Family meal on Christmas Eve-Eve, absolutely delicious food, faultless presentation and service to match. Highly recommend 1881, we had the main menu, next time will try the tasting menu. Thank you to all the staff for a great meal out.

Booked a table by their sister hotel when they were full. Off the beaten track but a lovely setting and great decor. The food in the restaurant was great quality and the service was fantastic.

We had dinner at the restaurant of Hotel 1881, and the food was ridiculously good. You would normally find this quality and creativity at a restaurant with a Michelin mention. A true treasure.

Stayed there for 5 nights and really enjoyed it. The rooms were great and food was creative and really tasty. The staff made all the difference to be honest. From Tim in the morning to Liam in the evening. Great property run by great people.

4 of us had a super meal in the bar yesterday evening. We were warmly greeted by Liam the waiter, who together with the young man behind the bar provided us with great service and kept our glasses full! The decor is fabulous too. The food was all locally sourced, incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. It was lovely to see this hotel brought back to life. It has really transformed Archiestown and is well worth a detour. We?ll be back next week for a lunch in the garden.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel for one night on Friday. We had booked tickets for a South African wine tasting event run by the speyside vintage wine club and thoroughly enjoyed it. The canapes served to accompany the wines were delicious. We ate dinner in the cosy Archies bar after this and really enjoyed a relaxing meal. They also serve a tasting menu in the other restaurant which we would like to try next time. Breakfast the following morning was cooked to order and there was a great selection. My husband had eggs benedict and said it was cooked perfectly-one of the best breakfasts he has had at a hotel. Great selection of drinks in the bar too and reasonably priced for a hotel of this standard. The hotel has a spacious decking area just outside the bar for enjoying a drink in the sun on a nice day. The hotel has been beautifully decorated and the room cleanliness was spot on, comfortable and plenty of space for a short stay. Parking is included just outside the hotel and there are plenty of spaces. We were made to feel very welcome throughtout our stay by Liam, Tim and all the rest of the staff. Service was first class. Highly recommend this hotel and their sister hotel the Dowans in Aberour. Will definitely be back!

1881 is set in spectacular countryside. The hotel is beautifully decorated with a well stocked bar, an intimate snug and a stylish yet comfortable dining room. Liam was a fabulous host. We had chosen to have the tasting menu and it was absolutely delicious! Each detail was carefully considered. A good variety of whiskies and wines were available. Our room was spacious and provided a very comfortable night sleep with a view of Speyside from our window. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

Popped in past for a wee drink whilst out for a drive with my daughter. Greeted in the public bar by a lovely cheery chap who paid particular attention throughout. Arrived just before 1700hr (service commented 1790hr) but on asking for a small bite menu this was not a problem and we were served with our choice of a lovely cheese plate, chutney & crackers to share with our chosen drinks. All presented rather well and our waiter gave a great description of the selection on the plate. Ambiance was lovely, cloth napkins! and great attention throughout. Will definitely return for a meal or even a wee ligh bite.

This is a small recently refurbished 11 bedroom hotel. We ate in the 1881 bistro which has a lovely homely feel with individual bays for eating. Liam, the front of house looked after us very well and is a marvelous host. The food was superb. Wines excellent. Well worth a visit to this gem in Moray, Scotland.
