The Speyside Hotel

The Speyside Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I was traveling alone through the Cairngorms and chose to stay at The Speyside. What a great choice. I had a lovely suite with a generous living area and a comfortable bed. I arrived late after a long day of driving and was met with a smile and an offer of a late dinner - and what a great meal it was. A quick drink before and then a deliciously prepared meal with very friendly service. The morning was much the same - great breakfast and then off on my way. I'd stay here again any time and recommend it highly. PS... while you are in town, don't miss the terrific little town museum just up the street. It is worth an hour of your time for sure!"
