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.

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.

We had a lovely one night stay here (wish it was longer). The staff were so welcoming and helpful. We dined in the restaurant for dinner and the food was delicious. I am coeliac and the server and chef were very accommodating to my needs. So glad we found this hidden gem and will definitely be back.

Jodie is a friendly, hospitable host. Their family property is a beautiful, comfortable establishment. It is quiet, incredibly clean and well kept. The morning breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend for anyone to stay at Craigellachie. If you are wanting an evening meal, go down the hill to the pub. Also delicious and very affordable. Thank you Jodie, we are so happy that we stayed with you as we made our way up to Inverness. Cindy and John. 🇨🇦

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.
