We have enjoyed Highland hospitality at its best at Nethybridge Hotel for many years. Robert Louis Stevenson once said that, for him, āto travel hopefully is a better thing than to arriveā not so with us and Nethy. We drive the 200miles from our home overlooking a river estuary and the sea, most of our furniture t****, including drawing room and bedroomsā¦..curtains, bed heads, chair and sofas we often wonder why we invest our hard earned cash in hotels so fortunate are we in our home and location but Nethy feels like home in another setting. ā¦ā¦ā¦heading to The highlands to enjoy the myriad beautiful vistas, we know that we will receive a warm welcome at The Nethybridge Hotelā¦..from signing it at reception, to our perfectly presented room near to the apartments once permanently set aside for Mae West, Cary Grant and Lauren Bacall in the 40s and 50s who came regularly to fish the Spey. The room had its industry standard four tea bags, two for arrival, two on waking before breakfast and of course complimentary Scottish shortbreadā¦.a welcome nibble before supper and a good advertisement for the industry. The staff are natural and welcoming and a credit to Strathmore Group who have done much to save some grand hotels in the north of England and Scotland. The food was superb, both at supper and breakfast. Creatures of habit, we love to retire to the drawing room and sit on the t**** sofa playing scrabble on our iPad, as we do at home. We left refreshed and ready for the next stage of our Highland tour.
