Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally situated in the Bridge of Cally, between Blairgowry and Glenshee, making it a great spot for exploring places like Braemar, Pitlochry, and Aberdeen. The rooms are spacious and clean, although a bigger TV would have been nice. The service is very attentive and helpful, especially accommodating late arrivals with a meal before closing. Enjoy the nice and peaceful surroundings despite some outdated aspects of the hotel.
The hotel had some pros like a convenient location for northern travel and beautiful scenery, but the rooms were in need of refurbishment and suffered from road noise. The service was welcoming, though some issues went unresolved. The dining experience was pleasant with warm breakfast options, and the facilities were adequate.
The hotel offers lovely and clean rooms with views of the river and trees, but there was some early morning noise due to the radio going on at 7 am. More enthusiastic cleaning is needed, although there were bowls for drinking water available. However, the price felt overpriced for the overall experience. A 'welcome pack' for dog owners in the rooms could be a nice addition.
The hotel exceeded our expectations in cleanliness and comfort. The room was well-appointed and spacious, and with the help of a staff member, we enjoyed the TV reception. However, there was a slight issue with the placement of towels as the room had not been fully cleaned yet.
