Tomintoul Hotel Guide - Pet Friendly Hotels in Tomintoul, Ballindalloch

"It took 45 mins to check in as the reception staff kept checking in bus tours instead of dealing with people in a first come first served basis. Very poor service. I won’t be staying here again"

"Dinner and breakfast were tasty. Had a delicious Blackberry Martini with dinner. Walked around village , very friendly people and staff was friendly. Very close to Balmoral Castle. "

"Beautiful character hotel, plenty of parking and a steam railway next door. Check-in was friendly and very efficient, the room was clean and very comfortable, and dinner was excellent- really tasty and a good choice of dishes at a fair price- one issue; put the main course on a plate- the bowl makes it tricky to use a knife and adds nothing to the dish (on the plus side, at least it wasn't on a slate or an old breadboard!). Breakfast was individually cooked and tasty, but I should have liked more than the one and a half mushrooms- next time I'll ask for a couple more! Overall, this was as near a perfect stay as one could reasonably hope for; all the staff were friendly and efficient and my small observations are not meant to detract from my visit in any way. I am looking forward to going there again later this year."

"Perfect place to explore Dufftown and Craig. The staff are helpful and eager to make sure everything is just right. Highly recommend the Sunday Roast and Whiskey Room. "

"Beautiful exterior and garden area, close to town. Unfortunately the 2nd floor room was hot enough to melt my recently purchased chocolate that was on the desk. Was about 80 to 85 degrees and there is no air-conditioning. The staff brought up a fan after multiple requests which we propped in the window that could only open about 6 inches. Contributing factors may have been the full hotel (and heat rising on a 60 degree day) or the exposed HOT to the touch pipe at the baseboards that went into the radiator (which was turned off). Rough night sleep where we debated sleeping in the lobby or going elsewhere about 10:30 PM."

"Keely, (receptionist), was a marvelous breath of grease air. All smiles, helpful, and super great personality. Room was clean a sufficient for our stay. Was a bit warm at first but staff was able to provide a table top fan. Was absolutely brilliant. Drinks and dinner ($$) at the restaurant was great and affordable. Joshua, our waiter was knowledgeable and helpful with the menu items and drink options from the bar. Breakfast, (included with the cost), was vast buffet selection of traditional Scottish meats and such. Overall the Nethy Bridge hotel was a great stay with superb staff."

"The room was excellent clean and very comfortable. Diane and Stephen was great host and very welcoming when we arrived. Fresh cook soda bread made in the morning and the breakfast was fantastic and tasty. We enjoyed our stay they very much. We was definitely got spoiled. They are shops near by one of the nights we were they we had an Indian meal. Couple of hotels for dining at. We loved it that much we are going back next year. "
