  • Historic Interior

This Pub is Closed Long Term

The former public bar to the front of this small hotel remains virtually unchanged over the last century and is a classic Scottish long bar with etched windows and vintage mirrors. It is one of CAMRA Scotland’s True Heritage Pubs, but is now being operated as the “Coffee Bothy” and no ales are served in here although drinks can still be served in the old public bar/coffee house when/if the main lounge is open and staffed. The redesigned and refurbished lounge bar offers two real ales, both from Cairngorm Brewery throughout the year. For big occasions, mostly rugby matches, a screen and projector is used in the lounge.

To the rear is a large, south-facing exterior decking area, ideal for fair weather drinking.

Currently no food available due to staff shortages.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A popular pub that doubles as a hotel with a public bar that has retaining its main features from a refitting of c.1900. The little-changed public bar is dominated by a long panelled counter and a corresponding gantry, the centre part of which has five bays with depressed arches. At each end of the counter there are tall, glazed display cases and from the back of the bar are two hatches (possibly modern insertions) to the rear games room. There are a pair of noteworthy advertising mirrors: on the left one for W B Black of Aberdeen's East India Pale Ale; on the right for Queen's Ale and Vigor Stout from Thompson Marshall (also of Aberdeen). The fixed seating has been replaced and there are a variety of other rooms that are mostly modernised.
