Older well maintained hotel with brand new bathroom fittings (walk in shower with on demand hot water). Gorgeous views from the hotel. Dinners and breakfasts were very good. Hotel staff was helpful on what to do in the area (and warned us of a bridge that was out). Not far from many Speyside distilleries.
