"I used to love this pub, where locals and tourists would come together for a drink or a meal. However, my last two experiences have been horrible, and I will not be coming back. The first time I returned, the music was too loud and outdated, ruining the peaceful atmosphere of Aberlour. Last night, I stopped by for a drink as advertised on Facebook, only to be told the bar was fully booked and I couldn't get a beer, even though there were plenty of empty tables and space at the bar. I have never been to a bar where I couldn't get a drink, even in remote places around the world. The service was poor and unapologetic, with young staff who seemed clueless. I suggest avoiding this place if you want a genuine local experience. Until the management changes, I will not be returning to this unpleasant establishment, despite my past loyalty."

"This train station is one of the best I have visited. I have been here twice and can confidently say that it was worth it. There isn't much to complain about. I particularly like the design of the station, with its reflective exterior and unique wavy frames on the inside. The environment is clean and well-maintained. All the trains were punctual, and there is plenty of seating available while you wait. The station has clear signage, making it easy to navigate and ensuring you won't get lost. The only downside I experienced was the lack of power outlets for charging phones. It was a bit of a struggle to find one when my battery was low. I believe more outlets should be added to improve the overall experience. Despite this minor issue, I would still highly recommend this beautiful and well-run railway station."

"This restaurant is our go-to spot for weekly dinners. The staff is fantastic and very dog-friendly. They have a good selection of vegetarian options on the menu and are able to accommodate dietary restrictions, including allergies. The price per person ranges from £30-40. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive top marks. Some recommended dishes include Fish and Chips, Cheesecake, Fillet of Cod, Bangers and Mash, Crispy Monkfish Tacos, Single Beef Burger with Strathdon Blue, and the Monkfish Special. There is plenty of parking available, including free parking lot and street parking options."

"This unique hotel has a pub attached to it. The rooms are fantastic, with a country house vibe, featuring large four poster beds and full, ornate furniture. The whiskey bar on the ground floor was incredible, and the bar manager was very knowledgeable about whiskey. While the food (for both dinner and breakfast) was good, the service was a bit lacking; there were no teaspoons or sugar on the table, they served chips instead of fries, and some steaks were delivered to the wrong people, making it seem a bit disorganised. However, the hotel is in a great location for a whisky tour or a walking tour. The pub downstairs was also lovely, with a mix of locals and guests."

"Aberlour is absurdly beautiful and if you want a central and very cozy place to stay, this is The Aberlour Hotel! The room was much bigger than I thought, with a large bathroom with a great shower and smelling amenities. The room already has hangers, bathrobes and slippers, a good TV and items for making tea and coffee. The hotel has dining facilities and a bar with the best cider I had in Scotland. The food is delicious, both for dinner and breakfast! It is very close to the Aberlour distillery and the GlenAllichie distillery, you can walk to both. I recommend seeing the surroundings, especially the bridge over the River Spey. There is a market next to the hotel with lots of delicious and fresh things, great for buying water or some sweets. If you are traveling by car, the hotel has its own parking. Walkability: You can walk to the Aberlour and GlenAllichie distilleries, which is great if you're going on one of the Whiskey tasting tours."
