The Station Hotel

I went to whisky afternoon tea for Whisky Festival, the staff were amazing and so was the food. Ann was very welcoming and pleasant. I will be back for lunch or dinner. The hotel looks ok from the outside but when entering I had a pleasant surprise with the decor.

Had the most beautiful afternoon tea yesterday as part of the whisky festival events . Absolutely perfect in every way Beautiful food and perfect service Ann was just a diamond , what a lovely lady . A fabulous team of staff Will be back soon most definitely

Still and stove experience with Carys was very good. Great food, pretty good whisky pairings and excellent company. Good service, clean environment. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thanks to Carys; her patience, knowledge, enthusiasm and banter were just perfect.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Station Hotel, the staff were lovely and we felt very at home, plus the food was fantastic. The whiskey bar is very impressive as well, perfect for sitting and relaxing while sippinh on a dram of whiskey or yummy cocktail! Plenty of activities to do around the area, I would highly recommend Linn Falls walk and Speyside Falconry.

We had a very poor experience in the restaurant. The choice on the menu was not the best, but we ordered the duck and the burger. We waited 45 minutes for our food to come. There were only two other tables in, so it wasn’t extremely busy. When the food came, both dishes were not very warm. The portion of my duck was tiny, and for the price of the dish, I don’t believe to be worth it at all. It didn’t taste very nice and the flavour combinations did not seem to work, I did not enjoy the confit leg and the duck was quite tough. The cabbage was the best part! My partners burger wasn’t anything special, better portion size, but he said the meat was dry and again, not very hot. We did mention this to our server and she kindly took money off the bill, however we definitely will not be back. Really disappointing as this hotel is meant to be 4 stars with a 2 AA rosette restaurant. We really looked forward to our meal too, but this was a very poor experience.

We had a lovely meal at station hotel on a quiet Monday evening. Beautiful menu and the scallops one of the best we’ve ever had. The buffalo shoulder was melt in the mouth along with garlic mash, what’s not to love? Staff were friendly and we were so excited to order Clootie Dumping for dessert. Now here’s where it gets interesting. What we got was sticky toffee pudding with a few raisins. In no way did this in any way resemble clootie dumpling. It was ok, bit dry. We then asked the lovely waitress about our disappoin**ent. She agreed it’s not like granny used to make. This item needs to be renamed on the menu so your Scottish customers don’t leave disappointed like we did. Would we go back, absolutely! Just pick a different pudding!

Staff were excellent, the restaurant was beautifully appointed, the food was also very good - and tasty, what there was of it? All good except for two things, firstly portion sizes were lamentable, £24.00 for a 2” cube of belly pork, small pork loin and half a small pork pie?? Dessert was a Mille feuille which my daughter consumed in two bites - for £8.00?? secondly when paying so much, I would have expected at least a small amount of veg rather than having to pay £6.00 for a vanishingly small bowl containing a couple of small carrots some broccoli and onion. Again, to reiterate, the place was lovely and staff excellent

Had dinner at the restaurant. Beef shoulder was excellent, tasty and tender. Veal was cooked perfectly (med-rare) but quite gristly. Dessert was the biggest disappoin**ent. Whisky Parfait was bland, and a tiny portion size - sounded way better than it was.

Didn't stay at the hotel this year although stayed last year and it was great. Ate at Toots Bar last Tuesday evening and couldn't believe the portions we were served - don't think they were so mean with the food last year. There were 4 of us and although 1 guest had the burger, which was a reasonable portion. I had fish and someone else had Lamb an the portions were pitiful, they smallest I have ever been served - and i have eaten all over the world. There was no one else in the restaurant - although when we stayed last year the restaurant had other guests so I don't think we were the 1st to complain about the portion sizes. The food itself was excellently prepared but just tiny portions - and expensive! Would not eat there again until they change their chef
