Adequate Stay in Speyside

fresh fish record player thoughtful treat booked restaurant musty stairwell exterior painting
The food was great. I liked the haddock and chips. The fish tasted very fresh. My room had a record player, a surprising touch. I also found Walker's shortbread in my room as a treat. This was quite thoughtful.
The hotel restaurant was fully booked when I tried to make a reservation. It was difficult to get a table at a reasonable hour. The stairwell seemed musty. It also felt very cold. I also noticed the outside of the building could use some painting.
