We had a great time staying at Craigellachie Lodge. Jodi was fantastic from the check-in to sharing her knowledge about the distilleries around. The lodge was comfortable and the room was very clean. Great location. We can’t wait to go back next year. Breakfast was really good!

The hotel was amazing! From the warm welcome to the recommendations locally to the high standard of decor throughout the accommodation. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The place was a perfect retreat for us for a few days. We would, without hesitation, recommend this place.

Scott, Jodi and the Craigellachie Lodge team were extremely welcoming and hospitable while we stayed at the Lodge. I would highly recommend staying and experiencing Speyside from this location and wouldn't hesitate to stay again when we return to Scotland. Thank you for a wonderful visit and experience!

A nice quiet B&B located up the hill from the town center. The room was cozy and clean. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and just what we needed after a long day and night of Scotch tastings and drinking. Would definitely come back and stay here again.

Confortável e Agradável

Nossa estadia na Craigellachie Lodge foi muito agradável. Nessa propriedade familiar nos sentimos em casa. Atendimento atencioso e o quarto amplo e limpíssimo. Com muitas comodidade o que precisávamos: secador de cabelo, pantufas, roupão (eu amo pantufas e roupões em especial em locais frios), café e bolachas de welcome drink, cama super king, e uma banheira maravilhosa. Super aconselho aos viajantes a ficarem nessa propriedade, boa demais!

We loved our stay! The room was beautiful and spacious. The open loving room and lovely grounds were more than we expected. The restaurant was beautiful and the food was incredible. We would definitely return! We tried to add another night but they were booked.

Loved this spot!

What a sweet spot to stay - run by a family who lives in-house downstairs & provides immediate service when you need it. Lovely drawing & dining rooms, bar for whisky tastings & breakfast area with homecooked (and included) breakfasts. Amenities were great, rooms large & cost.

Lovely property, great attention to details, breakfast was excellent.
heidi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

On a one month tour of the UK, we have stayed at 17 properties. This was by far the best. The room was tastefully decorated and spacious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The in-house bar was well stocked with whiskies and the staff was very knowledgeable on the brands. We would return for a longer stay next time.

The Craigellachie lodge was a fantastic saty for my wife and I. Full of joy when we drove away the next day... A place we would like to visit again
