We visited early evening last week and enjoyed an excellent meal. The Steak Pie was delicious and real chips rather than froze . The staff were very warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is also very dog friendly and they were welcomed with open arms.

We had a great stay at the Aberlour. The rooms were clean, beautiful and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food at the restaurant was fantastic. Our room was over the bar which got a bit noisy in the back for a bit but overall a great stay and would definitely recommend

Husband and I spent last night at The Aberlour Hotel and had a wonderful time. The room was fantastic: a large, very comfortable bed, all the usual amenities and a gorgeous, new-looking bathroom, complete with bath. The staff were lovely and helpful and breakfast was good. A great experience. Highly recommend.

We popped in for a meal on a busy weekday lunchtime. The staff were welcoming and very friendly, the dining area was pleasant and the food was good, with large portions, a varied menu to choose from and reasonably priced. We would certainly eat here again.

I highly recommend the Chicken Goujons. We have been here twice now and I have still to try any of the other menu items. I had these goujons on my first visit and they were exceptional! …
