I enjoyed staying here a couple of years ago, so was pleased to bring a family group (seven adults and a toddler) to stay over last weekend. Louise was really helpful even before our stay, confirming rooms, availability of a cot/high chair etc. All things that helped us to plan. Everyone was really kind and helpful while we were there, both the staff and the locals who seemed very happy to include us in their conversations. Comfortable rooms and beds. Great breakfasts and dinners. An excellent pool table. The hotel is in a perfect central location in Dufftown although to be honest you could happily just stay indoors and not go out! A special shout for Lou who was always there and making sure that everything worked for us. Thanks. It was a memorable family visit.

The pictures do not do this place justice. Spotless, well presented rooms. The entire hotel has been renovated to a very high standard. Fabulous breakfast and really friendly staff. Nice well stocked bar and games room. This place was really value for money.

Back in April I came through Dufftown on a trip of the distilleries with my buddy from Glasgow (I’m from the states) we booked a room here and had an amazing time! We hung out at the bar and met abunch of the locals and had a blast sipping whisky and drinking Ales! Rooms were basic but had everything you needed. The food was great and the chef even came out and chatted with us. Then we had a very good breakfast the next morning before we went on to swim Loch Ness and summit a Munro. Will definitely stay here again on my next visit!!!

My elderly mother & I were attending a funeral & stayed one night. There was no towels provided in our very small room which was almost in the attic! My mother was very anxious about climbing all the stairs but no empathy was shown about her anxieties. Evening meal was fine in a nice setting, however, I was charged £4.50 for 2 small glasses of what, I presume, was tapped water as there was no bottle arrived with the glass!

After a pleasant tour of the Glenfiddich Distillery near Dufftown, we stayed at the Commercial Hotel, one of a handful of places to stay here and convenient to the whiskey trail. Rooms are simple, comfortable, cozy, and quiet. There is easy street parking, and there are choices of rooms: ones with a bathroom, or without, but the bathroom is close by in the hallway. Across the street from the hotel is a great Indian restaurant that had friendly service, and affordable prices. This hotel also has a pub downstairs that attracts both tourists and locals, offering a variety of beers and whiskeys, and is staffed by incredibly friendly, and helpful locals. Great breakfasts here — including a traditional Scottish breakfast if you want to try it— that includes haggis and blood pudding. If you keep your expectations for an unpretentious, simple, affordable and authentic hotel in a beautiful hamlet, you will not be disappointed.

We visited for an aninersary meal with our 7 year old son unlike other places he was genuinely made to feel welcome and wanted there. Beautiful roast beef and son loved his sausage and mash. Price was very good too. Only one minor gripe and that is there was not much choice of pudding, that only minor issue , apart from that highly recommend

My work colleague stayed at The Commercial for three nights , whilst working at a local well known distillery. We hadn't visited the establishment before, but if ever I am in the area again, I will certainly stay again. Miranda, Paul and the staff made us feel really welcome and so did the locals in the bar. We dined in the bar on all thee nights and the food was excellent home cooked fresh produce. The full Scottish breakfast is highly recommended by me too !.

I'm not sure if the kitchen was really still open when we arrived, but they offered the full menu. Two of us ordered fish and chips. About 15 minutes later, we were told that one of the fish fell apart in the fryer and they didn't have anymore, so my sister-in-law got something else. When we paid out, they didn't charge us for her meal because of the trouble. Very nice.

Next stop in our celebration of my grandson's birth was the Commercial Hotel in Dufftown. The hotel was in the centre of Dufftown, near to the town square. We chose the public bar which was a typical Scottish pub with a well stocked bar and one unusual feature. Two walls had glass display cases with a huge collection of cigarette lighters.

We dined here tonight and were delighted with the whole experience. The ladies who greeted and served us were welcoming, friendly and helpful, and the food was very well presented and delicious. The chef is clearly talented and the attention to detail was amazing, right down to the decreasing size of the blueberries on the top of the scrumptious cheesecake.

I am deeply disappointed with the Costa located in Forres Tesco. On numerous occasions, I have visited only to find the seating area closed due to "short staff." This has become a recurring issue, and it’s incredibly frustrating as a customer to constantly face the same situation. The store is relatively small with minimal foot traffic, yet two members of staff seem unable to manage. Their main task appears to be making coffee, which customers often have to collect themselves. In many cases, customers are left to clean up after themselves as well. It is hard to believe that the issue is due to staffing shortages. Instead, it seems that what’s truly lacking is effective customer service and proper training. As a loyal customer, I had hoped for a better experience, but this location has consistently failed to meet even the basic expectations. Unfortunately, this will be my last visit, as my trust in Costa Forres has been severely undermined. I’m not the only one who feels this way, as I know several other customers who share my disappointment.
