10/10 Exceptional

We stayed three nights at the Hotel Square in Tomintoul. Although this is an older facility which could use a few updates to rugs, curtains, etc., we were very happy there. The hotel is clean, beds are super comfortable and the rooms are large and supplied with everything we needed. Breakfast was very good! Most importantly, the staff was friendly and helpful, providing great service. We had a lovely stay!

10/10 Exceptional

Unpretentious simple accommodations complimented with premium bedding and bath soaps. Hotel is warm and accommodating. Breakfast was magnificent. Staff were genuinely wonderful and friendly We would highly recommend this hotel.
rhonda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hospitality and service by the lady owner and her staff was excellent and beyond expectations. The breakfast included a good range of cereals plus a choice of delicious hot dishes cooked to orde by the chef. A coffee plunger for the table and an open fire in the dining room on a cold morning were nice touches 😀. The. hotel exterior has a grand stone facade facing the square, which was very inviting. Our room was spacious with a large en-suite bathroom. It would benefit from some update to the decor which the owner has plans to achieve in time. We greatly enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend it DCto other travellers.

Tired hotel needing tlc

Not the most up to date of hotels. We found an old bottle of milk in our fridge on arrival too. The TV had no aerial fitted. Not enough sockets to accommodate the fridge, kettle, TV, hairdryer…had to choose two out of four ! I’m not a fan of being asked to choose my breakfast menu at 8pm. I felt like I was interrupting a chat with a ‘local’ when I had to ask for some service at dinner. The restaurant is 90% Indian which limits my choices I’m afraid. A tired hotel in need of some tlc and more enthusiasm from the staff. They did try though sometimes…the manager seemed nervous to be public facing but made an effort, despite some language difficulties I’m afraid
