Here, at the Dowans, our staff are key to making us who we are. Without their effort, dedication and service professionalism, we would not have achieved the levels of success that we have experienced since we took over the Dowans; for those very reasons, we are indebted to their hard work and commitment.
Quietly spoken but with a wicked sense of humour, our Head Chef Scott is a devoted family man whose second greatest passion is food; on the one hand, capable of producing dishes that are simple yet flavoursome and, on the other, dishes that are equally resplendent with fantastic flavours but catered to those who like the finer things in life.

Our hotel, built in 1888, offers sixteen individual and bespoke en-suite rooms ranging from cosy and elegant singles to eloquently styled king and super-king size doubles. Every room has tea and coffee making facilities, a flat-screen television, free Wi-Fi and en-suite bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries.
The menu here is seasonal, reflecting that all our fresh ingredients are sourced locally and sustainably. The '57' of the title records that the Dowans sits 57 degrees parallel north of the earth's equator: a fact known only to cartographers, explorers, and our son and brother Sean, who is a pilot, and it's Sean who gave the restaurant its name!

The Dowans Hotel lies at the heart of Malt Whisky country - Scotland's most famous export. More than half of Scotland's malt whisky distilleries are situated in Speyside. Hardly a road can be taken without seeing the charcoal stained, stone bonded warehouses and pagoda roofs distinct of malt whisky distillation.
