Beautiful, warm, welcoming bar and restaurant on the banks of The Spey. We stayed in one of the whisky themed roomed rooms overnight. Unique and classy bedrooms. Food was exceptional, with a wide range of whisky offered up by the knowledgeable staff. The measure of a great establishment is the happiness of the staff and these guys clearly enjoy their work. We will be back.

We stopped here for lunch while we were whiskey tasting in the area. Service was excellent, beautiful park just outside. We tried the gnocchi, mussels, steak and chicken parm pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meal except me. The chicken was good but the pasta was bland. The mac and cheese was kind of bland as well which is surprising. Its a very nice bar restaurant. Big selection of whiskeys and they have a really cool cigar and whiskey room.

What an incredibly cute little place. Food was amazing, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My son was very impressed with the whiskey selection which was right up his street?.in his element!
Very cosy and relaxing atmosphere. We live locally and this was our first visit, but would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Will definitely be frequent visitors.

Would highly recommend the food was delicious and the girls serving were very helpful and do a great job. We stayed for the weekend and really enjoyed the whole experience from the atmosphere at the bar to the lovely walks straight from the accommodation. Also a lovely touch having a sauna to relax in. We will definitely be back.

Like many of the eateries we're trying on this trip, we came across Mash Tun online. I was excited to try the venison pie. According to my husband it was less gamey than what he's used to, likely due to the domestic farming of the deer and every other time he's had venison it's been wild. So if you're not into gamey meats, but curious to try venison, this could be a great option for you. We ordered a few cocktails and a glass of wine during dinner, but we've noticed a trend. It takes a long time to get drinks out here in the country and I'm not sure why. There were 3 waitstaff for the 7 tables and while the food came out like clockwork, drinks were slow to come by. We got our first set of drinks before dinner and were able to sip them during our meal. I was really excited about dessert and we ordered the cranacan and the sticky toffee pudding. My husband ordered an old fashioned and I ordered a glass of wine, but they weren't delivered until well after dessert was concluded. We even considered canceling the final drink order until our server informed us that the drinks were being made just then, and yet we still had to wait another 10 minutes before we got the drinks. In total we waited about 30 minutes for the 2nd round of drinks and by then we just wanted to leave. The restaurant itself is quaint and cozy with a nice loca feel. And once again, be sure to set a reservation in advance.

Perfect hearty spot for your scotch tour pit stop. We had several dishes and all were tasty. Dry aged ribeye was tasty and a good size. Soup was great, gnocchi was in a heavy cream and filling. Tons of scotch / whiskey varieties and solid cocktails as well.

Very large selection of fab whisky and a lovely menu. Nicely refurbished and a wee hidden gem in Aberlour. Make sure you visit the cigar room!

Great meal and cigar last weekend! We always like to swing by when are having a whisky weekend as it?s central to many of our favorite distilleries. Thanks to the gentleman who professionally helped us with the cigars I believe it was Simon or Sam (apologies) we will be back soon!

Stopped for lunch. What a great decision. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Quite an extensive Scotch Whiskey selection. Luckily we ordered the lunch special, Salmon with mushroom and rice pilaf. The salmon was the best I have ever tasted. The skin was crispy and the meat was moist and cooked to perfection.I absolutely recommend!

This is a "the" place to stay if you are looking for a central Speyside location to base yourself from. Close to all of the top Speyside names you'd know, and a few fantastic ones you probably don't!Freddie and the team at the Mash Tun are fantastic. You'll not meet a more friendly, knowledgeable team anywhere. The rooms are fantastic and the food is sublime - you must try the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast - The locally caught and smoked salmon is incredible.If you have time, and you have a keen interest in Whisky make sure you speak to Karen - a wonderful local lady with years of industry experience and knowledge. Karen introduce us to a couple of new distilleries, and wow! Karen also does whisky tastings herself, unfortunately we didn't have time to indulge but we will when we go back!For the cigar smokers there is a fine selection of Cubans and New world lines (courtesy of the team at CGars.co.uk) in the walk in humidor - and a lovely heated, comfortable Cigar hut for you to partake in. Just tell the staff you are heading out there and they'll look after you.And of course, the whisky...OMG - the collection is huge and there are a few local, very rare drams to partake in! also, if you are a Glenfarclas fan, they have every family edition from 1952!A great place, fantastic team, beautiful rooms and outstanding food - a little piece of paradise in the heart of Speyside.Rooms: Very comfortable rooms, newly decorated. plenty of space to spread out! beds are great.Food & drinks: The revised menu is amazing! plenty of local produce in the menu. the smoked salmon for breaky is incredible!
