Cardhu Country House, hotel in Aberlour

Welcome to Cardhu Country House which sits in the very heart of the Malt Whiskey Trail.

We loved the country location and house - it was quite convenient having a very nice whisky distillery just a five minute walk away 😊. Other distilleries, fishing spots, restaurants etc. were quite close by car. Breakfast was delicious (perfect eggs) and our hosts could not have been nicer and more helpful. Sorry, I thought I reviewed earlier but I guess it didn’t go through. Highly recommend.

Coachmans Cottage, hotel in Aberlour

Coachmans Cottage is located in Aberlour, just 23 miles from Brodie Castle and 27 miles from Grantown Museum.

An amazing cottage - with such character and all the modern amenities. Our hosts had thought of everything - so many nice touches. Sharon and Kevin have done a masterful job on the Coachman's Cottage and we had plenty of room for a family of 4 adults. There was such great communication before, during, and after the trip that I felt like we had made new friends! So many great recommendations and the cottage is wonderfully suited central location from exploring the beaches in the north to the many whisky distilleries. The only thing we didn't like was . . . leaving!

The Station Hotel, hotel in Aberlour

The Station Hotel is located in Rothes and features a garden and a bar. This 4-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. Glen Grant Whiskey Distillery is a 2-minute walk away.

The Station hotel was the best hotel on our Speyside Way. The rooms were very comfortable and dinner and breakfast of high standard. We especially liked the pairing of food and whisky on the menu. Overall an excellent experience that comes with a price.

    Great butchers on the high street, amazing deli and wine...

    Great butchers on the high street, amazing deli and wine shop and a great whiskey shop as well. Decent local supermarket. The Hotel has a really nice bar that serves excellent draught beers. Plenty of local whiskey distilleries. Brilliant fish and chip shop. Beautiful walks along the river and a decent play area for children. Amazing fishing on the river spey that can be booked at The Aberlour Hotel and the cost doesn't break the bank.

    A nice little town with all the basics, Co-op, Ironmongers, Paper shop and Spey Larder with luxury foods. A good Fish & Chip Shop and Chinese Takeaway. The river walks run very close to the town centre. There are a couple of pubs, at least, but we didn't try any. A pretty Scottish Highland Town with beautiful countryside surroundings. And quite level to walk around.

    Walkers shortbread factory shop in the village.

    Walkers shortbread factory shop in the village. On the whisky distillery trail. Close to Aviemore and Grantown on spey. Not far from the coast. Some lovey walks and wild life. Only a few restaurants so be sure to book early.

    If you are a whisky lover, the place needs no introduction.

    If you are a whisky lover, the place needs no introduction. If not, still a pretty little village in a scenic setting. Lots of waking opportunities and ever more distillery visit chances. As they all close at 5 or before, we developed a habit of visiting well-appointed whisky bars, which offer you an amazing selection of a wide range of brands. They even provide fair advice on dram discoveries, I suppose less biased than at any distillery.

    The walk along the river spey is very easily accessible and an easy and beautiful walk. The chippy is good. The Dowans Hotel was excellent. The Mash Tun had good atmosphere and choice of whisky but the food was average. Public transport is good and the bus stand in the town displays electronic bus times. Parking in the town is free and plentiful. There is a beautiful delicate essence/food and sandwich shop called the Speyside Larder.

    Our first time in that neck of the woods.

    Our first time in that neck of the woods. Aberlour is positively huge in comparison to a much smaller Dufftown, where we started our trip! Both towns, and all the surrounding areas are beautiful, calm, quiet, feeling very secluded and out of the way when coming up from Edinburgh! The walks anywhere around there are amazing, but especially in Aberlour along the river Spey, which looked wild, pristine, clear and sparkling. Mash Tun hotel and whiskey bar is amazing, and the food better than anywhere we have eaten in the Highlands, and better than most places in Edinburgh.

    Really really amazing place. Incredibly cosy with excellent facilities; everything you could need for a relaxing hideaway. Almost too good though as I never wanted to leave! Very good location for those who can tear themselves away though, easy walk into lovely Aberlour with a fab range of shops and cafes, and awesome walking along the speyside way or into the hills pretty much on your doorstep. Oh and distilleries seemingly round every corner so fab for a whisky break, which I’m planning on returning for as soon as I can!

    Really enjoyable stay, with a comfortable bed (a little firmer than I'm used took but I slept quite well) and an ensuite. The food is top quality and mostly quite affordable for how good it is with an excellent (if pricey) whisky selection. I'd like to meet the guest who can afford the £1500 dram, but I had a very good 12 year Aberlour for £5.70. The quality of the room and food is superior to many 4 star hotels, a very good breakfast and again worth repeating, very good food.

    The location is perfect to visit distilleries in Speyside. It is safe, private, and quiet. The hosts are nearby and they are responsive and welcoming. The room itself is more like a small house, homey and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is extraordinarily well equipped. There are thoughtful, cozy amenities all throughout. We stayed there on the coldest days of the year and there were many means to keep ourselves and the room warm.

    Dave and Val are fantastic hosts. The property far exceeded our expectations. The room was lovley big and spotless you can tell that Dave and Val are professionals in this field. The breakfast was one of the best I had in Scotland and l will definitely be making the whisky and honey porridge. An amazing find in the whisky trail. Some of the so called 5 star hotels could learn a thing or two from Cardhu house

    Hotel was the heart of the town of Aberlour with local shops just outside the door. Our room was clean with a large bed and modern bathroom. Staff were friendly and breakfast was nice. There is a small pub off lobby which was quite busy. You can walk to Walkers shortbread shop, Mash Tun whisky bar, walking-bridge over the Spey, or even the local distillery.

    This was an amazing property and our room was extremely comfortable. We wished we could have stayed more than one night. The room was huge and everything was clean and thought out. Breakfast was delicious. My husband said the whisky porridge in the morning was the best thing he tasted in our 17 days in Scotland. The owners were very hospitable.

    The cottage is great, well-equipped and in a very convenient location, close enough to Aberlour to walk (and there's a walkway along the main road). The living room makes for a lovely place to chill at the end of a day exploring the area. And Michelle was a very good, responsive and at the same time discreet host.

    The tub alcove in the turret was beyond fantasy! Breakfast and dinner and location all marvelous, and the town of Aberlour with Speyside walk, woodland walks, distilleries and let's not forget the Walkers shortbread factory was a lovely stop on our tour of highlands and islands. Well done!

    Very comfortable property. Well appointed with everything that you need. Ideally located for a short walk into the village centre to access shops etc. We liked taking an evening walk along the river for a drink in the Mash Tun.

    Our second stay at the Barn, for a week this time. As before, Michelle was a perfect host with extra touches and a change of towels midweek. Aberlour itself is a great base for exploring Speyside and the Moray coast.
