    I prefer modern furniture in my hotel rooms, but the old furniture gives it a really nice countryside charm.

    It is a quaint little hotel in Rothes, situated along the main road so it's quite easy to find. The location is great, if you want to explore the distilleries in the area, especially The Macallan Estate. The rooms are spacious and clean, the beds really comfortable. My personal highlight though, was the breakfast. There are quite a few options from greek yoghurt with honey, fruitsalad, porridge, omelettes to eggs benedict or eggs florentine. My absolutely favourite was the scottish breakfast (of course) since I absolutely love black pudding and haggis. They also offer glutenfree bread. Also: you can buy the exceptionally good marmalade from the reception. Try it at breakfast then you'll understand why you will want to bring some home. I can also highly recommend the steak pie for dinner. The portion looks smaller than it is and the pie is one of the best ive had.

    This was easily the best hotel we stayed at in Scotland; the family ownership stood out a mile.

    There was very little airflow and as it was a ground floor room the window wouldn't open fully so it was very hot and stuffy. It wasn't possible to open the high velux windows which would have made the airflow much better. There was a tap which wouldn't close but being the weekend they couldn't get a plumber to fix it. Not convinced by the taster menu, but the standard menu the next night made up for it.

    Free parking. Lovely staff, genuinely friendly. Really good breakfasts; best haggis I had in Scotland. Such a nice change to get table service breakfast rather than the usual grim offerings of hotel hotplates. The standard dinner menu was exceptionally good. Most hotels don't do proper curtains or blinds to stop light getting in but The Station Hotel was the exception. This is particularly pertinent when the sunrise is so early during the Scottish summers. Having stayed at 5 different hotels in the space of a week this was easily the best. Great decoration throughout which reflected local tradition with copper making and distilleries. Family ownership makes such a difference whereas Private Equity ownership leaves you feeling ripped off in the typical hotel chain.

    Single rooms are a little small for speading out computers for working but in an old building this is unavoidable. Mismatch between chair and table unit height made working a strain. Irritating hum from external ventilator/extractor. Had to close window on hot night. Again probably unavoidable but maybe a fan in the roon would be welcome.

    Late emergency booking and staff were most friendly and understanding. Evening menu short but varied and very good. Breakfast options were excellent. Ideal spot when working in the area.

    It was a little warm to sleep. Given the rarity of 25+ celcius days in Scotland I don't forsee it being a problem in most instances.

    The staff are all very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of their whiskies. The food is great and I would recommend the tasting menu along with the Whisky flight. Rooms were spacious and clean. With plenty of space and tables in the courtyard to enjoy the sun.

    On the second night it was busier and service at the bar was a little slow. That was easily overcome by ordering two drams at a time. That said the customer service and dedication of the team remained professional and we still enjoyed good interaction. Thanks again to Ross who was run off his feet!

    The location is ideal for anyone who is enjoying the malt whisky trail. The hotel is very well presented and provides a very warm welcome. Ross was great and showed us round the hotel and to our rooms. The whisky selection is amazing and very well presented in a very relaxing and well furnished environment. We stayed for 2 nights so sampled a fair selection. Breakfast was fantastic and plentiful with excellent choice and quality of ingredients. We also had dinner on the second night and opted for the tasting menu with the optional whisky flight to complement. Cary’s looked after us and was exceptional. Her knowledge of whisky’s was great and she was very attentive throughout the meal. Also compliments to the chef who prepared and presented the dishes fantastically, which complemented the quality and taste. The room was well presented, spacious and comfortable. It was a great experience and we are already planning a return visit. Very highly recommend.

    The rooms were far too hot with no heating on and no way of cooling the rooms other than to open windows but that was too noisy. The beds were too soft for my personal liking and I dislike feather pillows which is what you are given. There was am issue on our last day that meant we were unable to have the breakfast we'd paid for as we needed to leave and had been told the wrong times for breakfast which is frustrating.

    The hotel is lovely, the staff are absolutely brilliant and really made the experience what it was. Food was top notch especially the Haggis and there are no words for the Whisky room. Will definitely be returning.
