A very nice introduction to a restaurant by the river Spey. The variety of single malts were just phenomenal. Very popular with locals, considering the difficulty of getting a reservation. The sound f the river ws especially enchanting.

We turned up almost last lunch serving time. We called ahead and the chef kindly offered to keep serving till we got there 10 mins later than usual last orders. I’m so glad we went! As soon as we walked in we knew we made the right choice. The food smelled amazing. The staff were lovely. We didn’t feel rushed considering the time we arrived. They food was honestly stunning. My friend had steak which was perfectly cooked but the garlic butter just wow! I had gnocchi for the first time with scallops salmon and prawns. I’ll never forget it. Amazing. We have feel full and satisfied all night too , the sticky toffee pudding must of assisted that too. Complements to the chef and kind waiting staff. Highly recommend. Our pups 🐶 were welcome too. A bowl of water served to then first. 🫶🏻…

Recently retired, visiting Scotch whiskey country we discovered this intimate retreat. The setting is beautiful in the bucolic Scottish countryside. The staff was attentive and accommodating. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend this one of a kind location experience.

Ate in the restaurant and the food was delicious- highly recommend the fish and chips. The staff are very friendly. A good menu for children too and you can take your dog. Definitely would have to book to be sure of a table.

This place is a gem. We had a wonderful evening enjoying our own selfmade whiskey tasting as the distillery around the corner wouldn't take us with a dog. Very friendly staff and as far as we heard perfect food as well. If you stay or travel trough - don't miss the Mash Tun 👍🏻

Just on the side of the river is this gem, hidden away from the Main Street serving a 1st class evening meal & an even better breakfast, take a walk up to the main road, turn right & there’s Aberlour distillery, turn left for 10 minutes & you’ve got Walkers biscuits, a great find.

Stayed for 3 nights on our honeymoon! Looked at local options and loved the blend of attractive price and the included breakfast that was ready upon our choosing! Great compact room that had everything we needed. Staff were so kind and helpful! Would absolutely recommend this nice quiet place. Great food and scotch.

The staff and place is amazing. Food in restaurant (both breakfast and dinner) was excellent and the staff looked after everything we could imagine. British Airways lost our luggage and they even offered to do our laundry!!! We will definitely stay here again as we loved the experience! All staff were incredible, but Sharon the manager was so friendly and attentive.

we stayed as a group of 7 people 2 days in “The Mash Tun” in Aberlour and had a really great time. A familiar atmosphere, friendly, really hard-working staff and also “Maurize” had time to nip down there 😊 Karen managed it to get once again a table in the evening on the second day in the well booked restaurant for us 7. We also tasted there the offered composed “whisky-flights”. A rich breakfast on both days completed our pleasant stay. If we’re returning someday, than surely to “TMT”. Slainte
