This is a review purely for food as we did not stay in the hotel. For a hotel that has 'Famed for good food' emblazoned across their wall, we were completely let down. The food was cheap, nasty frozen rubbish. Scampi was poor quality, onion rings cheap and nasty, chips dry and the side salad left a lot to be... More

We had booked for a bar supper. Food was not great - I'm suspecting a great deal of use of the fryer and microwave. Service was really not good either. We were not offered more drinks etc. I'm sure the owners aren't really that interested as the lack of competition in the area will ensure that locals use it.

This is exactly what we expected it to be. Fochabers is a quiet little town and the hotel is like this too. We found the staff to be very friendly and they made us and our dog very welcome...in fact the dog got his own special breakfast cooked for him. The food was just lovely and very good sized portions... More

We booked a room for 3 nights, when we arrived we were greeted by the warm friendly staff. The hotel is an old building full of old world charm, from the lovely dining room, to the cosy breakfast room, all the way to the charming bedroom that we had. Our room had an on suite bath, while not the posh... More

The menu was not to bad so i went for the mince and potatoes as the menu appeared to be homemade scottish cooking, my wife went for the cullen skink (a scottish fish soup),... More

The hotel restaurant offered standard, traditional pub fare. The service was extremely slow—as some noted in previous reviews, we too ended up having to go to the bar (which was quite charming) to refill our drinks. The highlight of my meal was the Cullen Skink, a traditional cream-based Scottish soup prepared with smoked haddock and potatoes. I’m no expert when... More

Hotel easy to find. Lovely big building but decor dated all through the hotel. Room very spacious and bed very comfortable. This hotel did not disappoint. Staff were very friendly and even managed to fit us in for a meal. Food was delicious, without a long wait. Breakfast was just as good, ample choices of food. Very comfortable night had... More
