day of travelling, I would have appreciated some peace and quiet. I haven't made the host aware about this, there is a note at the entrance to keep it down and respect the other guests, but I suppose, not everyone is considerate and educated. The hotel is in a quiet area, couldn't hear the outside noise, just from the next door. I stayed in rm 4. At the time they were not serving meals, but there are plenty places where you can eat around, one of them is 5 minutes walk and they have a shop there as well. (On the expensive side). But there are supermarkets and everything if you need anything.

We had a four night stay. Room was clean when we arrived but was not cleaned again until our last day. This was only done because I asked for dry towels and for our room to be cleaned. The staff were very friendly but didn't seem very knowledgeable. Communication was very poor. The room had an information booklet and gave menu's for the bar/ restaurant but no opening hours. However signs outside stated serving food all day long. This was not the case,I asked for the opening hours and the answers were very vague. Our mattress was old and lumpy so not the best. This place could be amazing with a bit of structure. I really disliked not being greeted when we arrived. We were sent a code for the keybox and found our own way to the room. We never saw anyone at the reception desk. We did eat on one night and the food and service was very good.I also liked the location of the property.

Needs to be shown better on the listing that the inn is un manned with no bar or food service. Had a small issue that was very quickly sorted out. Most likely will use again.

Though the property was clean and cosy, the lack of staff was somewhat of a shame. The bar and restaurant was also not open throughout the four nights of my stay, something that I was only informed of in the days leading up to my stay via the messaging service on the Hotels.com app.
