MAK's Restaurant at The Colquhonnie Hotel

EatScotlands independent assessor said:

"Originally a coaching inn between Speyside and Deeside, the Colquhonnie offers good quality hospitality, with local foods prepared and served in comfortable surroundings, to the travellers and outdoor activists amongst us."

Chicken Liver Pate & Melba Toast
"This was a good well-prepared paté which was just of a smooth texture. Cooked slightly underdone, leaving it moist and suitable for spreading. The paté itself was flavoursome and enjoyable."

Seared Fresh Tuna on a bed of vegetarian vegetables
"The visible aspect of this dish did not disappoint and lived up to initial expectations. The fish was of good grade and size and remained moist with good flavour and texture. The sautéed Mediterranean vegetables were full of flavour and added that extra feel good factor - an ideal contrast that took the dish to the next level."

Our friendly and attentive staff have one aim, - to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible whilst providing you with the best possible value for money.

Set in the rolling foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains, the 220 year old Colquhonnie Hotel overlooks the Aberdeenshire Don valley from a South-facing, elevated site. The hotel shares this lovely viewpoint with the Sixteenth century ruins of the unfinished, Colquhonnie Castle, and the Historic Lonach Hall, home of The Lonach Highlanders.

The hotel started life off as a Coaching Inn serving the route from Deeside over the hills to the valley of the Spey. In those days it took several days to complete the journey by coach. Today you can reach both destinations from the hotel in little over an hour.

The hotel incorporates MAKs Restaurant and our award-winning chef, which is open all year round, serving both traditional meals cooked from local and continental sources to delight and tickle your taste buds, to coincide with this our restaurant and hotel has been awarded the EatScotland food award.

The hotel has been awarded the prestigious Green Tourism Award, and can boast a varied selection of wildlife. If you want peace and tranquillity then look no further.
