Amenities exceeded all expectations! The restaurant, bar, and whisky lounge were all exceptional. Our room was great; plenty of space, comfortable bed, and the water pressure was amazing! Decor is phenomenal throughout but the real highlight of this hotel is the staff. Everyone was friendly, professional, helpful, and honest. Special shout outs to Lauren (thanks for all your help) and Courtney (best whisky recommendations of our trip)!

Attention for all my Scotch lovers - if you are looking to do ? tours and hitting multiple distilleries in one general location, Speyside is the place to go!While hunting for a unique stay in the countryside, I stumbled upon The Dowans Hotel, a beautiful B&B. It is an enchanting place to stay and has the bonus of having multiple distilleries within walking distance and a handful of others only 10-15 minutes away.Not to mention, the staff is beyond amazing and truly made our stay enjoyable and one to remember!

I?m not ashamed to admit I discovered the Dowans Hotel through a Bravolebrity?s (Bravo reality show star) Instagram page. We were already planning a Speyside trip for our honeymoon and I was able to book the last available room as soon as I saw the photos online. This hotel is even more beautiful and unique than the photos and we loved our stay! We stayed in the Glenlivet room. The breakfast and dinner experiences were also delicious and the service was fantastic. All hotel staff is attentive and friendly and we highly recommend adding this hotel to your Highlands vacation!
