Our first time visiting this beautiful village, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The 3-mile drive to the hotel was filled with breathtaking views, and the hotel itself is right in the heart of town. We had such a lovely stay—the staff were incredibly polite and couldn’t have been more helpful. Our family room was super spacious (one of the biggest we’ve seen at this price!) with a nice, big bathroom too. Waking up to the best views was a treat, and breakfast was fantastic. Just wish we didn’t have to leave so soon! It really surpassed all our expectations.

Although we hadn't booked, they were able to squeeze four of us in for an evening meal.This turned out to be our lucky night as we enjoyed a fantastic three course meal with good wine and excellent service. The food was beautifully cooked and presented, with good quality meat and fish dishes. There was no pressure on us to finish and move on, and we were able to take our time to enjoy the excellent food. We would thoroughly recommend eating here.

Nice location in the centre of Tomintoul , food was really good, staff attentive and helpful, they were very busy so there was a little bit of a wait for the meal but it was certainly worth it
