Craigellachie House

“We were doing The Macallum distillery and the Craigallachie was an ideal base 10 minutes drive away. Our room was comfortable and we had been given a free upgrade. The room had been changed and updated very recently. It was warm nicely …”

“We were in Room 17. In general the hotel is welcoming and has great staff who make you feel at ease. Downside was the mattress was soft. I lifted the sheets to take a look. Wow, it was a health hazard covered in stains. I’ve honestly never seen that in a hotel and at over £300 per night I wouldn’t expect to have to sleep on that. The food was good and portions big! The whisky bar had a great vibe with the quaich passed around after 9pm - a nice touch. Breakfast was everything you could ask for (well almost) but the hotel advertised fruit etc with porridge but didn’t have any. Our bathroom had a fabulous shower but the screen didn’t appear fitted properly which meant a sizeable puddle on the floor. We fed back at check out but have had no feedback to date. Update: Had a lovely night here at the weekend with Mrs B. Tasting menu with paired wines. The chef, Pawel is creating a new experience using local ingredients cooked well to produce a taste of the Highlands which was delicious 👌 Alongside a room upgrade, the dining experience we have to say please make the trip and try the tasting menu- you will not regret it. Wine pairing, whisky pairing, or non-alcoholic pairing available.”

“We have not been for 11 years under different owners the bones and location of the hotel still have a really nice feel . The lux room was large and comfortable , could still use a few shelves in the large bathroom. But overall very good . Nice touch with a couple of drams in the room . The Spey Inn restaurant looks and feels better but was a bit lacking veggie choice but the combinations we had made for a tasty and filling meal . The whisky bar remains impressive. Breakfast had a wide choice and whet we had was great . Spent a little while in nearby Aberlour and it’s a pleasant place to spent time . Could just about walk along on a dry day. I have no doubt we will be back .”
