Craigellachie Hotel of Speyside

Craigellachie Hotel of Speyside

10/10 Excellent
"This place is a must if you are visiting Speyside. A most unique and charming experience. From the restaurant serving Scottish dishes, to the Quaich Bar with its outstanding selection of whiskeys, our stay here was incredible and memorable. The rooms are well appointed and clean, and staff were beyond welcoming. A perfect spot for day trips to the nearby distilleries."

10/10 Excellent
"This was a nice hotel and the lady that checked us in was very pleasant, Room was great, very large, with a large bed and a sofa as well as kitchen facilities, although we could have done with a frying pan! Breakfast is quite early with last orders at 8.45am, so we missed it the first morning, and the second morning was very slow with my breakfast arriving at 9.15am, when we were seated at 8.30am and my partner had already finished his. The staff member did keep us updated and apologised, but given that there was hardly anyone else there, I'm not sure why it took so long. Hotel is in a nice, quiet location with plenty of parking. I would stay again."
