Quiet location. Easy parking. very friendly and obliging staff. Fridge in the room. Good, home cooked food.
The room, although spacious and comfortable was a little shabby. A new bathroom but paint on the carpet and scuffed paintwork. Given the water pressure the shower was tricky to use.

The owner, Kathryn was lovely and very welcoming. The room was clean and the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. The hotel suited our needs as an overnight stay prior to a work event the following day. We would definetly stay again if in the area.

The staff was lovely .the hotel was more than adequate.
Didn't like the fact that bookings told us we couldn't change the dates .the hotel couldn't have been more apologetic about it. They wanted to change it for us ,but couldn't cause bookings wouldn't have honoured the money.

Welcoming, Kat and Nicki coukd not if done enough to make me feel at home. Nothing was too much bother for them. The coal fire was most warming, very relaxing ambience.

The location was perfect for our stay, the breakfast was delicious and certainly value for money. Lovely view from our window. Staff were very welcoming and obliging. The only thing which isn’t a grievance was that the bedding could have been ironed!
The bedding could have been better but other than that it was comfortable and welcoming.

We've stayed here a few times when working in the area. Bar man Nicki was very helpful and friendly. There is a traditional music night on Tuesdays that's worth going for a listen

Dinner was good. Had a very good night in the pub. Room was nice, 300 year old pub. Staff were very friendly and Hosts were good
You could only use the shower for so long before it overflowed the shower tray, some kind of drainage problem, there was water leaking from the ceiling in the entrance hall, probably someones shower overflowing.

This charming inn in Tarland was off the beaten path, which was just what we wanted. We were able to enjoy visiting with the locals and join in with a terrific trad session.We also learned of some sites to see and enjoyed amazing food, friendly hosts and lively scenic drives.
When staying in a 300 year old inn, you should expect a few quirks. The shower door gave us some trouble and we inadvertently let water rain into the foyer below (my husband apologized profusely) Otherwise, we were completely happy and comfortable.
